1L howler from the brewery tap room - nice people there, I gotta say. This is apparently a dry-hopped hefeweizen, with the name meaning 'My Best Fiend' in German.
This beer pours a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and rather bubbly ecru head, which leaves some splattered and sudsy snow rime lace around the glass as it gently subsides.
It smells of bready and doughy pale malt, a lesser zingy wheatiness, slightly phenolic yeast, banana cream pie, subtle white pepper and clove spice, and a bit of wet pine forest and estery floral hoppiness. The taste is semi-sweet, caramelized wheat cereal, mixed fruity notes (melon, citrus, and stone fruit), still sick-seeming yeast, ethereal earthy spice, and more tame leafy, piney, and floral hop bitters.
The bubbles are fairly understated in their meek and shy-seeming frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a soft creaminess manifesting as things warm up a tad. It finishes off-dry, the sugary wheatiness persisting like a boss.
Overall, this is a pleasant stab at the venerable Teutonic style, with most of the required points being fully addressed. I'm not sure what effect the dry-hopping provided, other than perhaps contributing to that robust and complex fruity character. At any rate, this is easy to drink, with not even a whisper from the 13-proof alcohol quotient.
