Commercial Description:
Do not waste time attempting to box this brew into some esoteric guide to styles. This is Dan’s bold creation. His passion for unfiltered Weiss collides with Cascade Hops inventing our Imperial Hefe-Weizen. Dry hopping boldly rules over Wisconsin red wheat and our special strain of Bavarian yeast. At almost 20 O.P. this is the super mac daddy of Weiss beers. Decoction mashing was followed by excessive dry hopping to create a fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon and citrus all in this living beer. Don’t bother waiting to enjoy - the time is now.

Bottle huge thanks to wetherel! Aroma is great, packed full of citrusly orangy peel and lemmon hop, wheat is evedent and as it warms peppery alcohol comes through too. Taste is similar when in the mouth, but once swallowed the wheaty clove orange character are actually fighting with the near iipa hoppyness, causaeing a very confusing and annoying flavour to finish. This stays the whole beer which tells me one of two things. Get rid of the wheat and you’ve got a hot iipa. Or get rid of the hops and you’ve got an hot wheat wine. Either would be great for me, but not together. I still think this is a fairly drinkable beer for the strength, like its probably easier than bigfoot, but that finish just really got in the way.

Pours cloudy golden with a medium frothy head. Very lacy. Aroma is very spicy. Taste of cloves and citrus hops. A touch of grapefruit peeks through.

Bottle pours cloudy orange with a medium white head. Aromas of orange and butterscotch. Begins sweet with hints of Orange, lemon, Clove, and Cinnamon. Finishes with slightly bitter hops and noticeable alcohol burn. Great beer!
