Old gold color. Aromas and flavors of caramel, clove, roasted banana, and orange and pecan with a velvety, crisp, spritzy, dryish medium body and a smooth, appealing, medium-length finish with overtones of banana custard, caramel waffle, clove, and lemon. Fruity and a bit sweet but it grows on you and pulls you in with each additional sip.

Hefeweizen

Weizen hefes are pale straw to deep golden in color and range from 4-6% in alcohol. These beers are refreshing and highly carbonated with banana and spicy clove-like flavors derived from the yeast strains used in the brewing process. Hop flavors play a very insignificant role in the flavor profile. This is a top-fermenting, unflitered beer style that originated from southern Germany, particularly Bavaria, and is brewed with at least 50% wheat in the mash. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Paulaner Hefe-Weizen, Hacker-Pschorr Weisse and New Glarus Dancing Man Wheat.
