Rock Bottom El Jefe Hefeweizen

Brewed by Rock Bottom Corporate Office
Style: German Hefeweizen
Louisville, Colorado USA

Scottsdale. Cloudy yellow. Aroma has lots of banana, yeast, cloves and bublegum. Flavor is smooth and sweet with yeast and spices. I enjoyed this.

On tap at Rock Bottom Minneapolis on 05/26/2009. Hazy orange body with a medium frothy off-white head. Sweet banana and clove aroma with some faint fruit notes. Big banana flavor, some yeastiness, and a bit of faint clove on a wheat background. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Cloudy/hazy yellow with a very nice, long-lasting and lacing head. Aroma is coriander, clove and wheat, bubblegum. Taste is sweet bubblegum, strong clove and astringent coriander. Burns the tongue. Ending leaves a smooth, foamy and silky coating on the mouth. Sampled on draught at the brewery in Arlington, VA.

spot on kid!... desert ridge location. hazy pale yellowish shade of brown with a light white ring. grain and banana hit the nose first followed by light spice/clove, floral, earth/dirt and a light citric tartness. definite bruised banana flavor with some wheat and vanilla. bitter dry finish. medium body leaves a light lactic-like film in my throat. it feels vibrant and sparkly from the carbonation. it tastes good up front but seriously lacks on the finish and back of the tongue...

Give me a break with the location madness, this beer is in Ballston Vigineeaaa. Do you think I don’t know how I spelled that? Pours darker cloudy bananana yellow with a 1.5 inch white head. Aroma of banana and a little onion. Cigarette smokers just kill, I mean really fuck up, your beer rating experience. God knows what the hell it smells like? Fucking parlaiment nicotine and formaldahide? When is the rest of the nation going to grow up to Austin’’s no smoking rules? Surely Virginia will be second to last next to South Carolina. Maybe there’ a luttle sweet banana and mild clove in there. Tastse like some wood, oak, and light banana yeast with a little vanilla. Good lacing. Dry, woody finish.

Sample at Desert Ridge location. Pours the standard hazy yellow with white head. Nose is spice, clove and banana. Palate is cloves, Belgian-like spice, banana and a touch of an apple-like taste. Medium mouth feel with ok lacing. Not bad – refreshing beer.

Tap @ Arlington brewpub. Pours a hazy yellow with a smaller white head than you’d imagine. Banana, clove, and citrus on the nose. Taste is heavy banana up front dissolving into a clove and somewhat vanilla aftertaste. Not a bad heffy at all.
