In playful pursuit of butterflies a Red Fox danced across the brewery hill. His joy so pure it bubbled through our hearts and into this beer. Laughing Fox is a sparkling Kristal Weizen brewed in the Bavarian tradition with 50% Wisconsin wheat in our open top fermenters. Tickle your nose notes of spicy clove and cinnamon abound. Dan’s inspired Weizen interpretation reflects the deep bittersweet color of our Fox’s red coat.

Expect this beer to pour a lively effervescent glass thick with creamy foam and bursting with luscious fruity notes on your pallet. This is easy drinking beer perfect for a friendly Wisconsin evening. Relax, this is God’s Country, here we have the strength to reach for the stars and change the world.

Bottle thanks to Drake! Amber pour with a gigantic soft beige head. Dried floral hops, lemon zest, wheat nose. Banana - soft and overripe (but not sweet), wheat, nuttiness, bread. Nice.

This is the first dark kristall weizen that I've ever heard of let alone tasted. The appearance of this one is good with a huge very long lasting thick foamy cream-colored head but the thing with a traditional Krystal weizen is the crystalline Clarity of the beer. It's seemingly brilliant. Anyway this one has nice Bavarian style flavors. This one is also a bit heavier and Fuller in body than the traditional pale colored Style.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear amber with a half finger of white head. Aroma of wheat and clove with a good dose of baking spice. Taste is light sweet. Banana and clove with wheat. Light bodied with a thin yet slightly sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, very good.

Bottle courtesy shrubber85. Banana, wheat malt aroma. Clear copper with a large, quickly dissipating head. Wheat, banana, spice, and a very pleasant acidity in the flavor. Quite carbonated medium body. Very nice and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear amber with a fluffy tan head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a good amount of wheat with backing light fruits, particularly strawberry and and a bit of clove. Flavor has a good amount of light fruits with some banana and strawberry that come out in the finish with some light wheat up front.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear, slightly amber golden with an off-white head. Very yeasty aroma, clove, banana, green and red apple, just a bit overripe and not to my preferences. Flavor is definitely has yeast as well, cloves, apple, some butterscotch even (not the bad kind), strawberry, hint of hops. Very surprising for a kristallweizen, really, quite a bit of flavor. Still finishes clean, though.

Not too bad. Definitely a step up from the Unplugged Imperial Weizen they released a while back. Dancing Man Wheat is one of the best non-German wheat beers I’ve tried, so maybe it shouldn’t be a surprise. Pours a nice, clear golden-yellow. Aroma and flavor dominated by cloves, sour banana, and other esters. Nice, clean mouthfeel and dry finish to the beer.
