Hell’s Basement Brewing He Ain’t Hefe – Hefeweizen at 5% ABV (C$2.65 at Collective, 355 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 22-Sep-2019, reviewed 14-Oct-2019)
Appearance: slightly hazy pale gold with one fat finger of rocky white head, excellent retention and moderate chunky lacing. (4/5) Aroma: banana, sweet grainy wheat, light citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry medium bitter finish. (3/5)
Well, despite the name, it’s Hefe-ish… sorta. The brewer claims Belgian yeast and Motueka hops, but neither of those really seem to be playing a major role here. As fas as I’m concerned, it’s banana and wheat, with a bit of citrus as an afterthought. Drinks easy, finishes OK. (14/20)
