SIERRA NEVADA KELLERWEIS HEFEWEIZEN
12 FL. OZ., ALC 4.8% BY VOL.
Brewed and Bottled by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., Chico, CA

FROM THE LABEL: "Kellerweis is deeply complex, with flavors reminiscent of ripe banana and spicy clove. This hazy-golden beer glows with suspended yeast crafting a velvety texture. To serve pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest."

FROM THE MOUTH: HEFEWEIZEN:  Spicy, yeasty and tart. Can not taste the banana nor any citrus (a usual Hefe taste) just cloves and heavy yeast- perhaps a tartness from light lemon. Cloves are full-on in the finish, mixing with a bit of hop note, but mostly it is full on attack of cloves and I have learned that I do not like the heavy yeast beers. Not my favorite but for those who like high yeast/clove beers you may want to give this a go, but I will not have it again. C
