Commercial Description:
Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation. This difficult and labor-intensive technique adds uncommon depth and flavor complexity. Our hazy-golden hefeweizen is deeply flavorful, refreshing and perfect for a sunny day. To serve, pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest.

Location: Not sure where it was purchased, 7/6/09

Aroma: Clove, yeast, banana, wheat, bubblegum
Appearance: Hazy banana yellow, foamy white mead, lots of lacing on the glass
Flavor: Nice flavor, typical of the German wheat style, nice mix of spice and sweetness
Palate: Relatively easy drinking beer, decent mouthfeel, nice example of the style
Overall Impression: A pretty nice American attempt at the German Hefe.

12oz bottle 7/6/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a hazy cloudy orangish yellow with a big tight white head. Aroma of banana, clove, and yeast. Taste of the same with all of the flavors being very pronounced. This medium bodied brew is a very good American Hefe. Great job.

Bottle thanks to Butters. Hazy golden orange color with a thick frothy white foam. Aroma is big spiciness, yeasty, dry malt, some banana and bubblegum. Taste is much nicer, clearer banana, citrus, bubblegum, balancing yeasty clove spicing.

This is a cloudy straw-colored beer with a moderate white head and a banana aroma. This is a very refreshing wheat beer that is slightly carbonated and slightly sour, with a flavor of peach, cloves and banana.

I wasn’t impressed with this one. Pours standard color with fluffy white head. Aroma of cloves and banana. Taste is first of hops, followed by a smooth finish. Seems to lack the bite and complexity of other Hefes. Maybe, I’m just not thrilled with the American style.

2009 Bottle - Pours a hazy dk straw color with a large frothy white head...aroma is lightly belgian, with spice and cirtus...flavour is creamy in the mouth, banana, pear, lemon, clove and a ton of yeast and only slightly tart on the back end...this was such an incredible surprise, absolutely enjoyable from first sip...easily the best summer drinker I’ve found this year, and would be enjoyable the 3 non-freezing seasons of the year...damn good stuff...
