Pete gave me a bottle of his hefeweizen the last time he was over here back in October and I finally got around to drinking it. Luckily it's been in the refrigerator since he left it here (I mean since he gave it to me...) so I figured it would have held up pretty well and I was correct as it was quite good.
Great banana aroma to it. I'm guessing he used some sort of German yeast to get that as it's a basic aroma in that style. First sip followed with bananas, some sweetness and a sugary ending. Flavors continue in the same basic form throughout the rest of it. Pete had told me he wasn't that impressed with it, but either 3 more months in the bottle made it much better or he's minimizing his skill. Very tasty and seemingly representative of the style. Nice job Pete.
