Our Hefeweizen is a faithful version of the traditional Bavarian wheat beer. Hefe is the German word for 'yeast' and weizen means 'wheat'. This beer is made with 40% wheat malt and is brewed with a special yeast that tends to stay in suspension, giving the beer its cloudy appearance. Bavarians are so convinced of the healthful qualities of this yeasty brew that doctors there are known to prescribe two Hefeweizens a day to feeble patients. The yeast used for this brew also imparts its unique spicy, clovey flavour. Some people even detect a light banana flavour. All of these wacky flavours are the natural 'signature' left by this specific yeast strain during its fermentation of the beer and no additional spices are added.

Draught at the brewpub
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is not inviting, a bit smelly, stagnant water, plastic, but also some banana. The mouthfeel is dry but smooth; the wheat flavor is delicate, followed by strong banana character; the bitterness is very low, which accentuates the sweetness; the spicy character is also a bit low.
Not too bad, quite easy but pleasant.

Draught at the brewpub. Muddy pale orange. Aroma of jelly and banana. Sweetish with rounded mouthfeel and near citric bananaish yeast character. Short pleasantly dry finish. Very refreshing - a great hefeweizen!

Orangey-amber colour. Very cloudy. Very fruity, juicy aroma with lemon, spices, banana. Very malty flavour with subtle banana. Yeasty, wheaty finish. Quite a full body. This appears to be Steamworks’ signature style, so hopefully they’ll do more weizenbier.
