Lake Placid Hefeweizen
Got it on tap at the brewpub on August 10, 2010. A: Body is cloudy, pale yellow in color, with a 2-finger white head that settles to a meringue-like foam. Leaves good lace. S: Nice hefe nose -- banana and clove is there, as well as a touch of lemon. T: Great example of the style - lemon, clove and banana up front. Finishes dry and lemony, with a touch of generic citrus. M: Light-bodied, smooth carbonation. D: Excellent. Drank this one down quickly, liked it a lot better then their Summer Ale (Grace's) that I'd had previously. Notes: The literature at the brewpub claimed they use a "Weihenstephan" yeast strain. That could explain why I liked this one so much, as I'm a big fan of Weihenstephaner's hefe. Great job with this one.
