A light, approachable ale with minimal complexity.

A bready, doughy, refreshing yet flavorful beer inspired by the German Weißbier (Hefeweizen). Instead of the banana and clove character that balances malt sweetness in German versions, American brewers favor hop bitterness and aroma to create balance and drinkability. More hop character and less yeast character than their German cousins.
