Berkshire Hefeweizen

poured from the bomber a hazy brown shade of yellow with a soft white head. big time aroma of ripe bananas followed by spiciness, grain, earth and a touch of lemon. lots of banana in the flavor as well... this time it combines with vanilla, light yeast, wheat, spiciness and a tart lemon-like finish. as it warms it starts to get a bit harsh and woodsy. so, drink it fast! medium body gets quite soft and creamy as it works to the back of my tongue. as others have said it is a bit of a one trick pony but still quite refreshing.

Super duper banana-y aroma. Sweetish banana flavor. A bit one dimensional, but pleasant drinking. -Hold On- After swirling the bottle vigorously to pull up more yeast the beer takes on a nice bready, brioche like character with light baking spices.

pours a bright dark yellow but it is filltered. The nose was not very pleaseing on first smell. was sort of a soapy oder. taste is watery but definate banana tome that dies off quickly. This is a hefe that improves greatly with a wedge of lemon.

Not the best Hefe I have ever had but not bad for the middle of the New England. Visited my girlfriends dad in Mass and came across the Berkshire line of beers and was pretty impressed. Liked the 22oz bottles for the price excellent deal.

22 oz. bottle. Once a year, I empty my refrigerator in the garage, which is normally filled with beer, to store all of our Thanksgiving cooking. Inevitably, I uncover a beer I somehow lost in the fridge. This Hefe is this year’s prodigal son. I competely forgot I bought it last summer and somehow buried it in the fridge. 22 oz. bottle pours a hazy gold with a white head that was gone before I even took my first sip. Pleasant aroma of lemons, freshly mowed grass, and banana. The flavor was a bit more subdued than the aroma with lemon, lime (yes, I’’m thinking sprite) and a bit of banana noted. Mouthfeel was thin and watery. Kind of a dull beer actually.
