This was poured into a weizen glass. The appearance had the normal hazy to burnt/cloudy bronzed orange to brown color. Lasting one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. The smell started off with the normal qualities of a hefeweizen - bready/German yeastiness up front, and then the banana esters and then the clove. Light bubblegum as it warms. The taste follows the smell pretty much the same. Sticky sweet breadiness. Aftertaste seems a bit weaker than some other true hefeweizens I’ve had by other brewers. Wet yeasty finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium in body. Nice crisp sweet sessionability about it. Low carbonation. Overall, for the style, its not bad, more yeastiness than expected, not as balanced as some other ones. I could see myself coming back to it, but perhaps not a go-to.
