Your Label Peelers Original Hefeweizen Beer Kit Recipe is typical of the style. It is a south German style of wheat beer (weissbier) made with a typical ratio of 50:50, or even higher wheat. The yeast produces unique phenolic flavors of banana and cloves with an often dry and tart edge, some spiciness, bubblegum or notes of apples. There is little hop bitterness and a moderate level of alcohol. The "Hefe" prefix means "with yeast", hence the beers unfiltered and cloudy appearance. Poured into a traditional Weizen glass, the Hefeweizen can be one sexy looking beer.
