Beer of the Week

The beer: Gneiss Weiss

Brewed by: Gneiss Brewing Company, Limerick, Maine

Description (from the can): Gneiss Weiss is our take on a classic German hefeweizen. Soft, clean, and crisp with ester-produced of banana (isoamyl acetate). Very restrained phenolic presence. Cascade hops provide a somewhat nontraditional lemon/citrus finish. Pairs well with delicate and robust food alike."

Would I buy it again?: I love the name, but unfortunately the beer is just not great. Sure, the tasting notes on the can say all these fancy things, but the reality is that I just didn't taste any of it. This felt more like a homebrew, if I'm being honest, particularly when it came to the lack of a full head. It's not awful; it's certainly drinkable, but there are so many better hefeweizens out there.
