This is interesting. Juicy like that sort of IPA, except it's not really very bitter.
Draft
Somewhat sweet and tacky. A little brackish, a little grassy, but would have liked this to be more crisp.
Draft
I thought this was pretty clear. Or is a bit sweet but has the underlying flavor of a good Czech pils.
Draft
Thick and red, fairly bitter but then you notice a strong malt flavor.
Draft
This is actually really good, and I don't like IPAs. Of course, it's not super bitter, and trends towards what I think of "juicy IPA". I'm sure it's just mild and mass market, so a true IPA aficionado wouldn't like it.
Draft
Very fruity, like orange juice. But then there is this powerful bitterness underlying everything.
Bottle
Sweet, but some weird fruit like flavors.
Can
It's fine, sorry if pilsner-like.
Bottle
Sparkly on the tongue. More spice than fruit/banana. There's actually a nice but of bitterness contrasting the hefe flavor. Nice
Bottle
Not bad. Fairly mild, a little brackish but with hints of sharp juice.
Can
Bitter, slightly tart, little more like a barleywine than a sour.
