Front Street Hefeweizen

Draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy yellow, light orange. Thin head with a thin lacing. Aroma was wheaty and light. The sign in their brewpub read 4.6%. Flavor was light and grassy, typical Hefeweizen. Nothing too special.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours cloudy yellow with bubbly white head. The aroma is dried leaves, banana, some spicy clove notes, and a hint of fruit. The flavor is acidic and somewhat lemony at first, then grass and lemon. Tart finish with some bready notes. Pretty good.

Poured a murky orange-tan color. Heavy on the orange. Light on the carbonation. Aroma was full of orange and wheat. Flavor was a conglomeration of wheat, orange, cloves, lemon and just a slight hint of hope. However, there was not much in the way of a balance with the traditional hefe flavors. The orange flavor was also a bit too akin to simple orange juice for me. Kind of made me think they just mixed some O.J. with the beer after fermentation. Medium to full mouthfeel with the wheat giving this beer a nice body. Easy enough to drink but not one of the better takes on the style I have sampled.

Poured a cloudy golden color with a thin white head. Had good lacing. Had a good thick taste of sweet wheat, and spices. Finished with a sweet fruit taste on the tongue.

Typical wheat beer. Murky, lightly golden lager. Banana and clove nose and flavor with citrus fruit notes. Medium-bodied with a lightly oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, dry finish. Good, fruity, refreshing beer.
