Sierra Nevada Kellerweis Hefeweizen
Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a weizen. A: Cloudy bright yellow orange, I'd say almost mango. Cloudy doesn't really fully represent the appearance, opaque is probably more accurate. Pours into a 2 finger, foamy, white head. Settles fairly quickly, pretty much dissipating entirely. No lacing to speak of. Color seems to thin out. S: Pungent wheat, lemon and orange citrus, also a subtle(but full) sweet nectar, and a little banana. Kind of a freshly cut grass, and freshly baked banana bread. T: Wheat and hay. Really grainy. A touch of bitter fruity flavor. M: Light but full. This one really fully coats the palette. Lightly bitter flavor remains throughout. D: Light, refreshing, and very pleasing. Really nice atmosphere. Great coloration especially. The different components of the nose are subtle, but there is some complexity there. Flavor is pretty simple, and standard for the style with the exception of an added bitterness that kinda' sets it apart. Overall, this is a really good quaff.
