This German Hefeweizen features an extended mash program and a careful fermentation profile yielding a delightfully hazy beer. We taste mellow notes of spicy clove, banana, a hint of bubble gum, and a kiss of earthly hops wrapped up in a creamy mouthfeel and an airy body.
Despite the need to replenish our thirst-quenching Hefe, Dreamer, we snuck a small portion away from this week's batch and dry-hopped it with Mandarina Bavaria. Atop classic Hefeweizen notes of banana and spice, this unique hop has mouthwatering aromas of noble spice, white needle tea, tangerine peel, and lemon honey. Mandarina Bavaria is as delicious as it sounds. This hop is a distinctly European take on American hops. Its lineage is actually derived from American Cascade, but it presents as much more delicate than what you might expect. Usually found as a supporting character in aromatic blends, we wanted to showcase it on its own alongside traditional Hefeweizen esters.
What would it taste like if you could can a summer cloud? ☁️☀️ Dreamer is our smooth, velvety German Hefeweizen, with creamy notes of banana and a hint of clove! It always gives us pause how rich the fruity notes are in this historical style, yet with none of its most distinctive flavor coming from hops or a fruit adjunct. The creamy quality from a wheat-heavy grist melds perfectly with the yeast’s natural esters and tropical phenols. These beers have been made since at least the 1500s, while bananas did not reach Germany as a commercial import until the 1900s. Imagine the public’s surprise when tasting the fruit for the first time and exclaiming, “This tastes like beer?!” Don't miss it.
We Dream of Hefezeizen. Dreamer is our classic Hefeweizen, representing the magic of fermentation. It astounds us that this historical yeast produces such sweet banana notes seemingly out of thin air. Crushable, flavorful, and elegant, Dreamer is a spectacular warm-weather beer. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us@profoto
