Description:
Carmelite Wheat is a beer brewed in the traditional German style of a Hefeweizen. Hints of clove spices, banana and vanilla come mainly from the yeast while the malty sweetness is subdued with high carbonation and low hop bitterness. The specific yeast strain used to ferment this beer comes from the yeast banks of the oldest brewery in the world and has been cultivated since the 11th century.

Varietal Definition
Hefe Weizen:
Weizen bier is a top fermenting beer style that originates from southern Germany, particularly Bavaria, and is brewed with at least 50% wheat in the mash. Hefe weizens are refreshing, highly carbonated beers ideal for quenching summer thirsts. They undergo secondary fermentation, often in the bottle, and the yeast strains used for this purpose impart a spicy, clove-like flavor. Hefe (the German word for yeast) on the label denotes that the bottle contains yeast sediment.
