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.

Pours golden with plenty of white head. Fruity notes are present as soon as it’s poured. Some banana, and apple and lemon. Full creamy palate. Flavor is banana and some yeast. This is a very good one.

12 oz bottle acquired via trade. Poured out a hazy yellow with a gigantic cap of white foam. Seriously, my initial pour was pretty much only foam. Aroma was clove, banana, pepper, and citrus fruits. Flavor was much the same, up front it was all the things you’d expect from a German hef and behind that there was a nice citrus hop kick. Very interesting take on the style, and I would enjoy having another of these someday.

Found this a bit of a head-scratcher - APA meets hefe. It’s certainly drinkable but if it didn’t exist I wouldn’t bother inventing it. Summer fruits dominate - peach, apricot and hefe banana with some clove spice in the finish. Bit soapy and indistinct in the mid-palate. Refreshing but a bit of a novelty IMO. Much preferred their Dancing Man. (Bottle courtesy of Oslo - thanks buddy - at the Milson Point park session September 09)

Cloudy wheat with good hop aroma. Sweet and estery with hoppy background. Nice hybrid, but not my style.

Pours a cloudy golden orange with a large soapy white head. A mix of small and large bubbles rush rapidly to the surface. Lots of clove and yeast on the nose. Also, some banana, light floral hops and some sort of candy or fruit. Thick flavor of banana, clove, spice, some hops citrus, and bubblegum. Nice crisp, clean lightly bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel. with some abundant carbonation. Very nice.

Bottle at Papsø. Cloudy yellow coloured with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of bananas, spices and hops with notes of grape fruits. Fruity favour of bananas, spices and hops with notes of grape fruits. Hoppy finish.
