Golden Avalanche Donner Weiss

This wasn’t much of a hefe. was a tiny bit cloudy, bit of a citrus flavour, body was like most of there brews a bit watery.

On tap at the Golden Avalance Brew Pub. Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Served with a lemon slice. Aromas of clove, bananas, and citrus. Tastes of clove and wheat with very light bananas.

Appears a hazy light gold with a small pure white cap that slowly fades into a collar. Little streams of carbonation pump their way up to the top of the glass. Smell is of Bavarian yeast, banana, cream, clove, and sulfer dioxide. I asked the brewer, Chris Rafferty, about the sulfer smell and he agreed that it is there. He also said that he felt that it belonged there with the style. Taste is of the banana, beautiful wheat, bubblegum, clove, along with that funky sulfer that is slightly obtrusive but not overly offensive. Mouthfeel is sweet, crispy, smooth, and semi-dry.

on tap-pours a white head, with plae yellow color that has just a slight haziness. Aroma is wheat. Taste is wheat, something unpleasant, and watery.

Yeast and banana at the nose are also realized in the flavor. Cloves comes through as well. Enjoyable.
