COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A technique developed by the brewmaster, using an extremely long boil and lager yeast makes this beer uniquely distinctive. South German style wheat beer gently hopped, light in body with a sweet finish. This is one of our mildest beers.

Tap at the brewpub. Mostly clear light orange pour with a nice frothy white head. Mild wheat nose. Smooth and light palate. Mild wheat taste without much for other flavor elements.

Scubatrip (549) - Alexandria, Virginia, USA - AUG 30, 2010
On tap at the brewpub, pours a clear pale orange with no head. Good banana and yeasty notes in the aroma, but the taste was not as good. Just ok, more an American wheat.

phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 19, 2008
I don’t know i would consider this beer a hefe. Light bodied, dark golden colour with a mildly astringent but pleasent wheaty character. Initial taste of fruit, plums and grapes with scattered lacing around the glass like cloud art.

CaptainCougar (6746) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - NOV 18, 2007
On tap at the brewpub on 6/24/07: Pours a transparent dark copper amber with a frothy clingy-lacing light tan head. Aroma of sweet caramely wheat and a hint of doughy yeast. Body starts with a rich caramel toffee wheatiness and smooth lightly earthy Hallertau hop bitterness. A nice, full-bodied sweet wheat beer.

clear amber, fine beige head, wispy lace, sweet malt aroma with a candied caranel character, lots of sweet caramelized munich malt flavor, light bitterness adds some balance but it’s the malt that makes this beer,

Not your typical wheat, more likely your grandfather or great-grandfather’s wheat. When I see the old pictures of turn of the century (not the last one, but the one I think of). breweries and the employees holding up dark brews this one fits right in. Light chestnut color with a moderate off-white head. Light sweet wheat, with hints of dry grain and brown sugar. Dark cream of wheat flavors. A touch of what seems to be black malt acidity. Interesting ur-weiss. I think the yeast stain is a little to reserved for this style, but still once again, very drinkable.
