COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
"El Jefe", translated, means "The Boss", or "The Chief". That's the position that this new hefeweizen from Hale's Ales aspires to. El Jefe pushes the wheat beer category to a new level --- . The flavor profile is "true Bavarian Style" -- complex and mouth-filling, with the spicey and fruity influences that only genuine hefeweizen yeast can produce. Craft beer lovers are ready to take this next step in their appreciation of the unique beers of the world. This is a beer that combines old world quality and character with new world freshness--the best of both worlds.

Was great. Poured nice a smooth with a malty light head. Smell was like a German hefe. Which was impressive, great for a Seattle beer

Colour: cloudy yellow and orange mix. Nose: Salty butter, very ripe barley, fruit basket. Taste: Pineapple and grapefruit all over!, very tart, late mellow barley. One of the most puckering beers I’ve tasted, surprisingly tolerable though.
