Arbeiter Hefe Weizen Wheat Ale

 Arbeiter Hefe Weizen.

5.6 % ABV, 12 IBU. Arbeiter Brewing, Minneapolis, MN. 


Hazy, bright golden hue, healthy slab of ivory froth atop. 

In the nose: Sweet and wheat. Citrus, banana, clove. 

In the mouth: Slight sweetness kicks it off, with flavors of fruit and wheat. Exceptionally smooth and delightful. Banana/clove combo lurks just below the touch of citrus. Minor hops, major drinkability. Vanilla? (So, I peeked at their description before finishing my notes, so sue me.) Maybe. Yeah, sure. Exceptionally refreshing. 

Hefeweizen. German Wheat Beer

ABV 5.6% | 12 IBU

Is it officially summer when the temperature hits 90 degrees and Arbeiter releases their hefeweizen? Hell yeah it is! This incredibly delicious, crushable hefe has all those flavor characteristics you’ve come to love like banana, vanilla, and clove.

Aroma: As the yeast does, the smooth aroma is full of clove, banana, and vanilla notes.

Flavor: Welcoming notes of vanilla, banana sweetness perfectly balanced by a rich and smooth clove spiciness.

Allergens: Wheat
