A true Bavarian wheat yeast, sixty percent wheat malt, and German hops make Santa Fe Wheat Beer as true to the style as any American rendition can be. German Wheat Beer, with its hints of banana and clove, its delectable, spicy hops, and its pale golden color, is becoming increasingly popular in America’s craft brewing world, and with good reason: wheat beers are both light enough to please light beer drinkers, and complex enough to please true micro-brew connoisseurs. To mimic a classic German Hefeweizen, after pouring your Santa Fe Wheat Beer into a glass, swirl the last few drops in the bottle to loosen the yeast from the bottom, then pour the yeast over the top of your beer.

Bottle. Poured a hazy straw color. Moderate quickly dissipating head. Yeast, citrus and ripe banana aroma. Thin carbonated palate. Flavor was bread, spice, and slightly bitter. Drinkable, but not exceptional.

Bottle. Lemon, banana, yeast, and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow color with small head. Lemon/banana and wheat malt flavor with a strong clove/coriander finish. Decent weizen on the spicy side.

Bottle: thanks to ericandersnavy. Again. Hazy golden color with a foamy white head. Aromas of banana, yeast/spice, subtle clove and a hint of honey. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is spicey, wheat, banana and clove. Fairly straightforward hefeweizen. Finish is towards mild clove. There is a banana ester aroma suggesting a Belgian ale. Not the usual n-amyl acetate. Something slightly different.

Bottle thanks to boomer0813 and ericandersnavy. Pours with a hazy golden body with a bit of orange in it and a smallish white head. Aroma of banana, lots of caramel and vanilla. Taste is plastic with clove phenols, vanilla and light citrus zest. Thin body, a bit too fizzy.
