Notes
Recommended for hefeweizen, Bavarian wheat, dunkelweizen.
Character: Weizen character leaning to clove and a slight tart, dry finish.
A weizen strain that leans toward clove and a crisp, slightly tart finish rather than heavy banana, useful when you want a drier, more spice-forward German wheat beer. Keep it warm to express the phenol.
