I think I need to share this beer with you. I mean, not physically - sorry, but I need to tell you about this brew. It's called Hacker-Phschorr and the type is Hefe Weisse. Damn, this stuff is so good!
The first time I had it was at Smokeless Joe's in Toronto. If you love beer and you haven't been, you need to go.
Here's a review of the beer from the Beer Advocate that really sums it up:
Appearance - Pours a nice golden orange color with a fluffy cloudlike head that hangs around for awhile. Some lacing is present.
Smell - It has some spiciness to it and some yeast, but the wheat and banana are the stars here ladies and gentlemen.
Taste - Big banana flavor with some wheat as well. Some bubblegum makes itself known and right at the end of the experience there is a subtle, smooth, sweet, creaminess that is a little hard to describe, but it's there.
Mouthfeel - A little thin with plenty of carbonation. The carbonation isn't overpowering though.
Overall - I really haven't experienced enough of the German Hefe-Weizens to really compare this one to, but if this is a prelude of what is to come, then I'm pumped. A tasty little Hefe, which will be revisited many times. Prost!!
Just thought I'd share this little jem with ya.
