Summit Hefe Weizen
January 28th thru February 3rd
Brewer's Description
Summit Hefe Weizen bier (hay-fa-vite-zen beer) means "wheat beer with yeast." Originally brewed in Bavaria, it's now a traditional brew in Europe thanks to its light, elegant taste. After being filtered, a bit of German brewer's yeast is left behind to keep it fresh. This also gives it a cloudy appearance.
Made with 2-Row Harrington and Wheat Malt (66%), and Williamette, Fuggle, and Tettenanger Hops. It's 4.9% alcohol and 14 IBUs.

This beer became a new favorite for me this summer. I’ve been drinking it for quite some time, but I don’t think I fully appreciated it until recently. It pours a nice cloudy pale yellow with a rocky white head. I smell bread and weizen yeast, a bit of clove and some bubblegum. Much of the same comes through in the flavor - a decent yeasty profile with equal parts clove and banana. Ever-so-slightly tart. Yum. This beer is an easy, easy drinker. Definitely a new summer favorite.
