Beer Friday. Whiteclaw Brewing, Tomorrow We Ride Hefeweizen

Welcome back to Beer Friday properly done on an actual Friday but not a post work Friday as some sort of insane bout of insomnia hit and I was up all night. More nightshift flashbacks? It doesn't make sense although the week has been a bad one for sleep wich screwed up some potentially great rides.  Anyways, I still feel like a bag of assholes so let's get to this beer review already.

This Hefeweizen was picked appropriately as tomorrow we hope to resume operations that require pedalling. It could be the first night ride of the season so we will see. 

Yikes! I think everytime I made ride plans on beer reviews they never come to fruition.  

Right from Golden, British Columbia we have Whiteclaw Brewing which was established in Twenty Sixteen and have the honour of living and brewing beers in the middle of the mountains. Ahh yes, finding some sort of niche in a cool mountain town and living there would be pretty great.

We poured and a beautiful dark and dirty beer filled in the Bubba Gump beer mug . It had a strong smell of wheat cause you know... Hefeweizen and a one fingered head lingered for very little and disappeared like an octopus. A small pool of light lacing stayed on top for the duration. 

This was the perfect beer to set the mood right. It was refreshing with a sour kick to it, this beer also gave me a sense of Crabapple mixed in with a little bit of Granny Smith but definitely Crabapple in the sour notes. It has a sticky feel to it in a way which is hard to explain. It's like it sticks to the sides of your mouth and hangs out for a while in a very good way of course. 

The fine taste of this one seems to hang on to the palate which ups my love for this Hefeweizen. Whiteclaw hit it out of the park on this one.

This beer gets 4.5 suds out of 5. 

Happy Wednesday
