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.

12oz bottle served in a shaker. Hazy golden orange pour with a thin head of lasting off-white foam that produced some good lacing. The aroma of the beer had fresh oranges, grass, high quality wheat, grass, and mild spicy yeast esters. The flavor included wheat, citrus, and a grassy bitterness. A hoppy hefe...I like it. Medium-bodied and creamy. Softly carbonated. I’m glad they didn’t use a cleaner American wheat yeast strain. The hefe characteristics really shine through under the hops. Nicely done!

Traded bottle (very fresh). Different wheat for sure. More spice that expected. Lots of banana and clove in the aroma and the flavour plus a little sour tartness. Finsh was LONG, fairly bitter and showed the Amarillo hops.

What a great beer. Pours very cloudy deep yellow to orange with a big white head. Just a great clean crisp perfect pallete of grains, lemon, touch of spice and balaneced perfectly by the flowery hops.

Unclear medium yellow color with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, light to moderate hoppy, moderate yeasty, fruity, banana. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090913]

Pours a cloudy yellow/orange. The head is freaking insane. Bright white, thick as bubble bath, and possibly eternal. Smells like bananas. Tastes like rotting bananas, bad bubble gum, and hearty wheat. Somewhat of a watery finish with a tad of pepper, but the banana and wheat flavor stays with you for the rest of the night. Definately a strange brew. I don’t really like it, but it is original and unique.

12 oz bottle. Nice looking hazy pour. Strong carbonation. Nose is bananas, spices, yeast, clove. Flavor is much of the same. A little on the dry side, with a very faint sourness. Very good, as is everything from NG. Not quite as good as Dancing Man, but still very good nonetheless.

[Bottle] Pours a cloudy golden color with a copious amount of thick white head. Strong hints of clove and yeast in the nose. Lots of wheat malt, bubblegum, clove, nutmeg and citrus in the taste. Very good mouthfeel and decent balance. A little more hoppy than I expected, which takes away just a bit in my opinion. Otherwise another fantastic NG brew.
