Muskoka Hefe Weissbier

How ’bout a can full of hazy golden banana-bubblegum clovey refreshment? This is a pretty stylistically correct German Hefe (no they are not all heavy as Panzer tanks, and yes, some good ones are sold in cans.) I assume this is filtered and pasteurized, but it does the trick nicely with fruity sweet tones set off by citric and hoppy balance. A surprisingly usable find at LCBO! I will drink this just because it is both serviceable (thank you pootz) and I imagine bulletproof in this format.

I tried this beer on May 23, 2009 after purchasing from one of my local LCBO outlets. The beer pou5red a hazy gold colour with a thin white heade. The aroma was wheat malt, banana, and some spices. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was wheat malt, clove, and spices. A very good Canadian version of the great German style.

Very bubbly and a hint of banana in the aroma, but the flavour wasn’t as pronounced as the carbonation. A real burp inducer

Appearance is not as cloudy as other hefe’s, but still honey coloured. Approipriate carbonation for style. Bananna, yeast, cloves and even a little pepper are all in the aroma and follow into the flavour with the addition of wheat. Pretty watery for a hefeweizen. Still very drinkable and one of the few Canadian produced wheats that tries to emulate the German style rather than a Belgan wit.

341ml bottle: Hazy yellow-orange with no head but lively carbonation. Aromas of yeast, fruit and spice. Subdued flavours of banana, wheat and citrus. Disappointingly thin but very refreshing.

Bottle from robinvboyer. Pours a deep hazy yellow color with a small white head, looks like peach juice almost. Smell is wheat, and bananna/rum and butter sort of esters. Flavour as well is very much wheat, with some citrusy flavours and floral kinda notes along with the esters again. There are some spicy notes there as well. Carbonation is pretty low, but nice, and the mouthfeel isn’t too bad either.

Murky golden-orange in colour, thin white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma was lightly spicy, some lemon citrus and bananas. The flavour is of bananas, wheat, light peppery spice, citrus. Full and spicy mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes lingering, light sweetness. This got better as it warmed, nicely done.

341ml bottle from The Beer Store in Peterborough, Ontario for $12.95 a 6-pack.

slightly cloudy, faint aroma of cloves, and bubblegum. There are some nice banana esters, but overall a wattery hefe.
