On draft at Slaters 50/50 in RC. It pours a golden amber color with a creamy white head. The aroma is fruity with some caramel and touches of strong solvent. No hefe esters at all. The flavor is solventy with some caramel, fruit and dumpster juice. More like a really bad amber ale than a hefeweizen... really kind of hilarious that they call it that. Anyway, the appearance is the only thing that saves this from being a sub 2 overall score. Pretty terrible.

At the very tiny brewery. Nice, mildly hoppy red. Not getting the hefeweizen though. Some prickliness in the mouthfeel that goes down over time. There’s something here I’m not quite getting, as with the Columbus IPA. Something about the water? Not bad.

brokensail (13782) - Orange County, California, USA - AUG 4, 2013
On tap @ Area 51. Amber pour with no head. Starts off with a watery nose before giving way to tons of paper, cardboard, green apple, and solvent. A bit of toast and grass. The flavor is extremely bitter, astringent, and harsh. Paper, cardboard, toast, green apple, and solvent. Completely flat.

Hophead22 (2879) - Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA - APR 20, 2013
Growler. Rating #1. Clear, dark amber pour with a nice light beige head. Light toast with a little banana and some caramel. Light sweetness with more toast and an unusual hop bite in the aftertaste. Interesting stuff, not getting a huge amount of the hefe in this, but it’s still tasty. (2701)
