Butternuts Heinnieweisse
Traditional Hefeweizen from Germany usually taste like cardboard because by the time you drink them, they’re not fresh anymore. Chuck brews Heinnieweisse with Bavarian yeast and a 67% wheat grist approximately 5000 miles closer to your mouth than Germany giving it a rich, fully fresh palate. Pour it and see the wheat cloudiness, smell the notes of estery aroma. At 4.9 % abv you’ll taste the effervescent, sweet yet tart freshness that no farty old German can boast. And what does an Alien have to do with any of this? Ever notice how a hop looks like an Alien’s head? Look again.

A favorite daily drinker I have neglected tacking up for way too long. Poured from the can straight to the mason jar. Mason jar..??? Yup...favorite utensil for a daily drinker. A fun tasty and fresh weisse...And it’s portable too...clouded straw. The nose had a quick hit of banana, the big swallow after follows with a yeasty citrus wheat sweetness. Yeah.
Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. This is a crystal clear golden colored beer with a medium sized white head. The aroma is grass and alcohol. The taste is slightly bitter with an unpleasant aftertaste. Not a good beer.
Light hazy bronze tan color of ginger ale with an ok head. Zesty fresh wheat and milled grain nose with a tiptoes of phenols swirling about the bouquet--perhaps even with coriander, which contributes a bracing quality. Watery, easy wheat flavor with some sweet, watered down grain notes. A flowery finish. Interesting take on a hefeweizen--somewhat telegraphed by the deScription of "farmhouse ale" on the can.
Pour from a 12oz can. Cloudy diry yellow brew with big whit ehead that settles down to a frothy scrum. Aroma of banna and bubblegum. Taste is sweet with pronounced banana and bubblegum notes emerging in the finish.
Enjoyable but a little too sweet, overly dominated by a few simple tastes and lacking complexity.
amber color; sweet, fruity banana aroma; really fruity, sweet banana flavor; sweet malt and mild clove notes; the sickly sweet banana notes are a bit overwhelming; I could not finish i
Can. Gold, slightly cloudy, with a decent head. Aroma is grass, hay and weak. Taste is hay.
Pours mostly clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Banana and bubblegum aromas. Soft with dry caramel and sourdough upfront turning to banana skin in the lasting finish.
Beautiful pour, cloudy from the can with foamy head and coming in at a pale straw.
Nose is lightly fruity esters. Palate is lightly effervescent without much crispness, which can be good or bad depending on what you're looking for.
Very mild tartness with strong notes of grain and hints of citrus. Finished somewhat thickly cloying to the palate. Not bad and definitely a drinkable summer beer.
Social wines. Light, crisp. Good for a afternoon beer in the spring. Mix between a hefferwisien and sasion.
Can from Nikki’s Liquors. Somewhat murky yellow pour with a white head. Unripe banana and bubblegum aroma and taste. Soft carbonation. Okay, not great.
Pours cloudy golden color with foamy white head. Aroma is citrus, yeast, and cloves. Flavor is light malt, lemon, some tartness, yeasty spiciness and cloves. Doesn’t taste like a hefeweizen at all but taste Belgium.
Gift from Maxbier, poured into a glass. Pours a hazy light yellow with a foamy white head. Aroma is of malt, grain, earth, spice. Taste similar. I'm betting this beer would be better during the summer months and not a cold winter day.
Not a super amazing hefeweizen but it’s a little underrated nonetheless. Pours golden with fizzy initial head. Some bubblegum, some banana. Light sweet finish. Can.
Can from a pic 6. Pretty nice effort, I must say. This one is heavy on the cloves in the nose and especially the palate. Finishes very dry.
Hazy golden pour from can, big white head. Aroma of mild yeast, wheat, and lemons. Taste is oddly lemon/citrus tart and sweet. Quite a bit of bready sourdough yeasty flavors. Not a bad brew; but- you better like the sourness of a Berliner Weise, the yeastiness of a farmhouse, and the sweetness of a Riesling or you will not enjoy this one.
