About

A big top cropper and a low flocculator, with banana, light pear, apple/plum, clove and vanilla. Another great wheat beer option with a more complex aroma relative to Hefeweizen Ale I (OYL-021). Up the esters with higher temperatures, wort density and lower pitch rate, or keep muted at lower temperatures to show clove. Sulfur conditions out.

Flavor Profile

Complex aroma with banana, light pear, apple/plum, clove and vanilla. Big top cropper. Temperature controls ester vs clove balance.
