Two Brothers Ebels Weiss Beer

Brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Company
Style: German Hefeweizen
Warrenville, Illinois USA

Pours a hazy light amber color with a smallish and very white head. Clove, banana, and some citrus in the nose. Flavor was a little subdued. I have had this beer before but just never rated it and I remember it being much more tart and lively than this one was. Still, decent clove and yeast flavor to it. A pretty standard hefe in my books.

Clove, banana bread, yeast, vanilla, and orange peel. Banana, yeast, clove, and lemon in the flavor with some lemon freshness. A very decent beer, but nothing to be amazed about. Probably better on tap I would imagine.

Nice orange color, not alot of haze. Mild citrus sourness and fresh fruit is prominent with a banana bread sweetness also at the forefront. Clove complements the background without becoming cloying, as it should. Easy on the palate and refreshing.

On tap at Jimmy’s in Naperville. Has a nice slightly sweet, slighty spicy aroma. Tastes comes in sweet at first orange and lemon. finishes very smooth with a wheat, bread finish. Very pleasant

Spicy, wheaty aroma that is fairly full-nosed for a wheat beer. The body is ever-so-slightly cloudy yellow with no head. Much citrus flavor and also sourish. Wheat abound in the flavor and leads to a breadiness in the finish. It finishes slightly sweet with hints of herbs, heather and honey.

Bottle purchased from Julio’s. Best by 12/6/05. Whoops, I guess I am having this about 3-4 months later than they recommend. Please take that into consideration with this rating. Fruity, lactic yeasty nose with some floral notes and yeastiness. Somewhat grassy nose with some boiled cabbage aromas. Not the most pleasant. Moderately hazy yellow golden color with a quickly dissipating whitish head. A bit sour to start with some acetic notes and perhaps some Brett as well. Middle has biscuits and cereal. Corn silage flavors are also present. I don’t know if this was storage, or due to the 2 inches of air in the bottle, but this beer just tastes off.

Quite a tart hefe, with a lot of soft, citrus flavors, mostly lemon, but a good helping of orange, complimented by a light sweetness - the tartness reminded me more of a sour belgian that a wheat beer - a little thin on the back end - decent for the warm weather, which is all I really expect of a hefe.

From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with a blurb about brewery and a best before date, 07/08/06, on the back label. Made an average appearance, poured hazy with sediment golden hued orange with a small white head that quickly settled into a thin lacing, moderate carbonation. Had a sweet wheat malty nose with a little clove and fruity banana at the edges. A smooth, semi-crisp, watery medium body mouth feel, average drinkability. Sweet, but sour fruity wheat malty taste with banana and a subtle clove flavors, I really didn’t taste any vanilla flavoring, not much of a hop presence, just a little spiciness and a biting sour fruity malty finish, the main bitterness to this hefe weizen comes from the malts.. An o.k., middle of the road Hefe Weizen from Two Brothers, but far from my first or even tenth choice for a Hefe Weizen.
