This living beer is Dan’s bold Hopped Wheat creation. You hold the return of Crack’d Wheat the marriage of a sophisticated Bavarian Hefeweiss and an American Pale Ale. Amarillo dry hopping consorts with Wisconsin Red Wheat. Traditional Open Top fermentation cultivates our proprietary Bavarian Weiss yeast in our dedicated Wheat Beer Cellar. Absolutely 100% natural bottle conditioned this is a Living beer.

Expect to pour a thick creamy aromatic head. Savor the fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon, and citrus to your nose. Cheers to discovery and friend.

Only in Wisconsin!

Bottle. Cloudy yellow-orange body, thick puffy off-white head with good lacing. Tangy/sweet nose with banana and clove. The body begins somewhat tart, dissipating after a couple sips to a sweet, estery brew with notes of banana, clove, and bubblegum, with a bitter, grassy, finish. Light body, sharply carbonated. Tasty.

Bottle Pours out golden with a little haze and topped with a long lasting white head. Aroma of wheat, oats, cereal malts and light banana. Taste is very good just as the aroma but with a little hop.

Bottle pours a cloudy light yellow/beige. Fine full white head and sturdy lacing. Odd aroma of perfumey hops and German wheat yeast notes. The bavarian banana character is there but gets over-run by the aggressive soapy pale Ale hops. A very interesting battle...er "marriage". Lively carbonation.

Bottle. Poured a very hazy gold with a large white head that dissipated to the edges and laced a bit. Aroma was full of floral and fruit notes with some citrus and apple sticking out as well as a lot of spice (cinnamon in particular). Flavor began with citrus and spices. The citrus mellowed, but the spices melded with more of a floral and grain finish.

12oz bottle pours a hazy, yellow gold with a frothy, soft, creamy white head. Aroma is very strong, yeasty, sweet smelling, coriander, flowers, honey, cloves, grass, perfume, a lot of bubblegum as it warmed. Flavor is sweet, malty, spices, coriander, clove, a little lavender, banana, bubblegum, oranges, white grapes. There’s definitely a hop zing in there. Medium bodied, lightly chalky with heavy carbonation. Really nice. Not just your normal Hef. Unique and appealing and drinkable.

Courtesy of markwise. Pours bright yet hazy gold with white head. The aroma is spicy notes, spicy yeast, some wheat, banana, a touch of lemon like acidity and bubble gum. The taste is prickly with carbonation bringing up wheat, banana, some spices, a touch of drying acidity, grains, wheat and faint bubble gum.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a refrigerated weizen glass. Medium bright white head, aroma is mostly spicy (mostly pine) hops with some clove. Taste starts off wheat with hint of clove, finishes hops (light pine), andRated so high, ultimately disappointing. If you like the marriage of hefe and APA go with Gumballhead.

Bottle from Guerde. Thanks Andy. Pours hazy orange gold with a foamy 3.5 finger white head. Lots of mixed spice and citrus fruit for aroma. Medium body with creamy/foamy carbonation. Flavor is like spiced fruit, going with citrus bitter. Cinnamon is separable, as is clove. Not getting banana. Tell me it’s a Belgian and I’ll believe you. It’s very good. Just a light touch of wheat in the finish. Gotta be the best wheat beer ever.
