The Love
Originally reviewed as Brewmaster's Special Hefeweizen, July 2002, at the (now closed) Starr Hill Restaurant & Brewery at its original downtown Charlottesville location. A refreshing, summer seasonal produced at Starr.... shows up with a pale, golden straw-like color. A bit cloudy, it has a very thin, white head, but nice lace! The major component of the nose is a yeasty spiciness. Medium bodied, it has the typical, slightly prickly smoothness on the tongue. Flavor seems like a combo of the American and German styles. A spicy start, with a touch of clove leads to a finish replete with lemony notes. Nice on a 95F day in toasty Charlottesville! overall: 3.85 appearance: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | mouthfeel: 4 | drinkability: 3.5 231 (beer review id: 18464 / 07-04-2002 18:37:17)
