Heavy Weizen explores the inner depths of creativity and craftsmanship, taking a style of ale that is delicate and quaffable and shaping it into something exuberant and sturdy.
The foundation of Heavy Weizen begins with prodigious quantities of North American malted barley and wheat. Next, the finest European hops are added to complement this ale’s unique disposition by giving spicy aromas. Its spirit is forged during fermentation where our Bavarian weizen yeast consumes sugars and creates divine flavors reminiscent of bananas and cloves. Then, by aging this ale, we allow the divergent characteristics to blend together, becoming one. To capture Heavy Weizen’s spirit, this wheat ale remains unfiltered to leave some of the yeast in the bottle. Serving this ale with a wedge of lemon is recommended, but optional.
18 plato, 38 IBUs, 2-row pale malt, malted white wheat, hallertau magnum, saaz.

Bottle. Pine hops and sweet apricot/banana aroma. Golden yellow color with minimal head. Sweet apricot, banana, apple and wheat malt flavor - very sweet - a bit too much for me.

Bottle. Blonde with an orange haze. Wheat, banana, tangerine and pineapple in the aroma. Wheaty, slightly alcoholic sweetish flavor, slightly grassy with clove, banana, tangerine and mango. Pretty straightforward alcoholic weizen.

Bottle @ HjHansen, Odense. Pours cloudy golden with a thick white head and lacings. Nose is heavy banana and wheat. Very sweet overall. Medium and smooth palate. A heavy wheat bomb for sure.

Cloudy golden with a lasting white head. Somewhat weak banana aroma, with a little straw and a hint of plastic-y phenols. Sweet fruity flavour, somewhat sticky with some warm alcohol.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of wheat and citrus. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of peaches and mango as well as some notes of wheat and citrus, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Cloudy pale blond color; medium head. The aroma is spicy, a bit soapy, with wheat. Medium body, yes there is wheat flavor and strong spice, good body strength, but it’s not my kind. Out of place.
