IN-HEAT WHEAT HEFEWEIZEN
Description
ABV (Alcohol by Volume): 4.7%
IBUs (International Bitterness Units): 12
Specialty Malts: Malted White Wheat, Munich Malt
Hops: German Perle
Process: Unfiltered for added flavor
Beer Style: Hefeweizen
Appearance: Opaque (from yeast), yellow color and a rich, lingering head with noticeable
lace.
Aroma: Spicy, clove and nutmeg-like aroma with hints of banana and vanilla.
Taste: Spicy-banana character carries through in the taste. Perceived sweetness (due to
the brain being 'tricked' by the spicy and banana aromas that are reminiscent of sweet
dishes) even though In-Heat Wheat is a dry beer. Perceived sweetness also due to low
hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability: Medium - light body, but fuller mouthfeel from yeast. Finishes
slightly sweet with minimal bitterness.
Interesting Facts
A south German style of wheat beer (weissbier) made with a typical ratio of two thirds
wheat mats and one third barley malts. This beer style display unique flavors because of
a special yeast used in fermentation. These "weizen" yeasts are unlike those used in
making lagers or regular ales because they accentuate clove and fruity flavors
Little hop bitterness, and an average level of alcohol. The "Hefe" prefix means "with yeast",
hence the beers unfiltered and cloudy appearance.
The CEO of Flying Dog brewery, Eric Warner, literally wrote the book on this beer style.
