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.

Opaque yellow-beige with no head. THe aroma has plasticy phenols, glue, marshmallow with light limey fruitiness. Fresh fruity taste with lime, orange. This has a pithy bitterness and nice wheaty taste. It finishes bitter with lots of fresh grapefruit character. Nice - the nose is rough but it tastes good. Finishes with a touch of sweetness, almost like a peach yoghurt.
