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.

Homerun! I love the extra hops that this wheaty beer holds. I think this beer is really drinkable and able to drink with anything.

12-oz. Thanks, Pantanap! Cloudy bright orangeish amber. Dense, creamy gray head. Big orange and sweet brown wheat nose. Highly effervescent body--tons of carbonation, sweet oranges, and wheat on the mid-palate. Nice cottony, puffy carbonationwith a good -bitter hop contrast note at the finish. Beautifully conceived and executed.

Aroma is banana-pineapple, cotton, tropical fruit, wheaty, and yeasty. Interesting. Taste is banana, lots of fruit, tropical and pineapple-orange. Finish is sweet, slightly bitter, and wheaty. Great. The hops and the malt and the yeast... I mean wow talk about a fantastic blend of esters, citrus hops, and wheat malt.

Bottle

Pours a hazy gold with a nice white head. Interesting brew. Lovely sour-sweet witbier aroma; surprisingly dry flavor catches me off guard at first but it’s really quite workable. This is simply not a style that I’m particularly into, and yet I quite like this particular beer, which says a lot. Hops mixing with those wit spices on the closeout; I do prefer it session style over the various imperial wheats that I’ve had.

Bottle. Slightly hazy straw yellow pour, medium carbonation and a nice sweet apricot aroma. Flavor is plenty of banana initially, followed by pepper and an apricot aftertaste. Very very good, I’ll have to take another road trip across the border soon!

Ohhhh, I loooovvvvve being in Wisconsin! Cutting edge brew. This is the stuff right here, right now. Yummmmm. Had a few other hoppy hefe weisse styles, but they never seem to find the sweet spot. This one is spot on. Very fresh which works so good for the hefe weizen and the volatile hops. Perfect balance. Proly should even give this a better rating than I have. Getting old I guess. Can drink this at any rate I want and it’ll be good. Big textured white head and lace. Hazy amber color. Bavarian hefe weizen hoppy nose. Flavors are like that. Very drinkable. Excellent body. The Germans should be afraid, very afraid. Session beer extraordinaire. I’m in a state of bliss.
