Commonhouse Aleworks Wise One Hefeweizen
What the brewers say
“Our interpretation of the classic South German–style hefeweizen.”
What our panel thought
“Light bread and banana as hints of lemongrass mingle within the more traditional bubblegum and clove esters. Light citrus note carries through into the flavor, balancing malt sweetness. Pleasantly high carbonation cleans up the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Light pepper plays an equal role with bubblegum in the nose, as doughy malt slides underneath. In the sip, tight peppery notes can’t control the sprawl of the slightly under-attenuated body.”
