Flying Dog In-Heat Wheat Hefeweizen

Poured a dark, murky yellow with a white head and decent lacing. Smells of lemon and wheat - I din’t pick up as much banana as some have indicated - but a slight scent was there. The taste was of lemon, spice, and was crisp and very drinkable. Not a bad beer at all.

Lots of fruit flavor, especially banana, and some citrus. Sweet fruitiness more than anything else, with a yeasty finish. Some clove is noticable.

Bottle from Del Cerro Liquor. Hazy light orange in color. Sweet fruity aroma with moderate yeastiness. Yeast and spices seem to dominate the flavors. Slightly sour, but not a terrible hefe.

12 oz bottle at SBWF 2008. Hazy copper color. Bready, clovey and fruity aroma with banana, watermelon and apricot. Bready, clovey, peppery and fruity flavor with spicy bitterness, watermelon and apricot. Perhaps too bitter.

12oz bottle. Pours straw color with two fingers of head that quickly settles. Smell of cloves and a little citrus and banana. The flavor comes mainly from the yeast that brings a spicy clove taste. Has a bit of a lemony aftertaste. Not a big beer but is nice tasting. A little watery with heavy carbonation.

12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow/orange color with a big frothy white head that has nice retention and great lacing. Aroma is strong banana and clove with hints of yeast and coriander. Flavor is citrus with a bit of spice (clove and coriander). Very easy on the palate. Pretty much a solid hefe. Nothing really extraordinary, but nothing bad at all. Solid.

Hazy blonde pour into thin foamy head that fully dissipates leaving no trace of lacings on the glass. Aroma of malty citrus and rye bread. Initial flavor of yeasty malts with a hint of orange and bananna leaving a watery fruity finish.

12oz bottle from sample 12-pack on December 22, 2008. Little to no head. Light orange color. Citrus aroma, citrus/banana flavor. Average, run of the mill hefe. Nothing spectacular.
