Shipwrecked Summer Wheat

Brewed by Shipwrecked Brew Pub
Style: German Hefeweizen
Egg Harbor, Wisconsin USA

On draught at the brewpub in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy golden pale brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light golden grain malt with wheat, a hint of banana esters, cloves and a touch of lemon zest. Taste is light to medium bodied, well carbonated with flavors of light golden grain malt, a touch of bananas, citrus zest and some cloves. Finish is slightly watery with a fast disappearing banana and wheat grain aftertaste. This style is closer to light Wheat Ale than a Hefeweizen. At least it will keep the light beer drinkers happy.

Draft at the brewpub. Nice aroma of bananas and clove, as expected. Poured a hazy yellow- light orange color. The head was white. Light to medium bodied with bubblegum and banana flavors. Not a bad hefe.
