Faux Pas

Faux Pas by Griffin Claw Brewing Company

Honestly, I purchased this one for the can. I did not even look at style or price. At $4.99 this one was a little more expensive than I thought it would be, but it was totally worth it.

What we have here is an interesting beer, a hazy hoppy Hefeweizen that has loads of fruity notes and forward hoppy IPA and subtle hef characteristics.

As Untappd states, “the traditional heffinwizer calls for tones of banana and clove. This hef defies that standard. As a true faux pas-this hef was hit with a hard dose of hops and Iin turn this hef is a true hazy hef/IPA hybrid”.

Faux Pas goes down smoothly even at 8.5% ABV and 95 IBU. I was picking up loads of fruity flavors like lemon, grapefruit and banana. There were floral and some peppery notes that all finished with some hoppy bitterness.

I rated this a 4/5 on Untappd while overall it is 3.64/5. My friends rated it low, but I could see how some people might not like this fusion of styles.

Overall, I was pleased with my purchase and can’t wait to try some more Griffin Claw beers.
