Vancouver Island Brewing Beachcomber – Hefeweizen at 5.3% ABV | 18 IBU (C$3.55 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 30-Apr-2020, acquired 5-Jun-2020, reviewed 9-Jun-2020)
Appearance: hazy straw with one fat finger of dense white head, good retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: banana, wheat, clove. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, low bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, medium duration mild bitter finish. (3/5)
Quite refreshing: restrained sweetness despite the big aromas of banana and wheat, with mild clove spice on the back end. Fairly traditional in structure and flavour, if perhaps slightly lighter in body. Makes for a pretty crushable brew, and definitely a good one for a sunny patio. (15/20)
