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.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of wheat and citrus. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of peaches and mango as well as some notes of wheat and citrus, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Cloudy pale blond color; medium head. The aroma is spicy, a bit soapy, with wheat. Medium body, yes there is wheat flavor and strong spice, good body strength, but it’s not my kind. Out of place.

(22oz bottle) Cloudy apple cider body with small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, banana, some wheat, light bubblegum. Taste is moderately sweet, banana, clove, some earthy/grassy, cream, alcohol astringency, bubblegum, light orange. Creamy, medium-full body. Given its strength and body, I wonder whether this should be labeled a Weizenbock.
