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.

Hefeweizens rate in my top 5 favorite brews. I was able to justify drinking them all year long in San Diego, so I had alot of them. This is one of my favorites. Well balanced, without the overpowering cloves that many have, and not needing a lemon to hide overpowering sweetness. Summit, I heart you.
