In-Heat Wheat Hefe Weizen
4.7% abv
12 oz bottle
IBU 12
Flying Dog Brewery
Frederick, Maryland, USA
My Strength Rating: 4
Ok, there is something going on with this 6 pack of beer. They must have juiced this beer up with extra carbonation. Every beer that I have opened up just wants to explode and then you cannot pour a good beer, it is all foam. The cloud of foam that is in the glass looks like the pastry chef toasted the top. I have never had this beer do this before in past years.
The aroma has a soapy smell with some wheat in the background. The taste has some lemon citrus zip, wheat, and some spice. The watery edge is a little big for this beer and of course the carbonation is out of control. Once I got a chance to put all the beer from the bottle in the glass the color is a ruddy orange color. There must be something wrong with this six pack of beer – bottom of the barrel stuff maybe. But, the taste is pretty much the same.
I usually pick up a six pack or two every summer because it goes well with a cigar with its watery edge. This beer does not have the character of a hefe weizen but, it is serviceable on a hot day.
Buy: If you are looking for a Hefe Weizen, skip this beer. If you want an ok wheat beer to go with a cigar or with food knock yourself out and get a six pack. There are too many good Hefes out there to bother with this one.
