KC Bier Co. Hefeweizen

“Grainy nose with banana and pineapple. Slight tartness in the flavor, with big wheat notes. Low peppery phenols and bubblegum in the background. Light tangerine note sneaks into the crisp dry finish.”

“This beer pours beautifully with a billowing white head and a hazy straw color. The aroma is light on fruity esters and clove, while showing woody and herbal hops aroma. Tart wheat flavor in the initial sip, with subtle hefe character. A sweet, filling beer.”

Aroma: “Moderate toasty and bread-crust malt. Slightly nutty. Grassy, grainy malt, with slight dark chocolate. Subtle noble/spicy hops. Light dried prune and raisin, too.” Flavor: “Toasty, bready crust, and nutty come through in the flavor as well. There’s also a hint of caramel. Moderate sweetness carries through into the finish with low bitterness. Grassy, grainy malt, bread crust, coffee, medium-full body with semisweet finish. Slight noble, floral, spicy hops. Well-balanced. Crisp finish with a slight lingering sweetness but not cloying.” Overall: “A wonderful malt complexity with a clean lager fermentation. Perhaps drier and roastier than a prototypical dunkel should be, but still a very enjoyable dark lager.”
