22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.
A surprisingly dark pour that takes on a honey-orange color. Head is really disappointing considering the style, in fact one of the worst I ever recall seeing for a Hefe. Virtually zero head or retention. The darker than usual color I can cope with, the lack of head is a no-no for the style.
Pretty good pineapple, banana and clove in the nose and tastes with for me, the emphasis on a candied pineapple sweetness. It tends to build and get a bit tiring after a while, but tasty all the same.
Seems a touch syrupy in the mouth.
Drinkability is pretty good, although the alcohol also seems to build a bit, and in the end after 22 oz I’ve had enough.
