Kaleetan has a wheat base. Instead of going for the typical American hefe, we added a significant amount of flavor and aroma hops, using hops that have lemon qualities. At the end of the boil we threw in a bunch of lemon zest. Kaleetan was then fermented with a Belgian Wheat yeast to add another layer of complexity. The result was a smooth drinking lemonweizzen that has smooth lemon notes in the aroma. It’s slightly hoppy, but much of the hop character complements and is hidden inside the lemon aromas.
