Bauhaus Brew Lab Debuts The Wheat Sweats Hefewiezen
A refreshing Bavarian-style Hefeweizen that Bauhaus Head Brewer Matt Schwandt has perfected over a multi-year stretch. This thirst-quenching, lightly hopped brew features a distinctive banana-and-clove yeast character and a soft, slightly grainy-sweet malt character.
A significant portion of German-grown wheat malt yields a thick, mousse-like white head as well as a hazy appearance. Served “mit hefe” (“with yeast”), the weizen yeast contributes to the beer’s haziness in addition to the distinctive flavor profile.
Finishing dry, light, and spritzy, this is a beer that is begging to be consumed in large(ish) quantities this Spring and is basically a cool-down sesh in a can.
