Commercial Description:
Authentic wheat beer, brewed in the Southern German tradition, won the Silver Medal in 1997 and the Gold Medal at the 2000 in GABF.. Penn Weizen is top-fermented, cask-conditioned, and very effervescent with a slight hint of tangy clove flavor.

Leave the Weizens to the Germans to brew.

On tap at KSBF ’08. Hazy gold body topped by a small head. Lemony citrus nose. Tastes of lemon and earth. A little different but very good.

Tried this at beerfest, number 13. Read it was a great beer from the Mens Journals I read. Unfortunitly, I can’t taste any more due to being drunk. This wheat beer added to my enjoyable time. I wouldn’t mind having it again to give it a better chance at representing itself.

Poured a hazy yellow color with a big white head. Aroma was lots of spices, tons of cloves. The flavor is so clovey it almost tastes like a ham beer, not too great.

Pours a murky yellow orange with a one to two finger frothy white head. The nose is wheaty, lightly sour, some lemongrass, clove, banana, very estery. The flavor is similar, clove and banana esters, a little ctirus peel bite, wheaty. Crisp mouthfeel. Not bad, drinkable.

12 oz bottle from LooseCannon. Muddy gold with a slight white head. Nice banana and clove scent over solid wheat. Flavor is yeasty fruity, spicy clove and banana with touches of lemon. Tasty - and this is a style I’m not crazy about. Nice medium body, soft, with a pretty clean finish. Good.
