Commercial Description:
If you dream of wheat this brew will get your toes tapping. Since 1995 we have brewed Bavarian style wheat beers exclusively for the same great state that grows and malts our own Wisconsin wheat. In a world full of posers this is a true hefe-weizen naturally 100% bottle fermented and hazy.

Expect this beer to cascade effervescent into your glass. The rich spicy clove and cinnamon notes will greet your nose while sweet fruit and wheat kisses your lips.

Lick the foam from your mouth and admit sometimes you just gotta get up and dance.

BOTTLE: cloudy gold pour, clove and banana on taste. Belgian spices, coriander, wheat - this is probably the best Hefeweizen I’ve had.

German-style hefe if there was one but the yeast character is too much for my tastes. Big clove, cinnamon character with little to balance it out. Like dipping your nose into a spice jar, which is not the kind of experience I wish to equate with beer drinking.

12 oz bottle. I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten around to rating this yet. Pours a hazy gold with large, frothy white head that leaves abundant lacing as it fades. The nose has huge amount of banana and cloves with some other fruity esters as well as wheat. Flavors are much the same with some added candy sugar and a luscious mouthfeel. Goes down oh so smoothly. Alcohol is not really noticeable. One of my favorite hefes.

Nice wheat beer. I prefer the cloudy hefe style, but medium gold color and a nice white head. I experienced the banana-clove aroma and flavor. No hop aroma, very little hop bitterness.

Bottle - Pours clear amber with a massive white head. Smells like a spicy, sweet banana. The taste I’m not that crazy about--it’s all wheat and spice, but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s smooth and medium bodied. This beer looks and smells so much better than it tastes, so I’m a bit disappointed. I liked the Unplugged Imperial Weizen way better.

Cloudy straw with a hint of orange, large pillowy white head, fine lacing. Now this is a Wheat Beer with a kick. Screw that fruity stuff, this has spice! Aroma of wheat malts, clove, and minor banana. Flavor packs a whole lot of wheat malt flavor, some cloves, and a hint of nutmeg. Clean, with a little spiced up finish. Body and mouthfeel are moderate to full. Not as heavy as many German examples, but the flavor profile is all there. Probably one of the better made German Hefeweizens I have had. Very enjoyable beer and I am glad that it is Dancing Man time of year once again.
