Hefeweissen is a version of wheat beer from southern Germany. "Hefe" means with yeast. It is refreshing, light-bodied, lightly hopped, yeasty, highly effervescent, with flavor and aroma suggestive of cloves and banana. American versions are more neutral and retain the refreshing qualities of their German cousins. This kit makes either German or American style Hefeweissen depending on your yeast selection.
