?Hef? Hefeweizen

Facial hair aside, Hef is a hefeweizen or wheat beer. Out of the bottle, it poured well with a creamy head and a golden/amber hue. The aroma that emanated from the glass as I poured was stunning and begging for me again to shove my ample appendage (yes – I’m referring to my nose) into the fray. Clove-like spice? Banana? Must be a wheat beer…

The flavour profile was also a page out of “Wheat Beer 101″. Fruit driven, full-bodied with a hint of clove. It is rather short on the front palate but lingers toward the back. Delicious. The only downside to Hef is that it’s a limited release brew and thus may not be around for long. Hopefully BBC will see the light and keep this product in their portfolio; he’s a delightful chap.
