Unplugged Imperial Weizen
A - Cloudy, soft orange colour. Gigantic, fluffy white head. Leaves thick sheets of lace all the way down. S - bananas, sweet non-descript citrus, earthy cloves T - comes off as a banana cream pudding to start, kinda surprised by the sweetness and creaminess. Lots of sweet citrus from the hops, again, expecting more of a bitter grapefruit. Dry and tart finish, with a lingering clove spice. M - full and creamy mouthfeel, but body is light. Amped up carbonation is smooth as can be. Better done than most strong Belgians in regards to creating a full mouthfeel, but keeping it light and refreshing. D - very creative, and extremely well executed. This beer has 2 extremes - sweet softness and refreshing tartness, yet they blend so well together. This beer totally surprised me the way it was put together, I was expecting to just get whacked over the head with hops, but instead the hops are a wonderful complement to a strong pale weizen. I was getting somewhat bored with the Unplugged series of "let's put everything in a barrel with brett," so I'm very impressed with the originality on this one. Thanks to Demcorhip for the bottle!
