So I tried my first Heff today, it was Weihenstephaner Heff Weissbier. The smell at first was as promoted. It smelled like bananas. However, I also noticed an after taste I could not put my finger on. Then I realized that it tasted almost like an ashtray. (YES!!! I accidentally drank a beer I was ashing into when I use to smoke, it was gross!) My question is, did I just get an old batch or do all Heffs have this after taste. The bottles did seem to have SOME dust on them and I'm not sure how long they were sitting at my local liquor store. I did like the banana taste and would prefer to drink, as well as brew this beer if it did not have the ashtray after taste. Does anyone have any experience with Heffs that could offer me their input or opinion? Maybe I was tasting the cloves?
