beer_name: In-Heat Wheat
text: Appearance: A hazy golden-amber body with nice tendrils of yeast reaching to the bottom of the glass. Up top, two fingers of bubbly, off-white head that burn out quickly and leave little lacing. The yeast that pours from the bottle is red and looks rather like paprika resting on the head. A Hefe should sport a massive, fluffy head and this just doesn't come anywhere close to that. Aroma: Clove and banana over a sweet, bready wheat base. A lot closer to the style standard than the look, but still not very exciting. Taste: Quite similar to the aroma. Banana and clove-like yeast over a bready wheat backbone. The aftertaste is grainy and fades fast. Not much more to report here. Mouthfeel: Medium-light bodied with good carbonation. Dries a little in the finish. Drinkability: A very quffable brew that works well on a Summer's day. Verdict: After a weak start, In-Heat Wheat gained some points back in the nose and mouth but ultimately failed to impress. Unfortunately, it's just a little too thin and bland to really hold my attention for long.
