This Hefeweizen is very true to style -- highlighting the classical flavors of esters, phenolics, and malted wheat while restraining hops throughout. The aroma begins with a nearly even balance of medium-light bubblegum ester, clove phenolic, and bready wheat. Sporting a typical Hefeweizen haze, this golden beer holds a long-lasting, mousse-like white head. The flavor of the beer holds a similar balance to the aroma, with moderate bready and grainy wheat, bubblegum esters with a hint of banana, and clove phenolics. The beer finishes with a light bitterness, a lingering bready malt, and clove phenolics. Again, this beer has all of the classic elements of a Hefeweizen in perfect harmony.
