Glouglouburp (1876), Montreal, Quebec, Canada May 14, 2008 In short: Some kind of very herbal and spicy Hefe-Weizen. Weird and kind of fun.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Ugly murky dirty banana color with a very small white head
In long: Spicy nose. Taste has lemongrass upfront with plenty of hay/wheat some bananas some ginger, some lemon. Very herbal. The finish is as tart as it is spicy. This beer is actually quite tasty. Unusual and pleasant. Name refers to stuff the brewer was smoking to come-up with a recipe like that.
Beerman6686 (538), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 29, 2008 Pours a very hazy yellow color with a white head. Aroma of lots of lemon and wheat. flavor also had lots of lemon with the strange ginger flavor. edden (886), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA May 14, 2007 4/28/07: MRAF ’07 – Cask. Light lemon body & cloudy. Nose of ginger root and lemon. Flavor of grass – ginger – lemon. Dogbrick (2166), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 1, 2007 Cask version at Barley’s 5th Annual Mini RAF (04/28/07): This beer is a hazy yellow color with a thin and quickly diminishing white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma is yeasty with some ginger and lemon. Light, crisp body with zesty citrus, wheat and ginger flavors. The finish is refreshing and citrusy and leaves a mild bitter hops aftertaste. A lawnmower beer as only Great Lakes could provide. kimcgolf (656), Dacula, Georgia, USA Apr 30, 2007 This was a different beer, but actually enjoyable. Poured to a lemon-gold color, with thin white head that lingered for most of the glass and left decent lacing. Aroma was a mild mixture of hops and waht smelled like ginger, with a hint of lemon. Taste was very heavily ginger, which carried over into the finish very nicely.
I couldn’t have many of these, but for one, it was a good experience.
