Collaboration between Weihenstephan (made by them) and Sierra Nevada, this is a Hefeweizen, 14.5°P, hopped to 35 IBU with Chinook and Amarillo (IIRC.) A thoroughly enjoyable beer. What really surprised me (besides the American influenced bigness) was that the hops are not more of a presence -- this is decidedly a Hefeweizen in character. Two things occurred to me: 1) maybe it's a bit oxidized and the aroma has been compromised a bit, and 2) maybe these hops just play so well with the yeast, that the hoppiness IS there, and I'm misidentifying it as part of the yeast character. So then comes the big idea somebody's got to try now: Hefeweizen yeast in a big, juicy NEIPA (maybe skip the ferulic rest though?) Why not back up that fruit with some spice, and get extra haze to boot? Anyway, this is a nice summer beer, if a bit dangerous at 6% ABV yet crushable.
