Vancouver’s Granville Island Brewing has, in it’s Under the Bridge Series, the Hey Day Hefeweizen.
Not super cloudy, I can see shapes on the otherside but it is cloudy enough that I feel like it is a Hefeweizen. It is a pleasant orange-gold colour with a startlingly white head.
There is a nice grassy aroma from the beer, a little bit of hay and a hint of banana. A little bit of spice comes out if you swirl the beer.
Banana is at the forefront of the flavours up against a dryness that makes the banana nice rather than cloying. There are some nice clove and allspice notes underneath the main flavour. The carbonation is a bit prickly, you can feel it going down in a satisfying way.
