<\/a><\/div>\nI absolutely love German and Belgian style wheat ales but you never see me review them, and that\u2019s for one good reason – they\u2019re hard to find. As part of their popular Vintage<\/i>\u00a0series of beers, Kilter<\/a><\/b> has a Bavarian Wheat Ale Hefeweizen.. something I didn\u2019t really expect to see from them – Sure, they\u2019ve done a funky Saison or three in the past, but never just a classic old school wheat ale that the masses will love on a hot prairie summer afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n From their insta: A soft, cloudy, and easy-drinking Bavarian Wheat Ale with signature Hefeweizen notes of wheat, banana, and subtle clove naturally produced by the yeast strain during fermentation. 5.2% ABV<\/p>\n Appearance: <\/b>Mildly cloudy with a bright lemony kind of hue to it. The head is very thick initially, bright white in colour, frothy and actually goes down pretty quickly, leaving behind a mild amount of lacing on the glass.<\/p>\n Aroma:<\/b> I\u2019m getting over a pretty bad cold\/sinus infection so my nostrils aren\u2019t doing great lately but I get a heavy amount of clove absolutely immediately. There\u2019s a creamy banana presence to it, a lot of a sugary sweetness, a bit of a toasted sesame bagel kind of breadiness to it. Pretty solid, so far.<\/p>\n Taste: <\/b>The clove is the dominating flavour again, followed by a moderate amount of coriander, a lot of a sugary sweetness to it, banana, and a bit of toasted bread at the end – a slight bit nutty. Fairly smooth on the palate, and it leaves behind a slight nutty\/clove aftertaste for a good moment or so.<\/p>\n Overall Thoughts: <\/b>Summer is already starting to wind down (NO, IT’S LONG GONE)<\/span><\/b> in Manitoba so I feel like this one should\u2019ve been released a month or so earlier – but this is a decent Hefeweizen, not overly aggressive – just a great alternative to the Blue Moon everyone seems to be drinking at chain pub patios.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
