Organic Hefe-Weizen
Pours with a hazy honey-colored body and an assertive, cloud-white head that deflates nearly as quickly as it ascended, leaving some sudsy splotches of lacing on the walls of my glass. Smell is grassy upfront, gritty, followed by a slightly sour citrus hint underlined by the expected banana tones; some spice is here, too: cloves, pepper -- subtle. Taste opens tart around the edges of my palate, like a fresh slice of sourdough, and gradually opens into sweeter, more complex regions of fruit and spice (bananas, cherries, black pepper). Mouthfeel is slightly chewy, as expected. Not the best Hefe I've ever had, but a fair representation of the style. Refreshing on this muggy summer day.
