Kristine and I ventured to Gordon Biersch at Aloha Tower Marketplace after I saw on their Instagram that this year’s Hefeweizen was released.  We sat at the bar, had a friendly bartender, and relaxed after a busy PokeFest.  Gordon Biersch is one of those places that I didn’t fully appreciate until lately: it’s perfectly located on the harbor, has the benefit of a sea breeze coming through, and has cozy lighting with live music.  The beer is cheap and no-nonsense.  It was nice to meet and talk to the goateed general manager Joe Glarner. All the staff here are friendly, it’s great to drop in and try the new stuff. Be sure to check them out on Taplister for the newest brews.

Aroma of banana, very light flavor of cloves and spices, light citrus, refreshingly flavored for summer.
