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.

Bottle at Flying Saucer, Houston.
Pours an average thin yellow*orange with a semi-weak aroma of flat vlove and ripe banana. Flavor is lemony banana and clove, with a hint of sweet grass in the finish. Tingly on the tongue. Not bad but not memorable.

Bottle at the Rake. A very decent waiss, bananas, fine body, but, on the other ahnd it is not a very exciting style. But the Kelelr part of it lifts the beer, some funky barnyard lifts the beer quite a bit.

Bottle. Hazy light yellow body, thin off-white head. Nose dominated by clove, banana, and bubble gum esters. Light, spritzy body with banana and clove and wet grass, relatively dry, yeast-dominated.

Pours a cloudy yellow gold with white pillowy head. Aroma is mostly cloves with a bit of banana, wheat, and grass. Taste is dry with a light tartness; flavors of bread and lemony citrus with very mild banana and clove presence. Light-medium body with a silky mouthfeel and prickly carbonation. I was expecting something more richly flavored but it’s not bad. Certainly very refreshing.

It’s unclear, yellow-golden with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of yeast, clove, light banana and wheat. The flavor is sweet and a bit perfumed with notes of yeast and especially clove, that doesn’t leave much room for notes of banana and wheat. OK interpretation, bit the clove is IMO a bit too dominating.

Pours a huge 4 finger white head. Body is a hazy yellow with tons of carbonation rising to surface. Head retention and lacing are good. Aroma is of typical hefeweizen, wheat with fruity phenols. Cloves are also in there. Hops are not present. Taste is of fruity, spicy yeast and wheat/ malt. Not getting too much clove or banana, very mild tasting. No hops are detected. Mouth feel is good, not too highly carbonated. Light bodied but not watery. Head kinda faded halfway, wish it would have stayed. Overall, it is a very sessionable beer. This is one of the best American attempts of the style, not the best in the world but nice to see Sierra Nevada making something not overly hoppy
