On tap at Taphouse Grille – Wayne, dryer stylistic hefeweizen relies on floral-daubed Barbe Rouge hops to provide wayward raspberry currant influence for standardized banana-clove expectancy and tidy herbal recess. Sharp lemon bittering persists.

FORGOTTEN BOARDWALK FREQUENCY MODULATION
Peculiar ‘modern twist’ on hefeweizen provides dry-hopped Earl Grey tea-like Wai-iti & Idaho 7 hop combo to not quite traditional lemon-soured banana tartness as green grape tannins, white peachiness and plantain starching dabble with drifting herbal misting. An awkwardly nifty easygoer.
CATSKILL JOHN O’ THE BIRDS HEFEWEIZEN
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, mild vanilla creaming rises above straw-cleared hefe as banana-clove sweetness contrasts light lemon-soured plantain tartness, wispy green grape tannins and herbal whims above sourdough French breading.
ATLAS HALF STREET HEFEWEIZEN
Just in time for the May ’22 street fair, briskly clean lemon-candied banana and clove resilience picks up mildly embittered orange-seeded lemon spritz and teasing herbage to contrast sugary cotton-candied bubblegum center and Bosc pear snip.
ASLIN NO BACKSIES HEFE
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.
HOFBRAU HEFEWEIZEN
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.
EAST ROCK WEISSE
On tap at Ambulance, effervescent lemony banana-clove entry rides atop delicate honeyed wheat base in standard manner. In the bottle, green grape esters nearly overwhelm banana-clove sweetness as spritzy lemon fizz hides slight honeyed mead and cider nuances.
UFO JOURNEY TO PLANET PUMPKIN
On tap at Schatzi’s – Poughkeepsie, easygoing pumpkin puree-spiced hefeweizen moderates cinnamon-nutmeg-allspice seasoning as earthen gourd dryness and lacquered citrus snip add slight dimension.
BRIX CITY UMLAUT
On tap at River Of Beer, waveringly ‘modified’ hefeweizen scoffs usual banana-clove insistence for lemon-soured herbal fungi and doughy wheat mold.
CYPRESS PULLED BACK IN HEFEWEIZEN W/ STRAWBERRY AND BASIL
On tap at Capital Craft – East Hanover, stylishly dryer hybrid conditioned on strawberry puree and basil lets mild orange-peeled coriander sweetness contrast wispy oaken cherry tartness beneath subtle white-wined strawberry Sangria persuasion (but basil sway’s weak).
WOLTERS WEIZEN
Laidback dried fruiting, understated banana-clove sweetness and spiced toffee sugaring gain relegated raw-honeyed astringency and wispy white-peppered herbage as prickly carbolic fizz tickles tongue. Mellow prune, plum and raisin influence needs to be thrust forward more succinctly.
FLOUNDER HEFEWEIZEN
Creamy banana-clove insistence gains strength against zesty lemon pith bittering, herbal Belgian-like yeast phenols, nectarous rum sugaring and starchy plantain snip to secure bolder stylistic urgency.
