Hefeweizen
Noble Beast Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

Canned 4/1/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a pale golden with a little haze; creamy eggshell white head that fades leaving great retention and nice lacing. The aromas have some hints of banana, bubblegum and spices. Yeasts and malts are there. The flavors follow the nose. More banana and bubblegum. Mild spice notes. Subtle sweetness. Low to no bitterness. Yeasts do their thing. Nice malt backbone. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is on the fuller side of light-bodied with moderate carbonation. It's very fluffy, creamy, smooth and easy to drink.

This is a decent Hefeweizen. It's more or less what you would expect from the style. It's refreshing and fitting for the warmer weather. Not bad.

Poured out of a 12 oz can into my weizen glass, this beer pours a slightly cloudy/hazy but mainly clear, light to medium golden color with lots of streams of little bubbles failry rapidly and continually rising to the beer's surface. Also has a nice, fluffy looking white head that's well over an inc thick when first poured that settles to a very thick ring surrounding the inside of the glass, some nice big cluster swirls of film layer surface foam, and good lacing. Aromas of some bready malts, of course some banana and clove, and a bit of yeast encompass the smell here. Has a pretty similar flavor profile, with some bready malts upfront that give way to banana and clove and a bit of yeast. Not really any discernible hop flavors here, and that's expected with this style of beer. Has a mainly crisp, also smooth, slightly prickly, light to medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Easy to drink in a good way. Has a clean finish.
