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.

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.

Pours clear and golden with a large soapy white head. The aroma has lots of banana and cloves along with spicy fruity hops and creamy wheat. Medium body that is somewhat crisp with sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with spicy and citrusy hops that are followed by cinnamon and cloves notes along with smooth wheat that almost comes across as bubblegum. The esters are not over the top. The finish is more wheaty making an even balance between the malt and hops. Very nice beer from New Glarus once again.

From a 12 oz bottle obtained in a trade with Erik of Indiana, this poured a cloudy golden color with a nice white head and light lacing. Nose is malts and coriander. Light mouthfeel. Flavor is of banana and oranges, with a light dry finish. Good for its type.
