Notes:
Upon opening at Dave's wedding I wasn't too impressed. Nothing special about this hefeweizen though it was drinkable. Opened again at Dark Lord Day 2009 and I found it very drinkable with the strawberry and vanilla flavors easily apparent. It's become clear that our beers really come into their own given time to age. -Holly
