Notes

"Sometimes less is more. The love2brew German Hefeweizen is a great example of what a Hefeweizen should be; simple, to the point, and delicious. Following the German purity law Reinheitsgebot this brew is only made with grains, hopes (German hops in our case), water, and yeast. Yet for such a simple brew the end result is a delicious, refreshing, tradition Hefeweizen full os esters that give a distinct banana and clove flavor and aroma. The perfect beer to have in the bottle or keg all year round!"

Purchased as a kit from Love2Brew in New Brunswick, NJ.
