Comments
A hoppy hefe for Christmas
Victory's Christmas Cheer is a hefeweizen that is dolled up in festive decorations. If I'm kind, I say that it was a bright corn, but I think highlighter yellow is more accurate. It had a foamy multi-finger thick white head that took a little while to disappear. Not much lacing, either.
I get a lot of banana and ginger when I smell with a bit of grassy hops. The hops are stronger when I taste it with lots of grass with some banana and butter. The ample carbonation provides some heft to the mouthfeel.
