1L howler from Sherbrooke Liquor store - subtitled 'He Ain't Hefe (He's My Brother)', apparently. Made with Belgian yeast and Motueka hops, so how they got a hefe out of this, I dunno.
This beer pours a murky, medium apricot yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some tiered, streaky and webbed lace around the glass as it slowly bleeds away.
It smells of damp banana chips, grainy and crackery cereal malt, a hint of generic citrus rind, a mild earthy spiciness, and some plain weedy, herbal, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, banana Peeps, some muddled tropical melon fruitiness, faint clove and black pepper spice, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and dead floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly laid-back in its insouciant frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad out of the trusty ol' basement bar fridge. It finishes off-dry, the malt and frooty melon notes presiding.
Overall - this is a brew that presents a whole whack of flavour, but as suspected, it doesn't really seem like a Hefeweizen, which I guess is why they named it the way they did. Duh. Anyways, worthy checking out, IMHO.
