This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.

Kegged beer after 2 weeks in primary. Very happy with the results. Will have to see how it ages.
1 week in Keg - Better than the Sierra Kellerweis

Nice gold color, clearing nicely. Flavor of hops comes through slightly, but the maltiness is what makes the beer.
