Yazoo Hefeweizen

When it comes to trying something new, I jump in head first. I support local and regional businesses. So, when I found out my local grocery store started carrying a regionally produced beer I was game. Yazoo was started by two Mississippi transplants who weren't happy with fixing tires and decided to take that next step make beer.

First of all, the appearance is a little unique as in it is suprisingly clearer for a hefeweizen. The nose is typical of this kind of beer with banana and clove coming through. With the first taste the banana and clove are the immediate flavors that rush through. Unlike other Hefewiezens, it has a little more aggresive spiciness to it which compliments it very well. It finishes with a slight bitterness and a little tart. All in all, not a bad interpretation.
