KC Bier Co. Hefeweizen

Hefeweizen by KC Bier Co. was reviewed as a 10A German Wheat Beer as defined by the Beer Judge Certification Program’s style guidelines revised edition of 2015. Poured from a 12-ounce bottle into a 22-ounce wheat beer glass.

A Hefeweizen by all accounts. Pale yellow in color and lightly cloudy as per style with a very fine bead that exploded into the glass on initial pour and supported a tightly knit head.

The aroma was reminiscent of freshly baked wheat bread with a plethora of fruity esters and clove phenols that are typical byproducts of a beer fermented with a pure Bavarian yeast strain.

The absence of hops allows the delicate wheat flavor to manifest itself and marry with the clove phenols and banana esters to create a flavorful complexity of ingredients to the drinker.

Alcohol was in the medium range and the body a bit thin as is typical with beers brewed using higher levels of wheat.

A refreshing full flavor example of the style that is particularly enjoyable on a hot summer night.
