Commercial Description:
Summit Hefe Weizen is brewed with a high percentage of malted wheat, then a small amount of authentic German weizen yeast is left behind to help maintain its brewery freshness. And that’s what accounts for Hefe Weizen’s unique cloudy appearance.

Poured from bottle into water glass at work. Cloudy orange with a foamy head. Smell has some wheatiness with mild bananas and some cloves, but not enough for my liking. Taste of sweet wheat malt, with some bananas. Light hop spiciness at the end. The clove taste, while present, is way too mild. Seems halfway between a German Hefeweizen and an American Wheat. Moderate carbonation, fairly light and seems somewhat thin. Overall, very light and easy to drink, but also light on flavor. I prefer other Hefeweizens, including Schell’s, which is also local.

Bottle. Looks nice in the glass with a pleasant aroma that is slightly sweet. Smooth on the tongue with citrus undertones. Refreshing. Overall, pretty decent for the style.

Bottle: Pours a dusty golden/yellow color with a small, short lived white head. Very light aroma is wheat, cloves, yeast, and bananas. The flavor is deep in wheat tones with cloves, apples, cinnamon, and a little husky/bready thing in the end. Still finishes crisp and clean.

12 oz bottle. Pours golden with a white head. I forgot to swirl the yeast around, so it’s only lightly hazy. Aroma is of cloves and bubblegum. Flavors of wheat, cloves and biscuit. On the light side, but still pleasant to drink.

Slightly hazy orange but only in the slightest bit. Nice banana scents with the edge of spice on the nose. Taste has a great upfront flavor of spice and clove. Banana flavors by a little, but the flavor finishes by fading quickly. Aroma seems to be better than the flavor, as the elements that reside on the nose are greatly subdued in the taste. Has potential.

Bottle thanks to blutt59. Pours with a hazed golden body and a fading white head. Aroma of plastic, orange and caramel. Taste is fizzy and grassy with some orange. Fizzy and dry.
