Day #23- Flying Dog's In- Heat Hefeweizen

I've had a request from a die-hard fan to talk about good beers to drink in the summer. I don't have time in this post to write in-depth about great summer beers, but I promise, I will have a note amidst the reviews about seasonal beers.

In any case, Hefeweizens are a great beer to drink in Nashville's awfully nasty summer heat. But don't buy Flying Dog.

This Hefeweizen is flat, tastes like most Hefs at its core, but dies immediately. I understand what "light" tastes like, and I also understand what "dead" tastes like. Flying Dog's Hef is dead from almost the start.

I really don't have much else to say about this beer. Try any other Hef, at least if you don't like them they are trying harder than Flying Dog.

Brett's ratings are out of 100.

*Please understand that ratings on this scale have been influenced by my scholastic history of grading. A grade below 75 is not good, it is less than average. A beer below 60 is bad. Beers in the 90s are in the upper-echelon of beers on this earth, and above 95- divinely inspired.*

As with all connoisseurs, personal taste affects all ratings. The best ratings tend to lean towards his two different biases; 1) Well-crafted heavy Stouts and 2) Lagers made with a simple perfection.

Please understand that just because Brett gives a beer a high rating doesn't mean you may think it is good. Only understand that if he gives it a high rating it is because most people who have a good taste in beer would do the same.
