Great Lakes Market Street Wheat
Poured on tap at Meridian Pint during DC beer week, into a tulip glass. A tulip glass for a hefeweizen?? First for me! A dull copper almost bronze amber body with no head presented. A thin soapy white collar with thin lacing while drinking. In the middle of the glass is some good racing carbonation. Bouquet is a little vinous grape mild sweetness. Sort of an interesting weak hop orange if I could say. Digging this. Not very classic hefeweissen smelling though. Taste brings a chewy but wet almost mouthwash texture. Chewy wheat in the palate, with a mild almost mint sensation and clove. Some brown bread crust as well in there. Overall I enjoy it but it is an odd take on this style, easy drinking, and no complaints from me!