Cloudy yellow, white head that’s gone in an instant. Nose is clove and banana. Tastes almost sour, sweet.
Ok so this is why there is not a craft beer bubble. If there was this brewery would pop. Sounds mean... Because it is but the truth hurts.
Aroma is ginger and lemon. Smells super artificial. Like bud light almost.
Looks light yellow like pee color. Little head.
Taste is ginger. Lemon. Yeast. Bread. Like French baguette. Maybe Like a lemon torte. Like a sourness in there. Lemon. All the lemon.
Palate is thin. Light. Watery. Finish is dry. Which is a good thing.
Drinkable for the style its just garbage. Tastes artificial. Tastes like lots of adjuncts (which if it isn’t adjuncts there are some lessons that could be applied to other beers to pull out lemon and ginger notes like in a saison or something.)
Pass
Aromas of banana, cereal, subtle tart rotten apple. Pale, hazy yellow-straw, with a lasting white head. Pretty dry, grainy. Light bodied.
Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a weizen glass.
The appearance was a yellow color with a slight transparency about it, uh no normal cloudiness of a hefe...hmmm... we’ll okay. Luckily, the head makes up for the color as there’s a good soft fluffy white foamy two and a half fingers worth.
The smell was grainy and rustic with an aroma of corn sweetened cereal and an added funk not normal to hefeweizens.
The taste was mostly an off funky and tart sweet with the odd sweet corn/cereal thing again.
On the palate, this one sat fairly light for the most part, but because of that flavoring, I didn’t find this one too sessionable.
Overall, bad sixer or just bad beer, I really don’t see myself having this again.
From can. Spicy herbal aroma and a little wheat. Hazy yellow amber with thin head. Medium body with medium-high carbonation, fizzy. Starts with mild citrus, wheat tang, and light sweet character. Dull Hefe with light tart finish and after. Note of corn.
Slight wheat aroma, with a touch of butter. Pours a light hazy straw with a thin quickly fading white head. Light wheat flavor, with a slightly tart finish. Very light bodied and easy drinking. Middle of the road beer, nothing exceptional about it.
Can- heinnieweisse weissebier. This is good. Very carbonated. Smooth buttery German characteristics...overall a must try.
pale, clear, minimal head, medium sweetness, light body, average carbonation, long finish, astringent.
Had a strong berry taste, maybe raspberry, and a long-lasting sweet, astringent finish. Not bad at all, but I don’t know that I’d want to drink too many in a row. I expected it to be cloudier but it seemed pretty clear to me.
Can sample at a tasting at Tempo. Thanks Ariel. Pours pale yellow with a nice head, aroma of hops, plastic, floral tones, flavor of flowers, smoke , refreshing and tasty, medium bodied
Can. Pours cloudy yellow with white head. Nose and taste of wheat, sweet corn, banana, grass, lemon and esters. Light bodied.
Can sample at a tasting at Tempo. Thanks Ariel. Cloudy greenish gold and headless. Yeasty bitter aroma and dried banana. Dried banana in the mouth as well, and yeasty bitterness. Light body, watery, delicate fizz.
Can sample at a tasting at Tempo. Thanks Ariel. Cloudy yellow with a white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma with banana, bread and a bit of spiciness. Sweetish and fruity flavor with banana, apple, citric notes, bubblegum, a touch of tartness and a bit of yeasty spiciness. Light-bodied. OK.
Poured straw with a frothy but dense white head. Aroma of sweet grainy malt. Medium creamy body, flavour of muted sweet orange, minimal aftertaste.
The beer pours decently with a nice hazy golden straw color, a nice white head, and some lacing on the glass. The beer smells decently with a nice yeasty, whet scent up front followed by a lemon zest smell on the back end. The tastes is average as the has a mild lemon zest taste up front with a wheat finish. The mouthfeel is average as the beer is decently carbonated, light bodied, and leaves you mild bitter. Overall, it was an okay farmhouse ale, nothing special though.
12 oz can pours golden with a white head. Aroma of yeast, malts and fruit. Taste is bread, citrus and sweet malts.
