On tap at Seven Lakes Station, new labeled hefe circa 2023 lets sour green grape esters and cucumber-watered watermelon rind earthiness lead into its stylish banana-clove-bubblegum sweetness contrasted at the finish by musky herbage. Sourdough breading reinforces sourly sweet fruiting.
The first lactose milkshake hefeweizen marketed (?) during 2022, its banana-sweetened Madagascar vanilla bean creaming could be richer and the wheat-honeyed base needs deeper resonance. Unexpected champagne-sparkled white and green grape esters add tart edge to slightly unique variant.
On tap at Pompton Craft House, banana bubblegum sway outdoes spritzy lemon tartness, raw honey starching, mild plantain sway, dainty coriander-clove spicing and soft herbal snips.

On tap at Taphouse 15, herbaceous luster nearly buries early banana-clove-coriander expectancy as lemon-peeled orange zesting ascends. At Pompton Craft House ’24, richer banana-clove luster, lighter lemon zesting and slight rummy sugaring reached creamier sourdough base.
Mildly creamed vanilla licks peruse banana-clove sweetness and fizzy lemon-seeded prickle over sugared wheat base. Distant plantain tartness, snippy grassy hop astringency and a tiny metallic shard fill out the casual backdrop.
