LAKE PLACID HEFEWEIZEN

TWELVE FLUID OUNCES, 5.6%ABV ( not on label)

2011 Lake Placid Brewing Company, Utica, NY

++1/2

FROM THE LABEL: "Lake Placid Hefeweizen is brewed with German wheat and barley as well as authentic German yeast, resulting in tasty esters, a touch of clove spiceness, and a cloudy, golden appearance. It's a perfect complement to sunny summer days and cool, Adirondack  nights. REAL TOWN, REAL BEER."

FROM THE MOUTH: GERMAN HEFEWEIZEN. Hmmm, a bit of a banana taste going on, with some cloves and a bready yeast- heavy on the bready yeast. Ending is bitter with the flavor of overripe banana! Not my favorite but wouldn't pass it up - probably good in a draft at the bar in the dead of winter. I am not seeing this as a summer beer but heck as long as the sun comes up.. I will be drinking a beer. B

FROM THE STORE: Tonights beer is compliments of my Dad and the beer of the month club, www.amazingclubs.com
