No Label Brewing Co El Hefe
What the brewers say
Our flagship brew, a Hefeweizen
What our panel thought
"Yeasty/bready nose with a pleasant ester note. Rather than a clove/banana balance, the aroma pits clove against a more perfumed floral ester. It gives the beer a quirky note from the get-go. Really leans into the bread-like quality in the body, gives it a nice chew. Leans towards ripe banana with some medicinal underpinnings, this combined with the fully body land a little clunky on the swallow. The flavor pulls in some more familiar banana, but the floral essence comes back in the aftertaste. Pleasant, hits the notes for the style."
What our editors thought
"Engaging aroma with classic banana and clove fermentation notes alongside Noble-like pink and red floral notes. Simple and effective in the sip, properly attenuated, while the lightly spicy hops contribute a peppery energy."
