COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Summit Hefe Weizen is brewed with a high percentage of malted wheat, then a small amount of authentic German weizen yeast is left behind to help maintain its brewery freshness. And that’s what accounts for Hefe Weizen’s unique cloudy appearance.

Bottle. Hazy orange straw pour with a white head. Nice clove and wheat aroma. Taste is less notable - similar to the aroma but not spectacular.

A-pours a cloudy pale straw yellow color with a relatively tight white head leaving nice lace on the glass. S-the nose is quite strong, wheat, lemon, spicy clove. T-this has a nice amount of wheat and lemon, notes of banana. touch of spicy clove in the back, just a bit watery. M-very syrupy, thick body with a little bit of a lack of carbonation to balance that out. smooth on the palate and creamy. D-big bold flavors with just a hint of watered down flavor in the back. lacks carbonation which detracts a little but other than that a solid hefe.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - APR 24, 2010
Bottled at Monk’s Café Walingatan, Stockholm. Hazy deep golden, minimal head. Aroma of ripe banana. Mid sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel and medium body. Lightly spicy with notes of toffee. Low bitterness. Quite refreshing. A correct weizen, but nothing great.

Bottle Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. Aroma is sweet, orange, metal. Flavor is citrus, honey, bit of clove and wheat. This was quite a bit too sweet for a hefe.

Looks like a typical macro oddly enough. Dark gold color in appearance. Some spice aroma, yeast and citrus. Flavor is similar; some spice and citrus with a barely detectable menthol/mint aftertaste on the tongue. Overall, this an average hefe in my opinion.

EHopper (427) - Minnesota, USA - DEC 5, 2009
Tasted at Beer Dabbler event in St. Paul. For some reason I really like Hefe Weizen. This one just didn’t work for me. A bit too sweet, a bit too flowery, and especially a bit too mediciney, maybe even a copper taste like blood.
