Sierra Nevada Kellerweis

The last of a sixer of this, and I have to say that this did not suck. In fact, it was a good running mate for Sierra Nevada's Summerfest for my Hot & Sweaty After-Work Libation of Choice Award!

Now, it could be more banana & clovey, true. But I'd rather have a rather muted Hefe yeast than the 999 variants of boring-as-hell Widmer clones that every single brewpub offers as their "{so-and-so} Wheat".

Comments re: a tad bit of saltiness aren't out of line IMO. In fact, this did remind me a little (er, very little) of why I like Goses.

Perhaps a little on the sweet side of things. Or, rather, there's not quite enough attenuation and/or hop profile to keep this from straying to the sweet side of the spectrum. But it's surely not cloying, and overall, it's very quaffable, indeed.

I have a hard time going all-out praising an American Hefe -- yes, even when it does a bang-up job like this. But still, a rock-solid beer.
