Weizen Hammer

Tap to rate

A strong wheat beer in the German manner. Banana and pink bubblegum lead the aroma, both out of the wheat yeast, with a clove-like spice note behind them. The wheat malt gives a full, soft body and a lasting head, while the strength shows as a gentle warmth rather than a burn. Bready malt sweetness carries the middle, and the finish is long and softly sweet with the bitterness staying well back.
