September 4, 2005 - #57 of 365

Brewer: Smuttynose Brewing Company (New Hampshire, USA)
Beer: Weizenheimer
Style: Hefeweizen
abv: ratebeer.com doesn’t know

Background: Bottle from Vintage Wines.

Appearance: Pours hazy mustard yellow with a head that’s entirely too small. The top three inches of my wheat beer glass are lonely.

Aroma: Light aroma of cloves and bread.

Flavor: Kind of odd—a mix between an American Wheat and a Hefeweizen. There are light banana and clove flavors, but there’s also a small hop bite at the end. Dry, with a very bready finish.

Notes: They should have gone full-out German with it.

Rating: 3 out of 5
