Commercial Description:
Hefe-Malz is an interesting, unique, hybrid-style with the smooth drinkability of Legend Lager with the complexity of an unfiltered wheat beer. Made with 100% pale malted barley and fermented relatively cool on an authentic fruity, spicy German hefeweizen yeast. It is left unfiltered and has firm body with a smooth and appealing taste.

Pretty cool experiment, one that I had always wondered about trying as a homebrewer but never got around to. Medium yellow, slight haze, fizzy dying head. Aroma of cloves, touch of herbs. Flavor is very spicy, cloves, banana, bubblegum. Full bodied too, but this is a yeast show here. Interesting and good.

A very tasty beer with a smooth and sweet flavor. One of the best I have had from legends.

Pours amber with a vey small white head. Nose is very hefeweizen like. There is a strong aroma of banana, yeast and lighter spices. Almost smells like an Aventinus, to me. The taste is very much like the aroma. More banana and extra fruit, some spices, and yeast. There's a slight taste of grains as well. Nice twist on a standard hefeweizen. Very smooth body and pleasant finish. Kudos to Legend!
