Very disappointing when I drank it at BB’s in Memphis.
I suspect that this is a brew that can vary depending on the place you drink it. The care that it is kept under and served with is likely to make a difference. I always feel that this style is particularly sensitive to it’s treatment when served on-tap.
Poor listless appearance. The Wheats/Hefe/Wits always have the potential to look like cold dishwater, and without a rocky head, good retention and lacing they can be somewhat unattractive. This pour had no reedeeming features and didn’t look good at all. Some spiciness in the aroma but very little that I would normally want and expect from the style.
Taste here was very bland with a biting combination of bitterness and carbonation at the end. Thin mouthfeel completed the disappointing experience.
I would be happy to give this another chance since I don’t believe that this beer can be as bad as I experienced it. The bottle may be different and perhaps another on-tap experience would be nicer too, but for now a low score from me.
