Commercial Description:
Solstice Weiss is gently brewed, in the time honored tradition, using 60% malted wheat and a triple fermentation. This is a true Bavarian style Weiss bier. “Weiss” means white in Bavaria, which refers to the yeast that remains in our unfiltered bier. Note the brilliant white froth and subdued golden hue. Expect this bier to have a soft champagne like quality, complemented by a wheat character that sparkles with fruity tones.

I really liked this Hefe. Spicy, fruity nose and interesting flavor, with clove and coriander (???) and some more citrus fruit. Bright white head with dull golden color.

Reddish orange in color with a white head. Had a great fruity/spicy aroma. Flavor had some clove to it and a great finish.

Sampled at Dutch 70’s "Tasting in the Woods; Part Deux". Pours only slightly hazy golden with a white head. Wheat and light caramel/fruitiness in the nose - not much banana/clove though. Flavor has notes of herbal/grassy noble hops, some caramel, wheat, a little lemon and some light fruitiness. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and moderate carbonation. Somewhere in between an American Wheat and a German Hefe.

TITW Part Deux - 12oz bottle, courtesy of growler. Thanks, Scott!! Light yellow orange; pleasant white head. Beautiful aroma: bananas, cloves, and spice; overflowing. Chewy mouthfeel: plenty of sugar, bananas, vanilla, cloves and spice; slightly watery. Minimal oxidation; crisp, sweet finish. An excellent German Hefe.
