DreamWeaver Wheat
Ripe banana, spicy clove and subtle black pepper come off an open-top fermentation, where a rocky yeast head crests the sides of the fermenter at high krausen. Unfiltered and cloudy with yeast, it is slightly tart and refreshing. Malted wheat makes up 55% of the malt bill, joined by Pilsner and Vienna malts, German Northern Brewer hops and German wheat yeast. 4.8% ABV, hazy gold, brewed year round. Gold at the 2012 Great American Beer Festival.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for DreamWeaver Wheat
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.
