Commercial Description:
We leave the yeast in our authentic Bavarian-style wheat beer to give it a cloudy appearance and creamy texture. This spicy, fruity beer has hints of clove and banana and is crafted for easy drinking.

Bottle. Pours with a yellow hue that sits below a white head that is mostly diminishing. Aroma is of lots of wheat, yeast, and lots of white bread! Watery taste at first that transforms into a wheatey and bready end flavor. Light mouthfeel with lively carbonation

Bottle. Pours with a huge, light lasting, perfectly white head. Hazy yellow body hidden underneath. Aroma of banana esters, caramel, vanilla and very light clove. Taste is very light in general, a bit watery with banana, caramel, CO2, and light spice. Very fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Has a wheat grain aroma with a hop smell of lemon. Pours a hazy wheat color with a lemon hue, frothy white head and lots of action. Nice crisp taste of wheat with lemon/lime flavored hops. Light bodied, some butter and resin feel, with lively crisp carbonation. A session craft brewed Hefewiezen that is refreshing.

From a 12 oz bottle this poured a cloudy gold, with a very large and long lasting white head that left good lacing. Nose of citrus hops with banana. Very smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is banana and citrus, with some clove. Very refreshing and easy to drink
