John O’ The Birds Hefeweizen Ale is a bright, refreshing tribute to the Catskills’ natural heritage and legendary naturalist John Burroughs. Named in his honor, this wheat beer celebrates the region’s iconic songbirds and Burroughs’ lifelong dedication to conservation, wildlife, and the great outdoors.
Pouring a hazy golden-yellow with a thick, frothy white head, it releases aromas of banana, clove, and light citrus, classic to a Hefeweizen, evoking the scents of a sunlit Catskill morning. On the palate, it’s smooth, medium-bodied, and slightly effervescent, offering flavors of ripe banana, subtle spice, and soft malt sweetness that balance a clean, crisp finish.
Enjoy John O’ The Birds Hefeweizen Ale while celebrating the outdoors, protecting wildlife habitats, or reflecting on the legacy of John Burroughs — a beer that pairs perfectly with friends, fresh air, and a commitment to conservation.
ABV: 5.4% (Note: can is labelled 6%)
Style: Hefeweizen / Wheat Ale
Tasting Notes: Banana • Clove • Citrus • Crisp Finish
Pairs With: Soft cheeses, summer salads, grilled seafood, or a quiet morning by the river

Hazy pale yellow with large white head. Banana, bubblegum, clove, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet bubblegum, clove, banana, light wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Body a bit light. Not a lot of malt flavor here.
