#252 Left Hand - Haystack Wheat

This is the last Left Hand beer I have right now. So far I've found Left Hand to be a fine brewery making beers that can be enjoyed everyday. Always well balanced and not over the top with flavor.

This beer has a spicy clove aroma with some banana esters, very Belgian like characteristics. The color is a light brown with a ton of sediment floating around. There is not much head, which is surprising for a wheat beer.

The taste is starts with some tart citrus flavors and banana esters. There is plenty of spicy clove and coriander flavors in this wheat beer. Some malty grain notes are also coming through. The mouthfeel is full and smooth with effervescent carbonation. This beer finishes dry with lemon notes.

This is a fine example of a wheat beer. Nice banana flavors with some spice and very drinkable.
