Tasting Notes
CloveeffervescentBanana
From the folks behind arguably one of the city’s best beer bars, brewing and packaging at their new facility on Kempt Rd., Stillwell Brewing made its name fermenting and blending traditional oak-aged farmhouse ales but recently has focused its efforts on crafting staple styles for the home market, beers like Pils, Bitter and Kölsch. Top notch lagers and ales to enjoy with friends, or hog to yourself.
Tasting Notes
Stilly Weisse is a 5.2% abv Bavarian-style pale wheat beer designed to session or to refresh the palate. Following the traditions of Bavaria, the beer is brewed with 70% malted wheat, is decoction mashed for maximum foam and texture, and receives a careful, slow fermentation in the cellar to perfectly balance the classic banana and clove aromas and flavours. Prost!
Method
Arguably one of the most recognizable beer styles, the German-style hefeweizen offers a unique beer experience thanks to the use of wheat malt, unique yeast and uncharacteristic appearance. The refreshing qualities of this highly-carbonated style have kept it alive for centuries. The German-style hefeweizen is straw to amber in colour and brewed with at least 50 percent malted wheat. The aroma and flavour of a weissbier comes largely from the yeast and is decidedly fruity (banana) and phenolic (clove). The intensity of these wildly differing flavour qualities varies depending on the brewer, but the two are most commonly balanced.
