Common Crown Brewing Co. Hef Off! – Hefeweizen at 5% ABV | 12 IBU (C$3.91 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 1-May-2020, reviewed 5-May-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale gold with two fingers of dense off-white head diminishing gradually to a thick persistent cap and spotty soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: cloves, banana, wheat, earthy weeds. (7/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, low bitter, light spice. (7/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry mild bitter lightly spicy finish. (3/5)
Meh. It’s not bad, but it’s not the “loud & crazy” the label promises. It’s a bit earthy and weedy on the nose, and a bit too sweet on the tongue. It’s not terrible, but it’s a good example of why this isn’t usually one of my favourite styles. (13/20)
