Our roggen weizen is a stronger version of a German hefeweizen with rye malt added. The beer contains 20% malted rye as well as malted wheat and barley. The rye gives the beer a distinctive sweet flavor and aroma. We used a Bavarian yeast strain that gives the beer banana and bubble gum-like flavors and aromas. We used German Perle hops in very small amounts so the flavors of the rye, wheat, and yeast predominate. This beer is not filtered and cloudy in appearance, but still very refreshing.
