Commercial Description:
This is Dan’s bold creation. You hold the international marriage of a sophisticated Bavarian Hefeweiss and an assertive American Pale Ale. Amarillo dry hopping drives Wisconsin Red Wheat. Traditional open top fermentation cultivates our proprietary Bavarian Weiss yeast in our own Wheat Beer Cellars. Absolutely 100% natural bottle conditioned. This is a living beer. Expect to pour a thick creamy head into your glass. Savor the fierce onslaught of clove, cinnamon, and citrus nose. Our very popular Imperial Weizen ratchets down for the session. Drink to adventure and friends in Wisconsin. We are the state of beer.

Pours a cloudy yellow/orange. The head is freaking insane. Bright white, thick as bubble bath, and possibly eternal. Smells like bananas. Tastes like rotting bananas, bad bubble gum, and hearty wheat. Somewhat of a watery finish with a tad of pepper, but the banana and wheat flavor stays with you for the rest of the night. Definately a strange brew. I don’t really like it, but it is original and unique.

12 oz bottle. Nice looking hazy pour. Strong carbonation. Nose is bananas, spices, yeast, clove. Flavor is much of the same. A little on the dry side, with a very faint sourness. Very good, as is everything from NG. Not quite as good as Dancing Man, but still very good nonetheless.

[Bottle] Pours a cloudy golden color with a copious amount of thick white head. Strong hints of clove and yeast in the nose. Lots of wheat malt, bubblegum, clove, nutmeg and citrus in the taste. Very good mouthfeel and decent balance. A little more hoppy than I expected, which takes away just a bit in my opinion. Otherwise another fantastic NG brew.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow gold body with a great 2 finger frothy white head. Nice perfumy and floral nose with a bit of yeast, a touch of marshmallow, wheat and dry hay. Perfumy, hoppy, with a nice tropical fruit and spicy finish, very complex and full flavored for such a light beer. Light bodied and easy drinking with great lively carbonation. What a great refreshing beer. The yeast really made some great things happen here.

bottle, pours hazy bright gold, medium frothy white head. Bannana and clove nose, some sweet notes, maybe honey? Definately some bazooka joe kind of aroma hanging out. Nice wheaty malt filled body, tons of carbonation that really pops on the tounge with clove and esters riding a mild finish. Some clove lingers.

Bottle from MrPickles. Hell of a nice wheat beer. I think this is my new favorite wheat beer, and by far the spiciest wheat ale I’ve every had. Strong nice of clove and yeast. Flavor is serious.. with heavy hints of clove, tangy citrus, and other spices. Many of the flavors you get out of other similar beers, but stronger. Nice sharp finish. I really enjoyed this one. Good stuff.
