KC Bier Co. Hefeweizen
What the brewers say
“Smooth, bread-like malt body, low bitterness, fruity banana esters, and spicy clove-like phenols.”
What our panel thought
“Aroma has the expected hefe notes with an unexpected element of tobacco. Fruity esters are assertive, with a tart citrus and wheat background. High carbonation keeps it refreshing, with a lingering sweetness.”
What our editors thought
“A citrus-leaning nose with some of the familiar banana and clove transitions into a spicy sip with lemongrass and a bit of herbal bite. Sits wide on the tongue with a lingering fruitiness, while a yeast bitterness barrels down the middle.”
