Graminger's hefeweizen is a yeast-forward version of the style that incorporates signficant yeast-derived phenols for its main source of flavor. Aside from the plastic-like aromas and flavors from yeast, this an acceptable version of the style with some pleasant clove, nutmeg, and bread-like nuances. The beer may be quite nice when extremely fresh and modestly filtered in a pub setting, but this particular bottle did not impress me; not one I'd pick up again, unless I was in the area.
Pours a modest, for the style, 2cm tall head of slightly off-white colored, small, dense bubbles. Head retention is average, collapsing to a thick ring around the body of the beer and a medium-sized island of thin foam atop the body. Lacing along the sides of the glass is minimal, with just a few dots clinging occasionally to a side of the glass. Body is a hazy, golden-brown orange, with light bringing out pale yellow highlights and lightening the brown-orange color. Carbonation visible along the edges of the otherwise opaque beer, high in number and activity.
Aroma of heavy yeast and plastic-like phenolics with a bit of mild bread-like and banana ester scents in the background. A bit unappetizing, also missing many other classic hefeweizen elements.
Overall flavor is of yeast-heavy (yielding both yeast and plastic-like flavors) with pleasantly spicy, clove, and nutmeg-like phenolics, and a bit of brown bread. Front of palate tastes heavy yeast with light spiciness from phenolics and a bit of plastic-like flavor. Mid-palate experiences more appetizing flavors, including yeast, dark brown bread, lightly spicy phenolics, hints of lemon citrus, and modest clove and nutmeg-like phenolic compounds. Back of palate tastes plastic, yeast, brown bread, and clove-like phenolics; fairly unappealing. Aftertaste of yeast, clove-like phenolics, brown bread, and slight hints of plastic.
Beer is medium to medium-light in body, with carbonation of medium intensity, resulting in a mouthfeel that is foamy (3/4) and otherwise smooth (1/4), perhaps a bit overcarbonated for this particular beer, but well within guidelines for the style. Closes dry, with light stickiness clinging to the palate.
