Plank "Hefeweizen"

RATING:

85 Ratebeer.com, B+ Beer Advocate

DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:

“This bottle conditioned opaque-hazed brew pours with a mild effervescence under a creamy off-white head.  Taste is sweet and yeasty with notes of white grape, banana, and honeydew. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. There is a flavorful mineral element to the beer, with succulent spices emanating from the hops (lemongrass, starfruit, wildflowers, lilacs) and a welcome lack of wheat blandness. The fresh malts highlight the crisp, dry, drinkable nature of the beer.  With warming, a honey-cream sweetness emerges which leads to a bit more body.   Overall, this is a very enjoyable hefe.”
