Hazy yellow color. Aromas and flavors of coriander, sandalwood and potpourri, banana bread, and tangerine with a round, crisp, spritzy, dryish medium body and a tingling, interesting, buoyant finish with notes of honey malt, saltines, banana and clove, and lemongrass and sandalwood. Delicious in its own right and will be a lovely companion for food pairings; incredibly unique and unlike nearly anything in the category while still living firmly within it.

About
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.
