Hefeweizen
Aeronaut Brewing Company

 

16 oz can left at room temperature for 20 minutes and poured into a weizen glass.

Pours a cloudy dark yellow gold with a 1.5 finger fluffy white head, leaving minimal lacing.

Initial aroma is very yeasty, I get strong banana and overripe banana peel. I can also pick up some clear alcohol, similar to vodka, as well spiciness, some of the classic clove included.

Initial taste before swallowing has some funk to it, and some fruity esters.

After swallowing I first get spice and banana with a little astringency in the bottom of the sides of the mouth, then a return of spice melds back in on the tip of the tongue, all of these sitting together in the finish along with a little dry, bright hoppiness. Crisp and juicy, very sweet.

Can date slightly smudged, 2024/0x/22
Pours a huge frothy foamy 3 finger head with fair retention, bubbly and a bit rocky, fair lacing, fair hazy golden straw color

Nose brings plenty of creamy doughy wheat, grain, straw, a bit of citrus, lemon orange like, floral phenol spices almost potpourri like, touch of honey bread and vanilla cake, banana

Taste brings more of the doughy creamy wheat up front, smooth creamy almost buttery like, maybe a touch of diacetyl, vanilla cake batter, hint of honey, mild citrus but barely any, although quite a bit of the banana esters, mild floral spices again, a bit of bitterness, soft creamy finish

Mouth is med bod, creamy doughy wheat beer, lower carb

Overall pretty good hefe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not as hazy as I would expect, although there's some cloudiness. Good initial ring lace, some spots thereafter.

Good wheat nose as expected. A bit of banana and clove.

Lots of banana in the flavor--this strongest with the wheat notes taking a definite second place. Creamy body with a lower carbonation. In a word: smooth. Easy to drink on a hot day.
