Brewing a hefeweizen has been on our minds since moving in. The huge, fruity aromas of bruised banana and fragrant cloves along the lightly tart, refreshing finish of a well brewed wheat beer is undeniably enjoyable. We used 5 different types of wheat in this brew, adding to just over 40% of the total malt content. Using Crystal and Midnight What Malts introduced some sweeter caramel and roasty flavours and also brought this Hefe to the Dunkel side (dunkel is German for dark). This batch is more of a caramel or toffee coloured unfiltered wheat beer, leaving room for future brews to dial up the colour. The yeast that fermented this ale is a historic German Hefeweizen yeast strain, and the resulting flavours and aromas speak well to the style. Dunkel Weiss pours a hazy amber brown into your glass building a fluffy eggshell colored foam that. The beer underneath is lively glowing caramel brown with amber gold highlights. The aroma opens up with mashed bananas and brisk clove, but fades into pie crust and light sensations of brown sugar. It is light in body and ends with a slightly tart crisp finish that is quick and refreshing.
