What Our Editors Thought

“A muted nose blunts the initial impact, and an American hand at hopping offers a bit more bitterness as the mild herbal notes overpower the yeast. It’s not bitter, per se, but more firm than flowe

What Our Panel Thought

“On the surface, this is a standard hefeweizen, with all the standard elements: phenol, ester, and wheat malt. But the ester profile slips sideways, with more cherry and citrus than banana. A moderate tartness blends with a higher-than-average hopping level, suggesting American pale ale.”

What the Brewers Say

Its pronounced citrus and floral aromas are what define American-style Hefeweizen.”
