Naked Fool
Rusty Rail Brewing Company

Straw colored liquid with ample carbonation bubbles. 2 finger head recedes into a layer of foam. Nice bubblegum aroma. Taste is very sweet with a tartness pucker at the end. Mild banana flavor is present. Good mouthfeel.
Solid hefeweizen from a great place.

Sampled from a 16oz tall boy with a canning date of 2/2/26 (or possibly 2/3/26?) poured into a weizen glass. Another reviewer mentioned that this isn’t as banana-forward, and I can confirm this. The hefeweizen is my favorite style of beer, and this one It left me with the impression of it being more of a “beginner” hefe. I like their Fool’s Gold enough to own a Rusty Rail beer-specific t-shirt, and this isn’t bad by any stretch, but this might not really impress the true hefeveteran. The silver lining for all of us here is that I’ll never use that pun ever again, and we can thank Naked Fool for that.

Poured into a wide mouth, grip shaped goblet: color is straw gold, slight chill haze, head is brighter white with fine bubbles, head only presents 1/4 inch thick and dissipates quickly to thin top with some spotty lacing.

Smell is light bubble gum, hint of banana, light clove, bread, toast, crackers.

Taste has less depth with more spice/clove forward, some banana, light bubble gum, bread, crackers, light hop earthiness.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, more a spiced feel than bitterness but some that lingers on the tongue.

Overall cleaner hefe or at least not so banana/clove forward.

 

From a pint can into an Nonic.
Opaque straw colored with an abundant head, beautiful rings of lacing all the way to the bottom.
Soft toasted malt, delicious yeast, with banana and clove flavors, a little leathery. Mild bitterness. Nice light-medium bodied mouthfeel and carbonation.

Update:
Just as tasty on draught, a little lighter on the head and lacing.
