Starr Hill The Love

Jon enjoying some Love

Why I tried this: Jeff and I were at World of Beer the day the Starr Hill Brewery guys showed up. However, we didn't get a chance to stay and talk to them because we had to leave early. We decided the next time we went to WoB we would try some of their beer. We sampled all three WoB had and decided to start with a hefeweisen that goes by the name of "The Love".

Smell: yeasty/wheat smell with some citrus scent. A nice refreshing scent.

Taste: This beer has a very smooth well rounded flavor. None of the flavors are overpowering and it makes for this beer to be very enjoyable. Wheat and sweet deep dough flavor up front that slides into a citrusy finish.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this beer an 8. This beer smells great and tastes very refreshing. All of the flavors make this beer very well rounded and nothing is really overpowering. The only thing I would actually of liked in this beer is a stronger flavor. This would be a nice refreshing beer to drink on a hot day or something to relax with.

Had the beer as well, and wasn't quite as impressed with it as Jon. The smell was your typical wheat with a hint of orange peel and possibly banana, with the taste not differentiating much from the smell. I agree it was refreshing and drinkable, but oddly it felt a bit flat and just had weak mouth feel. Could probably do with having a slightly bolder taste. I'd probably give it a 7/10.
