Nebraska Eos Hefe Weizen

Nebraska Eos Hefe Weizen, 5.2% Alc./Vol, 13 IBU. Brewed and packaged by Nebraska Brewing, La Vista, NE, USA.

I poured it into a traditional hefe weizen glass, but the contents of this 12 ounce can don't quite fill it, nor does the head take over half the glass, as it ought.

Appearance: hazy, straw yellow to gold coloring, with a large white head that drifts down to nil.

Aroma: banana and clove are right on time, with orange and lemon just behind. Sweet, fruity, wheat-y, and delightful. Lovely.

Taste: Sweet wheat malt, tantalizing wizen yeast, low to moderate hops, fruit and spice, excellently consumable. Medium bodied. Hits all the marks for an on-the-money hefe weizen. Kind of beer I can drink in plentitude come summer time.

Time to decipher the verbiage on the side of the can, what we call here at the Nib, the gobbledygook: "Eos, the Goddess of the Dawn, is fitting for the golden aspects of the color and sticking aromatics this unfiltered Bavarian-style hefeweizen beer delivers. Medium body and a huge banana-like aroma creates a wonderful drinkability unlike many others. Immensely pleasurable."

Beer's good. Can copy's atrocious.
