| Tasting: | Delicious summertime ale brewed in the traditional German hefeweizen style, using a premium hefeweizen yeast strain. As a result, the nose features both banana and clove esters. The two varieties of wheat malt in combination with Vienna, Munich and 2-row malts yield a well-balanced and easy drinking body. The appearance is a medium golden unfiltered cloudiness appropriate for the style with white head. | |||||||
