Classic Haze is Slow Lane's classic hefeweizen, one that has birthed a few variants since its debut. Hefes are another in the litany of bizarrely under-appreciated styles in Australia so it’s always good to see a local one. They're yeast-driven wheat ales most notably known for the big banana and bubblegum esters produced by the yeast during fermentation.
Classic Haze pours with a huge, fluffy head that crumbles away. All the classic hits are here: banana, cloves and every now and then a big old whiff of bubblegum. The malt comes across as a sort of vanilla sponge cake that’s perceptively sweet but balanced by bitterness and spicy phenols.
Ja, das ist gut.
