A: Pours a light brown/reddish color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and plenty of lace left behind.
S: Aromas is all darker malts. Bread and husky wheat. Not a lot of esters, which might have added some complexity, Though not bad overall.
T: Like the nose, the darker malts are the show. Which run from baked bread to grains, and husky wheat. While I do enjoy that, its missing the banana esters and clove/spice I love with both regular and dark Hefes.
M/O: A medium body with good carbonation. Smooth at the same time, and finishes dry. I'm actually surprised this is at 4% ABV as I would have pegged this at least 5.5%. Drinking above its weight as it were. Which is a good thing for a session beer.
I'm glad Great Heights tried this style. While I wouldn't say its a great example, the darker malts are nice and enjoyable. Along with the low ABV, this gets repeat drinks from me. Though, I would say lacking a bit in the style category. It got the malty part of the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel correct, but missing the great fruity/spicy ester and yeast for balance.
