Commercial Description:
This is Dan’s bold creation. You hold the international marriage of a sophisticated Bavarian Hefeweiss and an assertive American Pale Ale. Amarillo dry hopping drives Wisconsin Red Wheat. Traditional open top fermentation cultivates our proprietary Bavarian Weiss yeast in our own Wheat Beer Cellars. Absolutely 100% natural bottle conditioned. This is a living beer. Expect to pour a thick creamy head into your glass. Savor the fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon, and citrus nose. Our very popular Imperial Weizen ratchets down for the session. Drink to adventure and friends in Wisconsin. We are the state of beer.

Beautiful hazy yellow with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is wheat, a little bit of hops, just a touch of banana, Flavor is crisp, clean, perfect balance of wheat and malt and hops. Very nice wheat.

Sample at the brewery. Dark hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Sweet spices, clove, cinnamon and a touch of citrus. Banana flavor, more sweet spiciness, first sip just screamed at me, big wow factor, very good.

Pours to a lively golden amber body with a giant foamy white head and sexy lacing. Lots of visible carbonation. The aroma is wheaty with some nice graham and sprouted wheat. Nice light earthy/clove yeast. Subtle lemon. The flavor is strong wheat cereals, light tart lemons, graham crackers. Super mouthwatering feel that has a lingering wheat flavor. Medium bodied but crisp flavors.

Bottle thanks to CanIHave4Beers. Thanks, Andy! Beautiful pour; exactly what a wheat beer should look like. Hazy gold with huge white head. Big banana and clove nose on this, as well as lemon and wheat. A bit more malt than most? Slight pepper. Lovely soft palate. Immensely enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is of hops, citrus, spice, wheat, pepper, and yeast. Taste starts off with a dry hop character and lots of citrus. Backbone of bready malt. A decent amount of spice, wheat, and yeast in the beer as well. Has a slight peppery taste to it. There is a lot of grass to this beer underneath all the cittrus and malt. Each sip finishes with a lot of citrus and wheat. Lingering taste of spicy citrus. Mouthfeel is light and very carbonated. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Another tasty brew from New Glarus.

12 oz bottle from secret santa. Thanks Rudy. Pours a cloudy dark yellow with a big white head that as good retention and sticky lacing. The aroma is moderately strong with classic wheat notes of white fruits, light citrus and some funky yeast. The flavor is pretty robust for a wheat beer, this has a grainy-earthy flavor with complex fruits, spices, bubblegum, dough and yeast. The mouthfeel is full and malty with soft carbonation. The finish is long with lingering citrus and some bubblegum. Overall: Wow, what a great little wheat ale, well done New Glarus.

Bottle thanks to emerge077. Cloudy amber with small to medium, creamy, white head. Aroma is nice and hoppy with bubblegum, cloves, nice spice, yeast, off-dry. Flavor is sweeter wheat, bubblegum, pretty big citrus, nice. Medium body and creamy. Really great.
