Version 4 of the Hefeweisen series is going with a name from a language that I've never heard of, Hausa, from the African continent. I will try this with Wheat 3 ways! Also, I want to see what happens with biotransformation with this strain of yeast.

This recipe was cloned from Le Patronweizen.

Tasting Notes (2)

Notes:

Blackberry puree - pours 1.5 fingers of dense foam and dark orange, almost purple color. Aroma is candy sweetness with a pretzel-like character, then there is some peach in there too. Flavor is very strong peach with chocolate on the back end. Body is medium density and then pretty soft with nucleation. Overall, this is a great beer that I would brew again on a larger scale. It's surprising that the blackberries yield a peach flavor and there's not much bitterness. 4 stars as it's so novel.

Notes:

Pours a golden orange with 2.4 fingers of long lasting foam. Aroma is fairly light mix of yeasty clove and spice, floral hop, and bread dough. Flavor is a slightly toasty bread dough followed by just a touch of yeasty clove and orange. Mouthfeel is medium due to carbonation and sharp due to nucleation. Overall, I think this is a great American Wheat, which is what I'm entering it as in a soon to be held competition. I wish it didn't have the toasty flavor, which must be from the crystal. 4 stars for being great but not perfect.
