Notes

One of the signature brews of Bavaria, Hefeweizen is a medium-bodied, effervescent ale practically exploding with yeast and wheat malt character — kind of like a liquid multigrain bread. Traditional — cloudy, malty, and spicy, with a smooth mouthfeel and dense, whipped cream head. Serve in a tall glass “mithefe”— swirl the bottle to make sure you get all the yeast!
