The usual suspects you would normally find in a weizen: bready malt, cloves, citrus, bananas and something very unique...chamomile! Yes chamomile. This beer is brewed with that tea-friendly flower, chamomile. You can notice it in the smell but it's in no way overpowering nor does it detract in any way from the smell. Rather it lends a nice subtle spiciness. Read More »

After such an interesting bouquet the flavor doesn't disappoint. Right off the bat the lime jumps out at you and grabs a hold of your taste buds and doesn't let go throughout the entire drink. Read More »

Starts off with nice toffee sweetness picked up from the caramel malts along with soft bread-like yeast flavor that helps mellow out the sweetness. The light flavors that kicked this beer off gave way to a slight bitter hoppy profile. The earthy bitterness continues to the finish leaving you with a somewhat dry aftertaste. Read More »
