Commercial Description:
Heavy Weizen explores the inner depths of creativity and craftsmanship, taking a style of ale that is delicate and quaffable and shaping it into something exuberant and sturdy. The foundation of Heavy Weizen begins with prodigious quantities of North American malted barley and wheat. Next, the finest European hops are added to complement this ale's unique disposition by giving spicy aromas. Its spirit is forged during fermentation where our Bavarian weizen yeast consumes sugars and creates divine flavors reminiscent of bananas and cloves. Then, by aging this ale, we allow the divergent characteristics to blend together, becoming one. To capture Heavy Weizen's spirit, this wheat ale remains unfiltered to leave some of the yeast in the bottle. Serving this ale with a wedge of lemon is recommended, but optional. 18 plato, 38 IBUs, 2-row pale malt, malted white wheat, hallertau magnum, saaz.

bottle - Pours cloudy straw colored with a very thin head. The aroma is yeasty with some citrus. It’s a sweet, light flavored, citrusy beer with a kick at 8% abv. There’s just a touch of alcohol in the flavor. It’s medium bodied and overall fairly enjoyable.

Pours a hazy medium bodied golden with a white frothy head. Aromas of spice, banana, clove, touch of cherry, lemon, bread, wheat and that’s it. Many of the aromas carry over to the flavor being the banana, clove and spices and a little cherry. Nicely sweetened with a touch of sour and bitter. This hefe is balanced and no one flavor sticks out to much. Most hefes I try are too much on the spice side but this one is more subdued. I think this might be one of my favorite hefes though I don’t care for them much.

Clean gold pour with fluffy white head and lace. A large sweet wheat malt aroma with a hint of abv. Wheaty malt flavor with clove and a light bitter. Semi sweet start with a pretty dry finish. Aggressive carbonation on a medium full bodied beer.

Sampled at Beerhawk’s Beer Gods in the Boro, aka 1000 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, By God Beer God Gathering, BG1K Tasting. Darkened hazy yellow with small near white head. More bitter lemon pith and some alcohol is apparent. Some clove and only a hint of spice. Really didn’t care for this one too much.

Thanks to Haslinger for this beer. Poured a rich gold with a nice white head. Nose is bananas, cloves and and toasted notes. Flavor is banana bread, clove and honey. Very nice palate with good finish. Somewhat boozy the more you drink.

Bottle shared by decaturstevo. Poured golden with a thin fizzy white head. Sweet fruit aroma with a clove backing. The flavor found a blend of wheat, fruit, and clove. Light body with a sweet clove aftertaste.
