Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
South Burlington, Vermont USA

light yellow pour from bottle. very odd citrus flavor. Nor smooth or refrishing.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Hazy pale gold with lasting flat head and lace. Lemony banana bubblegum spice aroma. Sweet honey with mild citrus and lingering cloying and spice in the throat. I had this on tap at Great Lost Bear last year and thought it was one of the worst craft brews I’d ever had. Well, it’s not that bad. Just a little yucky

Bottle and served in small Ayinger glass: Slightly cloudy with a big fluffy head and good lace. The aroma has notes of bubblegum, lemongrass, clove, musty cellar, wheat husks, and some medicinal esters. The taste is malty and wheaty with a moderate amount of fruitiness. Some spicy notes upon the finish. The mouth feel is watery and sort of chalky. Okay beer but seems to be lacking full refreshment.

Pours into the glass a yellowish gold with an offwhite head. Aroma is somewhat malty with a little zest that i would attribute to the lemon grass. Flavor is good, but a bit overwhelmingly malty with no sort of yeast that I want from a beer that calls itself a hefe

Not a great hefeweizen but a pretty good wheat ale/witbeir nonetheless. Very sweet with some citrus zing, this is an ok chioce for summer daydrinking. Not exactly a world class beer, but drinking local in VT can be a good time.

Hazy dark bronze body. Orange scented bubblegum was the primary aroma. There was also some fruity strawberry. The taste was navel oranges with some light malt. This was sweet and fairly bland.

Hazy gold pour with a small, quickly fading white head. Yeasty, lemony citrus aroma with a subtle sweet wheat background. Sweet yeasty lemon flavor with a crisp wheat finish. A little on the thin side with moderate carbonation and a somewhat watery finish. Good hot weather beer but nothing terribly impressive.

Very drinkable. A little bit too lemony. but refreshing, semi-full mouthfeel. clovey. not the bubblegum you might expect from a hefe or the sweetness. I agree with the commercial description. the overwhelming cloves make it more of a spice/herb/veggie genre. Its good. worth a try if you are a hefe afficionado but if you only really like hefes and are in the mood for one, try something else.
