Delicious lemon and vanilla scented wheat beer with yeast. This is an aristocratic beer with a champagne sparkle and a beautifully sustained head. With the pale color of mountain honey and tart refreshing palate, it is a "brut' beer with the delicious, complex fruitiness of extra-dry champagne. Bottle conditioned and top fermented, it is a benchmark for this style of beer. The nose is fruity-spicy, herbaceous with lots of flowers, and fruit. With such a creamy head, you can build miniature mountains that resemble the Alps. Pour slowly, fill the special Weissbier glass half full and swirl the bottle on the table to put the yeast in suspension.
This Hefeweizen style beer is best paired with German cuisine or salads, fish, and shellfish. It will also pair well with tangy style cheeses such as Brick, Edam and Feta.
