Commercial Description:
Sic Semper Fermenue Terribills "Death to Bad Beer Always" The Virginia Hefeweizen is made with 100% German Weinenstephan Weizen Yeast. Like the early German immigrants to central Virginia, we use American wheat to produce an authentic unfiltered Hefeweizen beer. Enjoy banana ester production, phenols and clove characteristics. This is the best Hefe you’ve ever tried.

Pours a cloudy, reddish-gold color with surprisingly rapidly vanishing head. Aroma is sweet, with faint clove an banana noyes. Taste is wheaty, banana, fruits, slightly spicy at the end.

Great hazy golden coloured body with a very thin white head - albeit fairly still looking. Not super hazy, but some suspension noticeable. Aroma of yeast, wheat, lemons, honey, flowers and a faint twinge of corn. Medium-bodied; Chewy yeastie and wheatie mouthful with a good potent lemony kick. Aftertaste shows a lot of wheat, some corn and a very mild sweetness. Overall, a pretty good wheat - definitely worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 18-August-2008, sampled on 05-September-2008.

May not be "the best Hefe I’ve ever tried" put it was good. Poured from a cool label growler and a great blend of banana with a slight bubble gum vibe of fruit. Great wheat after taste and very light in body, with the right amount of carbonation.

At Capital Ale House, Innsbrook. Apparently I got the last of what was in the tap, so I’m not sure if this accurately depicts the beverage I drank or not. Overall it was a decent American wheat beer. Clove, and lemon was mellow, and unfortunately the slice of lemon they served with it overpowered the brew itself. It was a mostly clear amber color, with just a little haziness to it. I’ll probably have to try it again when it is in better supply.
