8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - great name for a supposedly hoppy version of a Hefeweizen.

This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot amber colour, with one svelte finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves a bit of spotty island group lace around the glass as things slowly progress.

It smells of grainy and bready wheat malt, a hint of domestic citrus flesh, some old-school yeastiness, ethereal clove spice, and some plain leafy, weedy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, gritty and grainy cereal malt, some earthy yeastiness, muddled orange and red grapefruit citrus rind, equally indistinct earthy spice, and more understated leafy, herbal, and musty hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite restrained in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a thin airy creaminess evolving as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed malt and generic hops in a lingering pas-de-deux.

Overall - this is one of the few versions of the sub-style that has come off as actually hoppy, at least in my limited experience with this new-fangled approach to producing old-world wheat beers.
