587. Tangled Roots Brewing Company (Ottawa, IL) - Bison Weizen

“A dark wheat beer with banana and clove flavors similar to the Vermillion River Weiss with some caramel flavors from the darker malts. $1 from every Bison Weizen sold in the brewery goes to the IDNR to help take care of the buffalo at Buffalo Rock State Park.”

And we saw those buffalo when we stopped at Buffalo Rock State Park on our trip to Illinois a couple of weeks ago. (Well, we saw one of them, anyway.) Which is neither here nor there, but being in that part of Illinois is how I managed to get hold of both this and the Kit Kupfer Amber. I don’t have much experience with Dunkelweizens, but this one seems…fine? Tastes more like a Hefeweizen than anything else, even if it is a little bit darker. The banana comes up a bit on the back end, and it’s fine; not great, but fine.
