Commercial Description:
Bavarian Style Wheat Beer. This beer has a large popularity in particular in southern Germany. Using an original German yeast strain in the brewing process contributes to the natural fruity flavor of Banana, Orange and Cloves, giving it a outstanding refreshing taste. Our Wheat Beer comes unfiltered leaving all the natural goodness in it.

May be one of the best American Hefe’s that I have ever had. Very well done. There is a bit of the same sweetness that the Lager had, but much more restrained and much better placed. Good lacing and wonderful spice.

On tap at the Old Monk in Dallas. Nice hazy yellow pour with a small white head. Nose of bananas, fruit, spices, yeast and wheat. Full body and flavoring-need I say it comes close to Live Oak??? Very nice beer and one of the best domestic hefe’s I’ve had.

Pale golden color. Aroma of yeast and malts. Flavor of grain with nice muted spiciness and some clove. Decent beer for the metroplex!

murky yellow pour with a ring of white froth. yeast on the nose but not much of anything else. easy on the palate with a nice clove flavor that wasn’t too overpowering.

On Tap. Pours with a hazy ornage body. Smallish, thick off-white head. Aroma of banana esters, clove, vanilla and some vinegar. Taste is vanilla, banana and some caramel. Syrupy full mouthfeel with light carbonation. Solid hefe.
