Day 157: Leavenworth Whistling Pig



Name: Leavenworth Whistling Pig
Brewer: Fish Brewing Company (Olympia, WA)
Classification: Hefeweizen
Alcohol: 4%

Thoughts: This hefeweizen pours a clouded, orange-gold body with a short, foamy near-white head. This beer has a somewhat weak nose. It smells only lightly of bready wheat, stagnant citrus juice, and a weak, weak hint of phenols. The taste has some wheat and and even less grain. It is a bit coarse and has some husky bitterness. In fact, this one is over-bitter for a hefeweizen. The finish is fairly clean and is possibly the saving grace of this beer. However, I'm looking for more and just not getting it. In all honesty I wouldn't recommend this and I will not be having this brew again. There are better hefeweizens and better ways to spend my time.

Rating: 67/100
