Commercial Description:
Here’s a curveball for all you Hefeweizen fans. This light bodied American style wheat ale uses over 50% wheat malt like the Hefeweizen, with a hint of Vienna malt for complexity. Instead of using German Hefeweizen yeast, we fermented this beer with our house ale yeast to give it a more restrained yeast character. We also dry-hopped this beer with American Chinook hops.
