A reimagined ancient beer style with roots in Hannover, Germany, brewed with air-dried barley, wheat, and a blend of two wild and two hefeweizen yeast strains. Bright aromas of lemon peel, red berries, and a subtle hint of banana lead into a light-bodied, yeast-forward profile. A gentle funk and mild acidity add complexity without overwhelming the palate. Traditionally served 'mit Hefe'--with the yeast roused before pouring--for full expression.

500mL undated bottle fresh from the brewery, drunk 9/17/25.
Gently hazy, pale lemon blonde. Large, fairly creamy, white head, good retention.
Beautiful nose showcasing both the wild and weizen yeast, possibly favoring the wild yeast, but it's soft, round, no big acidity, no hard lacto or anything like that. Just mild, fruity Brett, tons of soft funk and big mineral. Crusty wheat and dainty honey from the wheat/malt balance gently and it's polished and clean with no crude esters or phenols.
Soft vanilla and chewy, biscuity, nutty wheat with low sweetness but tons of satisfying texture. Gentle mineral and mild acidity. The flavor tends to favor the weizen yeast, but just barely, and it's clean and polished with no crude clove or big banana/gum. Now this is a hefe I can get behind. The usual ester/phenol profile of all but the very best weizen brewers gets pretty fatiguing quickly, yet here it's subtle and you get tons of malt/wheat and mineral.
