Two Brothers Ebels Weiss Beer

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Warrenville, Illinois USA

this beer is quite beautiful when poured. nice effervescent white head with a beautiful orange color. clean mouthfeel with notes of vanilla citrus, and banana. decent, but not a hefe fan. bottle @ blackbird Chicago, Illinois

Pours a cloudy orange with basically no head. Nose is funky bananas with a spicy and very, very doughy edge. Flavor is tangy citrus. A bit too bright IMO. But still in the grand scheme of things, fairly complex. Feel has a decent carbonation and the liquid is alright. Overall this is a fairly decent hefeweizen. Won’t go down as the most interesting, but it’s certainly a noble try from an American producer.

Bottle. Pours a clear light golden color with a decent size white head. Aroma of cloves, bananas, malt and yeats. Taste is clean, semi sweet of the same. Has a lght citrus undetone to it with a smooth light finish. Very easy to drink.

Bottle at North Pond. Slightly hazy yellow gold with a thin off-white head. Citric bready aroma hints of banana and clove. Tart citric flavor that lingers lightly.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow/orange pour with a bif foamy white head and lively columns of carbonation. Aromas of banana, clove, and lemon. Light wheat malt flavors with some citric tartness at first, but mellowing into a more of a flat bready flavor. Seems to become progressively papery and thin. Meh.

Encroaching upon the best by date, there was no notice of deterioration within the three bottles I enjoyed during the Brown’s surprising victory over Baltimore. That being said I discovered that this is another one of the few more genuine American Hefe’s I’ve come across. Good aroma of spicy cloves, mild banana, and creamy vanilla (could be more abundant). Cloudy and bright orange-yellow color with a small head and spotty lacing, not too impressive. Spritzy and lively mouth feel that is slightly tart with a mellow dryness. Rather authentic flavor of this traditional German style. Firm banana and clove are primarily featured. Dry wheat malt along with a touch of honey and some bready malts. Good one.

Poured to a hazy golden yellow with decent carbonation and a nice white head that lasts awhile and leves okay lacing. By far, the highlight of this beer is the aroma, which is a nice crisp mixture of coriander, banana, cookie dough and a hint of orange. Mouthfeel is sweet, somewhat chewy and a bit tingly from the spice. Flavor is a muted version of the aroma, but with all elements present. The only downfall to this beer was the finish, which was slightly stale, short and watery, All in all though, a very enjoyable summer beer.

Pour is a golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice clove with some spice and wheat. Flavor is not as great as the aroma. Some clove show up but nothing special. Just very ok for a hefe.
