Hefeweizen is a much celebrated ale style from Bavaria – and is literally translated as “yeast – wheat”. These weissbiers are perfect for a summer thirst quencher, as they are typically light bodied with low hop bitterness. Our Hefeweizen features the characteristic banana and clove ester, which is first evident in the aroma, them in the flavour. Some residual sweetness balances the tartness of the wheat, and is them complimented by subtle spicy notes from the hop flowers grown in the Hallertau region of Bavaria.

    A good example of why one needs to try more than one bottle if possible, before reviewing. My first bottle offered a tired, hollow beer, missing a lot of the advertised characteristics. The second bottle was far better, with subtler, fresher notes. A: Hazy pale orange, through to a dark lemon around the edges. Can force a thick white head yet it fades fairly quickly to a loose web of foam. S: Wheat malt, honey, pear flesh, cloves. Fleshy yeast notes. F: Green pear flesh again, some unripe citrus notes. Late herbal bitterness. M: Lightly creaminess at the start, but generally lightweight and watery from mid to-back. Subtle sourness/tartness, with a late bitterness at the back. D: Not for me. I'm fairly conservative with my hefes.... Weihenstephaner, Schneider Weiss... and Redback from an Aussie angle. Many micros attempt the style, but seem to miss one of the critical dimensions. For this beer, I would like some more creamy, wheaty sweetness, and a body to match. Or even some more pale crystal.
