Golden yellow color. Aromas and flavors of banana, fried and caramelized plantain, short bread, roasted nuts and clove, and toasted multigrain bread with a satiny, soft, spritzy, dry medium body and a sleek, interesting, medium-length finish conveying suggestions of banana pancake and vanilla cream.

Hefeweizen

Serve in a Weissbier Glass
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.
