533. Moontown Brewing Company (Whitestown, IN) - Hefczkowski

“A traditional unfiltered Bavarian style wheat beer brewed with malted German wheat, featuring subtle fruity yeast-derived notes of banana and spicy clove.”

I’ve never been big on the Hefeweizen style, and I’m still not sure I’m a believer—but the Banana Nut Bread Hefeweizen they tapped out of recently at Kismetic was so good that I am now willing to consider the style. This one is light and, indeed, subtle, with just hints of banana, and a spice that very well could be clove, but which doesn’t bowl me over with its presence. (I have never been big on clove at all, in any application—beer-related or otherwise.) This beer isn’t nearly as good as their Brown County mash-up, but between this and the two Hefeweizens I’ve had at Kismetic, I’m coming around to this style in a big hurry.
