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.

an amazingly great wheat. Full frothy pour with an off yellow color. A lightly sweet flavor with hints of clove. Full well coated palate. Delicious.

Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Hazy slightly dark straw color color. Light peppery aroma, some phenols present, but lift up the spicy character. Taste follows suit, light lemon-like notes present. Very light, layered, and satisfying.

Interesting beer that tastes like a cross between a wheat beer with an IPA or similar. Pours a lovely golden color with little to no head (as opposed to the "thick creamy" head promised on the bottle). Aroma contains notes of citrus and cloves, hops, etc. Flavor is very complex, with a hint of hefeweizen with the IPA in the background, waiting for the finish. Not sure this is entirely a successful marriage of styles, but it certainly is interesting and worth a try.

12oz bottle from Woodman’s in Madison. Pours cloudy golden with white head. Aroma is wheat, banana, lemon and spice. Flavor is loaded with wheat, banana, spices and very light citrus. Extreamly flavorfull for a wheat ale. Not my favorite style with all the clove and banana but this about as good as you can make this style of ale.

Bottle courtesy of hellbilly. Pours a cloudy gold color with a big thick head that lasts. Big wheat, yeast, banana and spice aromas. All of the above in the flavor as well along with a touch of hops on the finish. Smooth creamy palate. A mighty tasty wheat brew!

12 oz. bottle courtesy of the Bockyhorsey’s - Pours a cloudy light golden color with a huge 3 finger thick off white head. Thick lacing. Aroma is banana and spice (duh). Flavor has a bit of malt sweetness, and esters and spice. Very smooth. Medium body. A very nice German Hefe. Thanks Bill and Wendy.

Thanks KI9A. A big white soapy head sits atop a golden cloudy beer. There are semi opaque clouds that slowly drift down. As big an aroma of coriander and clove as I have encountered. There are also floral hops. Delightful. The taste is a tart hefe offering flavors such as banana, bubble gum, and coriander along with citrus and floral hop effects. It is somewhat bitter. Spices from both combine very nicely to form a distinct drinking experience.
