Draft at brewpub. Decent session beer. I just dont’ think it can compare to a great German hefe-- especially Schneider on draft in Germany. Actually reminded me a little of a saison I brewed a few years ago. Decent session beer, but nothing to write home about. Probably a good beer for all the yuppies that live in the area.

Aug 6, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Poured a cloudy medium orange color with a white head. There was a distinct bubblegum aroma accompanied by banana and a hint of caramel. Medium bodied and delicately sweet. I tasted clove, banana, and bubblegum with a buttery undertone. This was a good hefe and much better than the one I had the previous day at Goose Island Wrigleyville.

May 21, 2008 In short: A very tasty and heavy Hefeweizen. Very good.
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Cloudy dark yellow body with a long-lasting small white head
In long: Full, really full body with a ton of wheat and hay. Bananas, coriander, orange peels, banana cake, ginger, bubble gum, banana muffin. By Hefeweizen standards that thing is big, very big, to the point of being more nourishing than refreshing. I could almost eat it with a fork. I really liked it. When you take something that is girly and German by nature and then you boost it, make its body big and heavy and turn it into something manly, you either end-up with Piece Pizza Hefeweizen or a new member of Germany’s olympic female swimming team.

May 7, 2008 Updated: Jul 16, 2008Pours a dark murky orange with a white bubbly head. Not much of an aroma, some lemon, dough, yeast. This really is a German Hefe...nothing American about it. Sweet banana, clove and lots of orange peel bitterness. Touch of alcohol with a yeasty finish. Medium body with some corse carbonation. Nothing like fresh Hefe!

Thick orange cloudy beauty in the pour. Strong hefeweizen dough lemon grassy clove smell. Big bananas and lemon spice in the flavor. Citris and clove are balanced perfectly here. The flavor is not overpowering at all - rather it is balanced and thick and yummy. I highly recommend this Hefe.
