Giesenbrau (pronounced "GHEE-sen-broy") Giesen Weiss Hefe Weizen. 5.1% ABV. 10 IBU. Giesenbrau Bier Co., New Plaque, MN.Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.
In the nose: there’s some banana, right next to citrus, with a touch of clove. Lightly spicy, fruity, nice.
In the mouth: Light-bodied, refreshing, easy drinker. Nice, citrusy flavor. Not quite what I look for in a weizen, though. Lacks a bit of the banana & clove, missing the yeast.
This one falls short. Drinkable, but disappointing. I was expecting more from a brewery that wears it's touts it's German roots as loudly as it's lederhosen.
Maybe it lost something from being a month old? Maybe?
