What the brewers say

“Classic German hefeweizen.”

What our panel thought

“Light bready and bread-dough aroma up front with a low banana ester and slight lime hint. Mild tartness morphs into a light lemon-lime note in the flavor. Banana flavors are nicely restrained by a touch of clove, while both elements balance a bready malt body. Creamy mouthfeel.”

What our editors thought

“Unfettered tropical and fruit-gum notes in the nose roll right into the sweet flavor, where they pick up a strong peppery counterpoint. Balanced, but at a rather loud volume.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Wallenpaupack Brewing Company Hawley Hefeweizen

“Excellent presentation—large, off-white, poofy head of tiny bubbles that linger. Moderately grainy bread dough kicks off the aroma, followed by subdued but balanced banana esters along with low clove and black-pepper notes. The appropriately cloudy appearance sets the stage for a soft and creamy mouthfeel that gently carries the rounded grainy sweetness. The flavor matches the aroma with a nice grainy, bready base that supports medium-low banana esters and medium black pepper and clove phenolics. Hints of light vanilla further add to a metered sweet impression that remains supremely drinkable. Overall, very nicely balanced with restraint on esters and phenolics—all of the components play very nicely together.”

Wektenburger Kloster Hefeweisbier

“This beer pours beautifully with a billowing white head and a hazy straw color. The aroma is light on fruity esters and clove, while showing woody and herbal hops aroma. Tart wheat flavor in the initial sip, with subtle hefe character. A sweet, filling beer.”

Fly Llama Brewing Bridget

“A very pillowy mouthfeel comes with the first sip. Flavors of lemon and orangeade, with an orange soda–like feel from the carbonation. Very nicely balanced with a subtle bitterness tempered with a toasty sweet crispness. A peppery cinnamon note comes into play as it warms. A fun twist on a classic style.”
