Bavarian Hefe-Weizen


Description

5 Gallons Recipie | Approximate Alcohol 4% | HBU 5.7

This is a moderate alcohol, lightly bittered and hopped beer. Brewed from wheat in southern german tradition, this beer has a tart, slightly sour taste. A slight bananna and clove taste is imparted by the yeast strain. Bittering and hopping is kept to a minimum so the tart flavor of the beer can come through. A very light and refreshing beer, great in the summertime. Served chilled with much of the yeast still in the beer producing a cloudy appearance.
