Commercial Description:
The grain bill for this beer is big, and it calls for over 60% wheat malt. The Wheat malt also helps to contribute to the whiteness of this beer. The high gravity of this beer combined with the suspended yeast give it a luscious, nectar-like mouthfeel. The Yeast are essential to the beer, as they give it characteristic fruity tones such as Clove, Banana, Vanilla, and Bubblegum.

( 12oz bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours cloudy pale yellow. Nose of spices, banana. Taste needs a lot of sweetness, some grains, dry but well carbonated. No evidence of a hefeweizen here.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Labeled as Millstream’s "Hefe-r-Weissen". Pours with a small white head over a hazy golden body. Aroma of styrofoam, lemon, clove and plastic. Taste is honey, wheat, lemon and vanilla. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel.

Bottle thanks to Bu11zeye. Labeled as "Hefe R Weissen Ale". Pours a cloudy light yellow with white head. Aroma of some banana, orange, wheat. Flavor much the same, seemed a little yeasty "bread" but I like that. Mouth feel is a soft, light body with medium-high carbonation. Overall, I thought it was a decent hefe...

Bottle labeled Hefe"R"weissen, I am guessing htis is the same beer though. Pours milky honey gold with a 2 finger creamy off white head that has great retention and leaves sparse lacing. Aroma is lots of wheat, lemon, clove, bubblegum, banana, light yeasty bread dough and just a hint of grainy malt. Flavor is wheat, lemon, clove, light dried grain, some grass, a little banana, some light bready yeast notes and some nice crisp mineral notes. Finish is banana, spice, a little bubblegum and wet limestone. Palate is light to medium body with a slightly chalky feel throughout. This is actually a pretty good hefe, better than I remembered it being. Great summer brew, not as clinging to the palate as many hefes are.

Sample at the Millstream Brewhaus in Eastern Iowa airport. The beer is a hazy yellow-gold color with a medium thin bone white head that dissipates steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bananas and wheat. Light and clean body with flavors of wheat, banana and mild spices. The finish is wheaty with a mild fruit aftertaste. Run-of-the-mill Hefe overall.
