COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This American version of a German classic wheat beer is unfiltered resulting in its turbid appearance and healthful benefits.

The Hefe Weizen style has enjoyed remarkable success in the Pacific Northwest in the past decade accounnting for as much as 90% of some breweries total production. Pronounced: Hay-fuh-vytzen....which translates to yeast wheat. Made with 60% Wheat; Starting Gravity of 1.058.

Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - JUL 12, 2007
Third stop during the ABA Beer Tour ’07 in Bozeman, Montana. Sampled at the Bozeman brewery brewpub on tap. Pours a cloudy pale golden blonde brew with an average sized white head that dissolves to a fine lacing and film. Aroma of wheat, a faint yeast scent with some citrus zest. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation, yet smooth and creamy. Flavor is not over-powering; light and crisp. Finish is smooth with a slight yeast aftertaste.

On Tap: Nice yellow golden color, but somewhat lacking when it comes to flavor. Very thin taste overall, some citrus presence, a little wheat, but not much else. Very mild overall.

kyzr (1140) - Belgrade, Montana, USA - AUG 2, 2006
Yellow gold with very light and small head. Hints of wheat, with a light citrus. Flavor much the same, a spike in the hops, but not enough to get excited about. Finish is very light.

BückDich (5468) - McCall, Idaho, USA - JUN 13, 2006
Sampled at the NABA 06 Fest: Yellow gold, light head and lacing. Nose of American wheat, no esters, light and thin I’m thinking. Yup, light and thin flavor, a touch of citrus acidity and maybe a whisper of the authentic German hefe character. A bit too subdued to be enjoyable. Where are my hallertauers?!
