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.

My favorite beer! Nice hop aroma with some maltiness. Copper-ish color, clear. thick creamy head. Wow, the Amarillo hops! I don’t detect the clove and cinnamon, but the flovar is awesome. Medium bodied, moderate bitter finish.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a nice amount of white head. Spicey citrus aroma to it. Has a bit of a spicey bitter taste to it. Little citrus flavor there but more bitter than would of liked

In the bottle thanks to Phil D. This pours a cloudy pale yellow with a fairly good head. The citrus aroma emerges with solid hop scents. Lots of lemon and citrus flavors as well. This could best be described as a poor man’s Hopfenweiss.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Really sweet and big phenols and banana. I would have liked it a bit less sweet, but not bad.

Bottle. Aroma of gentle (appropriately so) clove, strong wheat, and assertive citrus and tropical fruit character. Flavor continues to be a great balance of exactly what the commercial description would lead you to believe, a great, balanced wheat with the addition of still-balanced dry-hopping. Who would have ever thought I’d give a wheat beer a 3.9 and have one of the lowest ratings on the page?

12oz Bottle. Flickr(http://www.flickr.com/photos/26049401@N0 A bit of bristling pine and orange nose. Some christmas essence wafts through. Pours a heavily clouded dark gol, with a rocky off-white head. Flavor is nice and snappy. Sweet wheat oils mingle with dry hop resins and a punch of yeast. The hefe character actually stays a little low, while the wheat texture and hop sugars rise. A well-balanced, tasty beer. I think I may have bought this a little older and warm, so the hop the character may not be as fresh as I may hoped. Finishes in a cream-of-wheat creaminess texture that’s enjoyable. Nice! I think this is a pretty awesome beer.

Huge hops, fruit grapefruit and bubblegum. Rounded flavors, moderate hop finish. Good palate, very dry, light yellow color. Great aroma, especially.
