CharlesDarwin (1412), State College, Pennsylvania, USA May 28, 2008 On tap at the Escanaba location as the "German Weiss." Surely the same beer. Pours a murky, heavily clouded orange. Rim in white. Light clove phenol nose. A bit warm, as
the lemon, banana and clove oil develop on the tongue. Chewy. Oily. A pretty classic hefe
flavor. I want more carbonation, more hops and more brightness. This lays a little dead on
the palate. A touch of phenolic astringency over a bit more alcohol. This is fine, but
nothing that I’m going to get whipped up about. It’s classic, relatively clean, but missing
the necessary carbonation or lightness.
BDR (1907), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 26, 2007 On tap at the Wausau location. Lots of banana and faint cloves on the nose. Yellow color very cloudy. Strong banana flavor with light wheat and clove finish. FROTHINGSLOSH (1510), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 5, 2006 Updated: Aug 27, 2007Sampled on draft at the Cranberry Twp PA location this beer poured a pale yellow color with a small white head. The aroma is lightly grainy and has a faint citrus element. The flavor is wheaty with a light citrus element and a mildly bitter finish. Sammy (3139), Toronto, Ontario, Canada May 14, 2006 Had to get a second sample, without the lemon. Cloudy white with lace. No aroma, first that reached me was above average carbonation. There is 25% wheat yeast, and its creamy, and with malt, drinkable. Medium mouthfeel. At the Pittsburgh brewpub.On sweet side.
JohnnyOS (625), Golden, Wisconsin, USA Apr 13, 2006 Pours hazy orange color with tan-yellow head. Aroma of grains, citrus, sweet malts and hops. Flavor follows aroma very nicely. Not the best hefe I’ve had, but very good nonethaless.
