500 mL bottle, $1.99 from Tower on Piedmont, Atlanta,, GA, USA. hard to believe that I have never reviewed this.
Poured into the Tucher Weizen glass the beer gives the requisite cloudiness but a darker-than-usual deep golden/orange butterscotch color. Head is OK, but lacks real density, retention and much lace. Disappointing would be harsh, but not the best looking Hefe by some distance.
Light banana greets the nose.
Carbonation seems about right, but the beer itself lacks a bit of depth. Not thin, but could do with an extra shot of wheat, yeasties in the final swirl. More pretty light banana and a touch of spice in the mix. Again muted.
No a big flavored Hefe by any stretch of the imagination. Not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, but it’s not a bold or especially fulsome beer.
