Half Pints Brewing Company Weizen Heimer Hefeweizen at 5% ABV ($5.40 at Solo Liquor Copperfield, 650ml, no bottle date or best before)
Pours slightly hazy pale gold with a short loose white head diminishing rapidly to nothing, no lacing. (3/5) Nose is wheat, lemon, banana, cloves, bubblegum. (8/10) Taste is low sweet, mild bitter, mild tart/sour, salt(?). (8/10) Light body, moderate carbonation, crisp tart lightly spicy finish. (4/5)
That’s different! Light and crisp, with distinct lemony notes and a crisp finish. I just went reading reviews and nobody else mentions it, but I swear this has got a lightly salty finish – heck, it’s almost a gose! I like this a lot, and it’s the second one from this brewery that I’ve really enjoyed – which means they’re officially on my short list for checking out additional brews. (17/20)
