John Burroughs was a naturalist that loved to write about birds. He built a cabin in Delaware County in the 1800's where he would come and relax and enjoy this beautiful countryside. His contemporary and good friend was John Muir, the west coast naturalist and conservationist that worked to preserve the forests and mountain ranges of northern California. When together they would refer to each other as John o' The Birds and John o' The Mountains. John o' The Birds is now also a Hefeweizen from Catskill Brewery. It's an excellent example of this style and worthy of such an homage!!

A: The beer is a little hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that left a narrow collar around the edge and lots of swirls of thin bubbles on the surface.
S: Light to moderate aromas of bananas are present in the nose along with hints of clove.
T: The taste follows the smell and mostly has light to moderate flavors of bananas from the yeast.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I really liked the aromas and flavors of bananas in this hefeweizen. It is very easy to drink.
