Beer-a-Day #291
Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation. This difficult and labor-intensive technique adds uncommon depth and flavor complexity. Our hazy-golden hefeweizen is deeply flavorful, refreshing and perfect for a sunny day. To serve, pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest.
The sun came out today for the first time it a week.
Hazy gold with a big fluffy white head. Spicy wheat aroma. Fruity and spicy taste. For a hefeweizen I’d say this is pretty spot on.
New Glarus uses open fermentation for Dancing Man Wheat and Crack’d Wheat, the latter something of a hybrid but uses a German weiss strain.
