If you dream of wheat this brew will get your toes tapping. Since 1995 we have brewed Bavarian style wheat beers exclusively for the same great state that grows and malts our own Wisconsin wheat. In a world full of posers this is a true hefe-weizen naturally 100% bottle fermented and hazy.
Expect this beer to cascade effervescent into your glass. The rich spicy clove and cinnamon notes will greet your nose while sweet fruit and wheat kisses your lips.
Lick the foam from your mouth and admit sometimes you just gotta get up and dance.

[1] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (9/25/2008 3:32:29 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color wheat with a medium foamy head with average retention and some minimal lacing. Aroma of cloves are dominating with some discernable wheat and overall a quite big malt base. Taste is a mix between some cloves and some big malt base and is not as close to the style as I was expecting. Either there is too much wheat and the beer is veering toward a wheat wine or maybe there is too much barley but I thought the malt base was too sweet for the style and didn’t provide enough refreshment. Also, at the risk of sounding too traditional, I would have like if more banana ester would have showed. Definitely not the best weizen out there and probably over rated and not the best beer from a very good brewer."

[2] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/10/2008 6:58:47 PM)
"This one courtesy of the Wisconsin beer guru pfoxyjohn. Pours a hazy yellow with a nice white fluffy head and good lacing. Very good carbonation. Aromas of sweet wheat and ripe bananas with some Juicy Fruit gum. Tatse is sweet malty wheat ecstasy with a nice wheat base and a fruity - banana - and bubble gum base. Maybe the best hefe I've had. Excellent and leaves me wanting more of this sweet wheat nectar."

[3] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/12/2007 1:30:10 PM)
"Finally, an american made German hefe that I can enjoy. I've had so many piss poor "American" wheats that I've almost given up hope that Americans can make a good hefe. Well they can and they brew it at New Glarus!
The beer pours out a hazy yellowish/orangy/gold color, big fluffy white cap. Aroma...sweet bananas, allspice, cloves. Flavors are suprisingly devoid of any banana, but it does have a fantastic light fleshy fruit character, strong wheat/cracker flavor, yeasty with a healthy dose of cloves to finish it. Fantastic beer. Loved every drop of it. Kudos to New Glarus. Every freakin' beer they make seems to be fantastic."

[4] Review by BeerHunter from Green Bay, WI, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/30/2007 9:05:50 PM)
"This one poured a nice golden color with a thick frothy head. It had a pleasent hoppy floral aroma with a flavor not unlike candy. It had a nice level of sweetness, while retaining a nice malt profile. Went down real smooth.
I had this one at 8:00pm central time on September 30th, during the Nationwide Toast to honor the late beer writer Michael Jackson."

[5] Review by beerguy101 from Newark, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/13/2007 7:55:21 PM)
"This German Hefeweizen pours a slightly hazy orange gold color from a 12oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is spicy, wheat, clove and cinnamon. A medium bodied German Style Hefeweizen. Malts are wheaty, fruity and sweet. There is no real banana and clove flavors in this one. Hops are spicy and floral. Nice balance. Light and refreshing, this beer does a good job of hiding the 7.2% alcohol. I can see a more than a few people dancing (or stumbling) around after a few of these. Nice use of spices, you know they are there, but overall they just add to the flavors, not be one of the flavors. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. "
