Hefeweizen | Legend Brewing Company
ABV: 4.5%
Style: Hefeweizen
Actively Produced
Description: his beer's unusual name comes from the German "weiss" (wheat), and "hefe" (yeast). Therefore, a hefeweizen is an unfiltered wheat beer. Weizen beers are something of an anomaly among German beers, as they are fermented on ale yeast whereas virtually all other beers from this country are lagers.The yeast strain dominates the aroma and flavor profile in this brew. If you suspect we added banana and clove to the beer, you are simply picking up qualities of this wonderful yeast. Our Hefeweizen is mashed with a 50/50 blend of wheat malt and barley malt. The wheat portion of the mash is responsible for keeping the flavor crisp and the body light. Hallertau and Sterling hops are used minimally for balance and another dimension of spice. Expect an intense aroma of fruit (banana, apricot, citrus), and spice (clove, pepper). The initial flavor is sharp and tart, yeilding to a malty sweetness in the middle. The finish is effervescent, dry, and quenching. Legend Hefeweizen is the perfect match for light summer fare including salads, seafood, and grilled meats. Available on draft and in 12 oz. bottles all summer. 5% Alc. By Vol.
