Weiss Principal is the international love child of a German Hefe-Weisse and an American Double IPA. This unfiltered wheat beer employs a traditional German Weiss yeast, providing engaging banana and clove flavors. A stern dry-hopping of a pungent American hops provides pronounced citrus, pine & fruit notes.

Pours gold into a shaker. Bright white micro head with very good retention recedes to coat surface. Hot banana and clove aromas. Dark sour clove front to back with a cloying clove finish. Cloves.

22oz bottle thanks to AirForceHops
Appearance: Pours slightly hazy golden with a big creamy white head and lots of sticky lacing
Aroma: Wheat, yeast, clove, citrus and spices
Taste: Sweet malts, citrus, spices, hot alcohols with a bitter finish
Ok. The sweetness and alcohols took over and covered up a usually light and refreshing beer.

Pours a really clear deep golden color with a huge bubbly white head that sticks around forever. Smells of clove and allspice with hints of banana. There’s lots of spicy yeast esters and a bit of lemon in this one and I heard tell there’s some malt in here too, but I can’t find it in the nose. Oh there it is. First sip proves there’s some sweet malt in there. Taste is tart spicy phenolic-y. There’s malt up front followed by an unpleasant alcohol burn then some clove and nail polish. Finishes with a lingering alcohol burn mixed with lemon pledge and a bit of earthiness. Sweet sticky mouthfeel, medium to full body and a spirited level of carbonation. Wow after the last few Peak beers really impressing me, this was quite a letdown. I don’t think the high level of hops the spicy wheat, yeast, and alcohol meld very well in this one. One and done.

22 oz bottle. Purchased at Gary’s Beverage, Portsmouth, NH . Color of grapefruit juice. Thick, huge white head that died within about 2 minutes. Leaving a small ring of spider web lace. Taste upfront is a sweet clove, light banana with a nice grapefruit toward the finish. Little to no bitterness. I pick up some pine as it gets warm. Medium to fuller body. This is the 1st dry hopped German Hefeweizen I ever had. A very nice and interesting take on my Favorite style. Very enjoyable, I’m going to get a few more bottles before summers end.
