I will admit to not having the nuanced understanding of the difference between a wit, wheat, hefeweizen, weisse, and a few others that are recognized subsets of wheat beers that have their own history and potentially a national pride behind them. Instead, I slap the "
wheat ale" label on them and drink.
The hazy, straw yellow beer has enough head for a wheat beer, and it quite predictably vanishes relatively quickly and results in a thin white line of bubbles around the sides of the glass. The aroma is a somewhat acidic with grains and coriander mingling around in a seemingly harsh environment. I can't say I'm blown over by the presentation of this one.
First sip is sour. I know, right? Sour? Why would a hefeweizen be sour? I don't know, but it is. I could tell you about the coriander and the grains in the background trying to make something happen, but that would be folly. This is a sour beer for which there can be no excuse. I'm tired of breweries not putting this stuff on their can and then bilking me of money.
Bottom Line: It's a sour beer that isn't labeled as sour. No points for you!
