Wild River Hefe-Weizen

Brewed by Wild River Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Grants Pass, Oregon USA

Serve in Weizen

tap, clear dark yellow with no head, no aroma at first, when warmed VERY light citrus/malt on nose, BIG yeast present on taste (pretty much opposite for me compared to harlequinn...different batches i guess) with almost no malt/hop presence, palate like a pale ale, very thin and watery with no residuals, not a terrible taste..but should NOT be called a hefeweizen.

From a 12 oz bottle we pour a light clear yellow, with bubbly head. Nose of citrus and and not much else. Thin mouthfeel. Flavor is of very light malts. Dry finish. Overall a very bland beer.

This is more of an American style wheat as opposed to German. There was a big lemony aroma, lots of citrus but no hints of yeast. The flavor is really strong on the toasted malts, like a breakfast cereal, no spice, just a hint of bananas, very light, thin and watery. The finish was at least very clean and crisp.

On tap at the Wild River Brewpub. Pours a very clear golden yellow with a thin white head. Lemon was served in the glass, but was quickly thrown overboard. This beer was still very lemony, i think partly because of that lemon parasite that was discovered, but also just because of the beer itself. This beer should be put under the American Wheat catagory, cause there was no spiciness to it, very thin and mild wheatiness. Finish was a bit bitter with a light crispness.

Cloudy, tan bubbly heffe. Citrus, fruit in the nose. Crisp, citrus... lemon flavor cut thin by some wetness. Little mouth texture for a hef. Sour finish.
