Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of clove, orange, and foam yoga mat with a satiny, lively, spritzy, dryish light-to-medium body and a charming, medium-length finish that shows notes of clove, cardamon, banana, and rubberized foam. Loads of aromatics that carry over long into the finish.

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.
