Fair State Hefe Weizen. This is one we had on tap some time ago, and I never took notes, but I bought a 4-pack of cans. The last one has been sitting in the fridge and giving me the evil eye every time I open the door. We're definitely moving out of the season, so let's take this one down before moving on to oktoberfests and pumpkin brews.
12 IBU. 5% ABV.
Hazy, pale yellow hue, large ivory head, that inevitably drifts down.
Classic Bavarian hefe weisse bier aromatics: big banana, lemon, and clove. Somewhat sweet, and slightly spicy.
On the palate, sweet and wheaty, perfect texture, nothing but smooth and refreshing. The requisite flavors are in good supply, the light clove spiciness, the citric snap, the hint of banana. Creamy and quenching. Light bodied, easy-drinking, just the thing for summertime.
the can copy is relatively free of gobbledygook. There's a brief description, and a manifesto of sorts regarding their "collective perspective." This canned Hefe Weizen fills the bill respectfully, accomplishes it's every mission. I have to keep coming back to these guys. They're worth watching out for.
