A dark, bavarian-style wheat beer, our RoggenWeizen is a twist of the renowned Bavarian Dunkelweizen, which is a dark wheat beer. Roggen is the German word for 'rye' and weizen means 'wheat'. This beer is made with 20% wheat malt, 20% rye malt and is brewed with a special yeast that tends to stay in suspension, giving the beer its cloudy appearance. Bavarians are so convinced of the healthful qualities of this yeasty brew that doctors there are known to prescribe two Hefeweizens a day to feeble patients. The yeast used for this brew also imparts its unique spicy, clovey flavour. Some people even detect a slight banana flavour. All of these wacky flavours are the natural 'signature' left by this specific yeast strain during its fermentation of the beer and no additional spices are added.
