Beer-a-Day #212
The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends.
There were huge delays on the commuter train today, giving me the opportunity to stand around in 90+ degree heat for over an hour, to sit between two other hot and tired commuters for another hour-and-a-half, and to get home over two hours late. I deserve this beer.
Dark yellow with typical wheat haze. Banana and cloves in the aroma. A little bready in the flavor, but otherwise a nice, crisp hefeweizen. Refreshing. I’d gladly have this again.
Well, I drank 12 of them last night and couldn’t get a buzz to save my life. I actually stumbled onto this website because this morning I thought I would google Haywire to see if by chance it is a low/no alcohol beer (without having to dig through my garbage can and no I don’t recycle). I do have a hint of a strange little hangover this morning but other than that nothing. After 12 quality beers I shouldn’t be able to remember what I had for dinner last night. They should hand these out at AA meetings to wash down the sugar cookies. Nice enough tasting beer however.
