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.

Bottle brought back from Wisconsin. Pours yellow gold with a nice rocky white head that lasts and plenty of bubble trails. Aroma and taste of banana, clove, and orange. Clear and assertive. I can see why it’s rated highly for this style- wish I had a few more.

The pour is lightly hazed straw yellow with a fizzy white head. I’m billing this one a bit more agressive version of Gumball Head. Big hop aroma. Big hop flavor. Plenty bitter. Prickly, sprite carbonation. Hell, its almost like putting a cactus in your mouth. Pretty good stuff.

Quality stuff. Balance, nice body. Flavorful, banana, some spice. A hint of lemony citrus and some wheat and yeast.

Pours cloudy yellow. Aromas of citrusy hops with a slight underpinning of banana. Flavor of citrus and banana. Finishes dry with a slight bitterness. Unique and tasty.
