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.

Fruity, yeasty, banana aroma with plenty of spicy clove that is thick and fulfilling. Darker than normal golden-orange pour, cloudy body. Thin white head with little to no lacing. Medium body with a smooth, refreshing, crisp finish. Good flavor that is rather authentic, but not as robust as the great ones. Dry wheat and grassy flavor. Good ol’ banana, lemon, and clove round out the flavor.

Hazy, unfiltered dark orange-yellow body... minimal effervescence.... generous head gives way to thin, white eighth-inch head, chalk-like without tracings... carbonation is fizzy in an active, respectful manner... balanced in mouthfeel from start to finish, with multiple glasses an easy proposition...quite a mix of citrus and clove: the yeast is balanced nicely with malts... overall, a solid hefe: the results (a heat-curtailing drink with some complexity for thought) speaks as clearly as any criticism I could write... I seem to be a minority on the Flying Dog leash...is the artwork causing adverse reactions from the internet beer crowd, or am I way off on them?

pours a semi-opague dark gold with almost no head, high carbonation. aroma of yeast, spice, clove, banana, and lemon. Flavor is mostly yeast and banana- refereshing, but certainly not a top hefeweizen.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium foamy head. Light spice, yeast, grain and citrus aroma. Grainy yeast flavor with a touch of lemon and spice. Refreshing, though not great.

On Tap in MD Brewery- Cloudy yellow gold pour with small foam head. Spice and yeast with hints of cloves. Some citrus notes and a vanilla undertone on the pallet. An earthy wheat quality, a good drinker but not my style.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with a medium head. Clove and banana aroma as appropriate. A touch of citrus flavours freshens up in between banana and spices. Full-bodied and medium carbonation. A solid and well-made hefeweizen.

12 oz. bottle. Poured a dark hazy golden hue typical of the hefe with a decent creamy head. Aromas of wheat, some banana esters, clove, and a touch of lemony citrus. Initial is vaguely banana esters, clove, with some wheaty notes and a touch of citrus and vanilla on the backend / finish. Finishes smooth. A decent hefe. Cheers!
