Widmer Brothers Brewing

Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen presents as a quintessential naturally cloudy wheat ale, bridging the gap between traditional Bavarian roots and American craft sensibilities. The appearance is a pale, hazy gold topped by a resilient, moussy white head. On the nose, a foundation of bready, doughy wheat is elevated by pronounced citrus and floral hop aromas, subtly shifting the focus from the traditional banana and clove profile. The palate is bold yet exceptionally clean, featuring soft wheat malt sweetness balanced by low bitterness and a crisp, spritzy finish. This refreshing brew offers a fluffy mouthfeel that highlights its vibrant carbonation and high drinkability.

Appearance. Color is pale gold (approx. 4 SRM). Naturally cloudy with a distinct haze from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. It features a thick, moussy, long-lasting white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a dominant bready, doughy, and grainy wheat character. Notable citrus and floral hop aromas are present alongside moderate banana esters and light clove phenols. No DMS, diacetyl, or sulfur present.

Taste. Initial impression is a soft, bready wheat flavor supported by grainy sweetness. Moderate banana and clove flavors are well-integrated. Low to moderate floral and citrus hop flavor is present. Bitterness is low, leading to a well-rounded palate and a clean, relatively dry finish without being harsh.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a fluffy, creamy fullness on the tongue. High carbonation provides an effervescent and spritzy sensation. No alcohol warmth or astringency is perceived.
