A short lived head reaches 2" before quickly retreating, over a dark gold (SRM 5-6) beer. A yeast bomb quickly distributes a thick cloud into the previously clear liquid. After about a minute, it is one homogeneous golden haze. After the head has completely departed, slight lacing is left on the Pretentious Glass Co. Spun Weizen Glass.
A soapy aroma lends character to wet cardboard. Not a good sign. Grains are barely noticeable, as is the lemon. Clove and banana are modest at best. The off aromas clear out after a few minutes, but the damage has been done.
Sweet with a mild bitterness in balance. Banana is here, as is a yeasty bubble gum, which might be the most prevalent flavor. Light lemon suggests tartness just before a modest finish that fades within a minute.
A medium Body and creamy texture. Modest carbonation with abv as expected.
While this is far from what I expect of a Hefeweizen, it is easily drinkable and can be accepted as good without those expectations. Still nothing special, and happy for the opportunity to try another offering provided by Danna. So thank you.
