This Bavarian-style unfiltered wheat beer is brewed with 50% malted barley and 50% malted wheat. Our signature blend of German yeast strain imparts a flavor and aroma reminiscent of bananas, cloves and bubblegum.

Clear golden color and somewhat bubbly with a thin white head and very little lacing. Aroma of wheat and clove. Light-bodied and crisp with a decent balance of wheat, banana and hops flavor. The finish is refreshing and mildly hoppy with a pinch of citrus. Straightforward and enjoyable.

2005 bottle at Mondial, 6/5/05. I must have got a decent pour, as mine turned out quite pleasant. Hazy orange-golden, very fine bubbles and a small, off-white head not long retained, with light lacing. Aroma of lightly sugary, doughy malt, bits of sweet orange, apricots and pepper. Not terribly heavy on the esters, be it banana, clove or bubblegum. Though there is a touch of banana evident, it is mostly the soft, creamy sweet malt, and lightly floral hops that give aroma. Flavor is light citrus, hints of soft bubblegum, light doughy malt and a zesty spiciness from the hops. Ends with some peppery, perhaps clove-like spice, quite crisp and refreshing. It dosent end watery and thick like some recent examples I have had. I think crispness is important in a summer beer. Moderate carbonation is natural and unobtrusive, while the body is a solid medium, with no wateriness. Low yeast apparency and only marginal wheat flavors, no sourness really. Still, I enjoyed the malt and soft hops.

On a hot sunny summer day one’s throat becomes quickly parched and only one thing can truly satisfy - weizen. Lo and behold, there within the fridge a bottle of the blessed gift of wheat - Stouts Weizen. But wait, I have not had this brew before. Can it satisfy the yearning that consumes me? Quickly I grab the 12 oz bottle from its icy confines and feel is pleasing coldness upon my skin. The temperature is right the time of quenching is to begin! But upon bringing out the fabled glass of the ancients and ripping the crown off of the cold bottle there quickly comes a surprise as I pour. This beer pours not in the fine yellow, golden and orange hues of the beverages of yore. Instead I am greeted by a barely pale yellow-ocher colored beverage that seems to stare listlessly from the glass. The color disgusts and revolts and mocks me more by its clarity. Slightly cloudy to be sure but as I stare dumbfoundedly at the glass I can most certainly see the world beyond through its depths. A small white head rises to the top to mock me with reminders of what should be. Choking back my trepidation I bring the offending beverage to my nose. A moderate aroma of sweet wheat and citrus rises. My hopes rise with them. Aha! It may not look much like a weizen but the nose is unmistakable - there is hope yet. Carefully I bring the beverage to my parched lips. I search for wheat upon my tongue but very little is to be found. I check for citrus as well, but have to search long and hard to find it. What I do find is a vague spiciness and a bizarre dry aftertaste that is beyond my ability to describe. With a heavy heart I choke the beverage down as quickly as possible so as to return to the fridge to find some real wheat beer that may be lurking within.
