Mad Brewers: Hoppy Hefe | Malt Shovel Brewery
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: 35
Style: Wheat Wine
Out of Production
Description: Oh those Lazy days of the hot Australian summer. It can mean only one thing…. you guessed it, another limited release beer from those crazy Malt Shovel Mad Brewers. Having focussed their energy on brewing plenty of the finest James Squire beers for the Christmas and New Year festivities, come February it’s time to have a little fun with our summer release. At my urging, this year they have turned their attention to the wheat beer style, but typically it is not a classic wheat style that will be offered up by our Mad Brewers team. Brewers Rob Freshwater and Dayton Coffey have combined to craft a wheat beer with serious attitude. The name says it all. Hefeweizen, is a traditional German wheat beer style, “hefe” being a prefix meaning yeast (some yeast retained). Our Hoppy Hefe however, is a cloudy wheat beer brewed with an outrageous late hop addition creating a strong fruity -citrus hop aroma. While also taking some inspiration for extremes from those “beardy-weirdy” American hop-head brewers, our team, as usual, were not content to follow the plan and stick to using only U.S. hops, nor to use traditional German wheat yeast. The result of their labours is a 7% alcohol by volume mongrel of a wheat beer with no claim to nationality, but one that will happily back pack its way around Australia this summer. Malt: Pale and light crystal barley malts and 45% wheat malt Hops: Citra and Motueka
