Two Brothers Ebels Weiss Beer

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

on tap, pours hazy golden with white head. aroma of banana citrus and lemon. flavors are wheaty, citrus, lemon, a tad banana, and leathery hop finish. good carbonation and mouth feel. solid, refreshing, drinkable, and pretty much what i was expecting. a great gateway beer for those that like blue moon. or is blue moon a great gateway beer?

Pour is deeply hazed yellow with a fluffy white head...smell is strongly banana with some interesting phenolic notes...taste is exactly as it should be...lightly spiced with coriander and clove and nice esthery banana...

I’m surprised to be the only 4 score on the page. No, it’s not my favorite beer, but I think it’s a damn good one. Being a Chicago-lander, I drink this often in the summer and spring. The aroma is subtle, but vanilla and clove yes, over a distant citrus/hop base. But I really love the mouth feel, very full and creamy whenever I’ve had it (though there may have been a bottle or two in there that came off a little watery. It’s also one of my favorite outreach beers, especially to women who normally don’t drink beer. Overall, I love this beer and I’ll keep buying it often.

Bottle: Deep murky/cloudy golden with an astronomically large head that rises and never decreases. Frothy and resilient; great looking beer. The aroma has some oxidized notes in there. Yeasty; musty basement, honey, herbal notes and very mild banana. The mouth feel is frothy and voluminous; a bit prickly as well. This was an expired bottle, by about a year, so the yeast had been gaining character. It developed a solid tartness. Fresh lemon juice, along with a nice wheat malt bite. Some subdued ripe banana is detectable under the lemon-rind tartness. There’s also a subtle honeyish background with a later touch of white pepper and an overall smooth acidity. Extremely quaffable. Nice.

I usually don’t drink hefeweizen style brews, but there is always a time for change. Not bad though. Has a slight vanilla aroma with a smooth taste.

Pretty tasty. Clear banana and bubblegum flavor, but seemed watery compared to other hefeweizens I have had.

this beer is quite beautiful when poured. nice effervescent white head with a beautiful orange color. clean mouthfeel with notes of vanilla citrus, and banana. decent, but not a hefe fan. bottle @ blackbird Chicago, Illinois

Pours a cloudy orange with basically no head. Nose is funky bananas with a spicy and very, very doughy edge. Flavor is tangy citrus. A bit too bright IMO. But still in the grand scheme of things, fairly complex. Feel has a decent carbonation and the liquid is alright. Overall this is a fairly decent hefeweizen. Won’t go down as the most interesting, but it’s certainly a noble try from an American producer.
