Menchacaweizen Hefeweizen - All Grain

Menchacaweizen Hefeweizen - All Grain

This 5.5% ABV German-style Hefeweizen has a classic Hef grain bill of primarily white wheat malt and German pilsen malt.  Carafoam is added for a little additional head retention.  Hersbrucker hops provide a very slight hop bitterness that does not overpower the classic malt and yeast flavors that are typical with a hefeweizen.  Choose from a dry or liquid hefeweizen yeast above that will add traditional banana and clove yeast flavors.
