Commercial Description:
Brewed in the centuries old tradition of German beers, our brewers use more wheat and proprietary yeast to give it the unmistakable character of a flavorful, authentic Hefeweizen. The High proportion of wheat gives In Heat its smooth, full-mouth feel and our special yeast gives it its unique fruity and spicy aroma.

[Sampled with the trio: Svoger, Svogergylp and Adenila Foged at EBF, 2008.] Although it is long time I’ve tasted this I remember some milddosed wheat in a light body. Good for a festival!

A- Pours a very cloudy light orange hue, head is small, white, creamy and mostly diminishing, fair lacing on the glass S- Very sweet aroma characterized by bananas, wheat, and the slightest of citrus/lemon fumes, overall a bit underwhelming T- The taste is fairly light and initial tones of sweet, almost syrupy banana and pine hops dominate, transitions to some yeasty and wheat malts and finishes with a sweet pineapple tinge that quickly dissipates M- Light/medium-bodied wheat ale, light and watery texture, unassuming finish D- Very smooth and easy drinking wheat ale that has a bit more sweetness than others in this genre (I kept thinking "Pina Colada"), nothing really stands out with this ale and not being a huge fan of this style, I probably won’t pick it up again in the future.

Pours a dirty dishwater brownish murky gold color with a poorly developed head. Aroma of apple, banana and something akin to apricots. Flavour of banana, yeast, and a bit of lemon and malt. Decent, run of the mill type hefe.

Yellow-orange pout with a white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, and citrus. A little disappointing, not as drinkable as I had hoped. Smooth medium body.

Pours a cloudy copper with no head. Smell is subdued, but not abnormal for a hefe. Flavor balanced, smooth, and perhaps a bit watery. Slightly salty and finishes with flavors of orange and clove. There’s nothing wrong with it, but In heat wheat is not exceptional.

12 oz.bottle. Pours a thinnish head of poor duration over a cloudy honey yellow body with plentiful yeast residue ......nose of bread, with multiple spices such as clove as well as citrus dominating....tastes of wheat, spice, lemon, with a tart finish....mouthfeel is medium, with light carbonation. This is a good example of the style.

Poured a dark, murky yellow with a white head and decent lacing. Smells of lemon and wheat - I din’t pick up as much banana as some have indicated - but a slight scent was there. The taste was of lemon, spice, and was crisp and very drinkable. Not a bad beer at all.

Lots of fruit flavor, especially banana, and some citrus. Sweet fruitiness more than anything else, with a yeasty finish. Some clove is noticable.
