Oggi's - Sweet Spot Hefe


Look: Orangish-yellow, like watered-down orange juice with almost no head

Taste: Sweet initially with a hint of cloves. Mix of fruity and spiced flavors

Conclusion: Do I like trying new beers? Yes, but occasionally I run across a waste of space like this one. The mouthfeel was akin to a Hefeweizen but the flavor....BLEHH!!! My buddy and I couldn't figure out what the hell it was that tasted so bad until we checked the description of it. Apparently they brew this sick little puppy with cloves and bananas?!?!

Okay, I'm all for experimenting and creating new and exotic beers but if you brew something wouldn't you taste it before serving it to the innocent masses? I guess not. Simply put, this one was triggering my gag reflex. I couldn't even finish the small tester. Puke-orama!

2 Brews!

I can attest to the wrongness of this beer. Cloves? Really? Dont you cook hams with those things? And bananas... who mixes those two in a beer? Seriously?!
I squirted a wedge of lemon into mine to see if it will cut the wrongness of it... no such luck. Not even the hand of Herbert could save this beer.
