Whiffen Brewing Company / Uncle Leo’s Brewery Vohs Weizenbier Hefeweizen at 5.0% ABV ($4.13 at Bishop’s Cellar, 650ml, bottle date 7-Sep-2014)
Pours clear pale gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin skim, no lacing. (3/5) Nose is wheat, banana and clove, light biscuity malt. (7/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter, light peppery spice. (7/10) Light to medium body, prickly to moderate carbonation, slightly creamy but a dry finish. (3/5)
A solid, if unremarkable, hefeweizen. Moderately good to decent example, nice for a sunny day and a BBQ. For the price, though? Stellar. May well be the best bang for your buck I’ve ever reviewed. You’d be hard-pressed to find this much beer of that quality for that price anywhere else. Other than, y’know, in Belgium… (14/20)
