Silver Moon Harvest Moon Hefeweizen

Brewed by Silver Moon Brewing
Style: German Hefeweizen
Bend, Oregon USA

Grainy wheat malt backbone ripe with banana and clove. Slightly sweet profile with soft spice notes.

From a 22 oz bottle purchased at Market of Choice in Ashland, Oregon this poured a very cloudy banana yellow with a fat white head and excellent lacing rings. Nose of banana and cloves, Smooth and clean mouthfeel. Flavor is very much to type with lots of fruit and spicy flavors and a finish that mirrors the flavor. They seem to have nailed this with the bottling, as this was pretty darned good.

On tap Pours out a cloudy straw topped with a white head. Aroma was of light spice some toasted malts and a little fruit. Tast was much of the same some spice and a little yeast.

Not sure if this is the same as High Plains Hefe, which is the name it was on the sampler, so take that into account. Pours dark yellow transparent with a decent white head. Flavor is esters, some spices, bready malt, not the usual Hefe. Interesting, but weak overall.

Hazy gold, lasting white head.Sweet wheat malt nose. Sweet somewhat smoky profile, not much here

Spicy toasted maltiness is very present, tastes like cereal, a nice breakfast beer. Some nice acidity, with a lingering hazy yeastiness in the finish, that closes out with some generous fruitiness.
