Commercial Description:
Our Hefeweizen is 45% malted wheat, and 55% barley malt. Much of the character of this beer comes from its unique yeast, which is not filtered out, so it tends to leave the beer cloudy. The wheat portion of this ale creates a light, crisp, dry brew perfect for drinking on a hot day. The beer is lightly hopped with Saaz, but the aroma and most of the flavor of this beer come from the wheat beer yeast. Beer Geek Stuff: Original gravity: 11.8„a Plato, final gravity 2.0„a P Lightly hopped with Mt. Hood and Saaz. Hazy white-yellow colored served unfiltered and cloudy. Brewed with 55% Vienna malt and 45% wheat malt. Fermented with authentic German wheat beer ale yeast.

Draft... ODBF2006... Cloudy, yellow ale with a small, frothy, white head. Citrusy nose with soft notes of banana, clove, smoke and green apple. Ripe banana, citrus fruit and clove in the flavor. Medium-bodied and creamy with fizzy carbonation. Crisp, clean finish. Not a favorite style of mine, but refreshing on a hot, humid day!

Bottle sampled in May 2006 thanks to Numenor: Pours a hazy golden yellow with a thin wispy white head. Aroma of sweet malted wheat, banana and mild buttery toast with a hint of lemony tartness. Body starts lightly sweet and slightly toasty with good peppery clove and mild citrus balance. Fairly authentic and very drinkable.

Draft at Greenleafe Tavern. Hazy gold pour with off-white head. The aroma had hopcitrus and some banana and clovey notes. Smooth palate, with flavors of malt matched with spicy hops and banana. Decent complexity.
