Actually, this is not a bad little hefe. I think as this is one of my favorite styles, I’m a bit rough, as I should be. The color resembles a good hefe with its honey color, and murkiness, yet somehow this beer looks like an imposter-a poser? Same with the head, the beer just does not look natural, instead of white and fluffy and proud, this one looks creamy and slick textured. Aromas do include banana, and a touch of clove, and some bubblegum, but again in a contrived sort of way. Flavors are clean and slightly antiseptic and the beer does refresh, while in a Stiegl Pils turned hefe sort of way. I think this is a nice choice for those new to the style, yet I can bet those who are fond of the style will whack this puppy-though it really aint all that bad-burp….
