beer_name: Heavy Weizen (Imperial Unfiltered Wheat Ale)
text: Typical appearance. Average head retention, but at 8% abv that's to be expected. The nose is more malty than your standard weizen, but otherwise typical. More spicy than banana-like; and there is some alcohol present. In the mouth it's definitely fuller bodied, but not overdone... dextrinous medium-full. Moderate zesty carb. Smooth. Nice. The flavor, not unlike the nose, is maltier than a standard weizen, and there's less yeast characteristics. It is yeasty, however, just not in a Bavarian kind of way... more "just yeast". Well-balanced. The alcohol is noticeable. Hmmm... it's not bad... it does dry and stick in the mouth a bit however. Still OK. It finishes dry, yeasty, and rough with an edge of alcohol. An interesting idea with less interesting results. Enjoyable.
