COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Heavy Weizen explores the inner depths of creativity and craftsmanship, taking a style of ale that is delicate and quaffable and shaping it into something exuberant and sturdy. The foundation of Heavy Weizen begins with prodigious quantities of North American malted barley and wheat. Next, the finest European hops are added to complement this ale’s unique disposition by giving spicy aromas. Its spirit is forged during fermentation where our Bavarian weizen yeast consumes sugars and creates divine flavors reminiscent of bananas and cloves. Then, by aging this ale, we allow the divergent characteristics to blend together, becoming one. To capture Heavy Weizen’s spirit, this wheat ale remains unfiltered to leave some of the yeast in the bottle. Serving this ale with a wedge of lemon is recommended, but optional. 18 plato, 38 IBUs, 2-row pale malt, malted white wheat, hallertau magnum, saaz.

lusikka (2041) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 30, 2011
650 ml bottle.
Pours a golden, hazy colour with a small white head. Aroma of strong wheat, citrus and sweet caramel. Flavour of wheat, citrus, clove and sweet fruits. Light bready maltiness as well. Medium bodied, quite heavy mouthfeel with a finish of alcohol, sweet fruits and wheat. Nice one, although a fresh bottle would be better.

LiteWait (266) - New Hampshire, USA - SEP 13, 2011
Poured from a 22 oz bottle, hazy golden yellow with a lots of bubbles and spotty white head. Aroma is slight citrus and a hint of honey. Mouthfeel is full bodied with lots of floating yeast. Taste is a dull honey with some spice and malt. The finish is a mystery, it leaves the mouth flat like after licking the seal of an envelope. This could be because of the yeast. Not bad, but not great. Thanks for sharing AirForceHops.

completely opaque pale orange. nice white head, leaving some pillow clouds atop this beer. good retention, solid lacing. huge aromas of yeast, bananas, some clove, hint of citrus. I get a lot of that vanilla orange from the huge gravity, and the yeast. some solid bananas and clove. very fresh. full bodied. big and bold carbonation.
