Summit Hefe Weizen

Formerly brewed at Summit Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

Serve in Weizen

12 oz. bottle served in lager glass- poured transparent enlightened yellow of hints of copper and brown, low carbonation (to be expected from this brewery), small inmeasureable head atop the liquid surface. Aroma of wheat and a faint note of bananas. Hits the mouth with a low-medium body, the malt is there but unexpectedly banana and clove crash the party, middle holds up fine, finish has a unique banana/malt/clove twing to it. At least it’s all tied together! And this is the brew for this weekend’s party...

12 oz bottle: Aroma is yeast, banana, clove, slight bubble gum notes, and a light wheatiness. Appearance is clear golden pour with a slight tinge of straw small head that diminishes into a soapy white film. Taste is mostly the wheat, slight clove, banana and bubble gum are more subdued in the taste. Palate is quite carbonated and has a lingering wheat aftertaste that stays around for a while. Overall, Really nice aroma, taste is alright. Appearance could be better and palate leaves something to be desired. Drinkable but not a really good hefe at all. Cheers!

This is a very good hefe weizen beer and one of my favorites from Summit (so far). It has little carbonation and medium body.

Cloudy orange pour with light, dusted white head. Aroma of is estery, of bananas, yeast, some grass, some wheat. Flavor is light with notes of perfume, apricot, banana, yeast, Citrus in the finish. Mouthfeel is fine, nothing special .Alright.

12 oz bottle-pours a rich white head that laces and hazy yellow color. Aroma is clove, earthy, light/medium malt. Taste is clove/nutmeg, earthy-maybe slight chocolate, spice hops. OK carbonation. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a small frothy white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is clove, banana, and citrus. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. Thin mouthfeel with a banana and lemon zest with a nice dry finish. Very refreshing, a good hefe from Summit.

12oz shorty bottle. Tan-orange color, with only some faint haze, underneath a respectable white head. Sweet, malt dominated aroma with some Hefe-yeast qualities seeping through. Some candy sugar orange flavors, pretty sweet and sugary for the style. The low ABV allows it to still be mellow, but I find this one sort of misses the mark. Cloying sweet finish. Not a good example of the style.

Not always my favorite style, but they do a pretty good job with it. Pretty typical flavors, a bit of citrus, some banana, some clove, etc. etc. Finishes sweet.
