Left Handed Giant Hefeweizen
Left Handed Giant's Hefeweizen comes from the brewpub team's fondness for brewing the classics: a traditional German-style wheat beer with more than sixty percent wheat in the grist and an authentic yeast strain. That yeast brings notes of banana and clove, joined by a delicate lemon note on a refreshing finish. The beer is 5.0%, vegan, and has been part of the brewpub range since 2020.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Left Handed Giant Hefeweizen
Slightly warmer than a lager — 8–12°C allows the banana and clove esters from the yeast to fully develop.
Tall and narrow at the base, flaring at the top — designed to hold the abundant foam of a wheat beer while showcasing its hazy golden body.
Best fresh. The yeast-driven banana and clove character fades over time. Drink within 4 months.
