Maybe only scaling it back on draft. I must have misread this post a few months ago as I thought it was the cans. I've never really seen it on draft though.

Anyway, I found this a touch drier, more bitter, less banana-y and it had much better head retention than before. Which is to say, it had head retention.
Overall I notice minor differences for the better. I picked up a can of Muskoka hefe yesterday in order to do a side-by-side comparison just to be sure though.
While this rebranding might be a bit of a misstep, I actual like the direction Muskoka is taking and will pick up a few more bottles of this in two months when it's actually summer. It's a nice one to share with my girlfriend.

You guys just made the beer sound like its been tweaked for the worse.

The least amount of banana in my Hefeweizen the better.strowlands8 wrote:The Banana flavours come from esters, I believe.
I get what you mean. A friendly point of debate: I always think it's more about the balance and/or dominance of flavors in a beverage than the 'amount' of any one flavor. A strong sweet banana note may be cloying out there all on its own, but if (for your or my taste) there's a nice countering lemon citrus and the right amount of clove vanilla and bubblegum the same 'amount' of banana flavor might be less apparent and way more appealing in the balance.Blankboy wrote:The least amount of banana in my Hefeweizen the better.strowlands8 wrote:The Banana flavours come from esters, I believe.
