Sierra Nevada Kellerweis
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.

After last year, I’ve been rather reticent to write up a beer tasting. But, well, the weather is getting rather “Spring-y” out there and, well, I’ve never seen this at my retailer. It’s a great time for a bock. They say: As winter begins its slide toward the sunny days of spring, we bring you

Beer-a-Day #289 Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale is a big American IPA; bold, assertive and full of flavor and aromas highlighting the complex citrus, pine and herbal character of whole-cone American hops. I’d been hearing a lot about this beer, but I wasn’t seeing it at any of my local retailers. I’m glad it came into

Beer-a-Day #248 Golden and clear with a big white head. Floral and lightly spicy. Flavor is crisp and not overpowering. This may be the best hefe I’ve ever had.

Beer-a-Day #231 Yellowish-orange with a prodigious white head which dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is light, with a little pineapple and “wheatiness”. Flavor is a little…well, not bland exactly. “Understated” seems like a good word.

Beer-a-Day #212 The standard by which all other wheat beers are judged. Our deliciously deranged American-Style Hefeweizen is an award winning take on this Bavarian classic. This refreshingly unfiltered wheat ale delivers a distinctively smooth flavor worth sharing with friends. There were huge delays on the commuter train today, giving me the opportunity to stand

Beer-a-Day #192 Well, what do you know? For all that I like Flying Dog and all that I like wheat beers (Hi Max!), I’ve never written this one up. And, since Cork 57 was doing a promotion for the Flying Dog tasting the other day, I picked up a six-pack. She taunts and teases… In-Heat

Beer-a-Day #181 Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality ‘Weisswurst’ or white sausage.

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.
