2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 joeneugs (4453) - Livermore, California, USA - MAR 17, 2014
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. Theres something here Im not quite getting, as with the Columbus IPA. Something about the water? Not bad.

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.

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 its still tasty. (2701)
