Vision Weiss Brewed with a combination of wheat and barley, weiss beers are among the most distinctive ales made in the world. Combining a light palate with a rich body and fruity tones, weiss beers are enjoyed both as transition beers and as a special treat for enthusiasts. Our Weiss combines wheat, Munich malt and American 2-Row malt. The system we use limits us to a single infusion mash at about 153° F. However, our mash tun (by Specific Mechanical) is great. It’s almost impossible to get a stuck run-off. The hops used are Mount Hood and Tettenanger added in two additions, the latest being at 15 before the end of the boil. The yeast is the new Wyeast Weizen strain. Predictably, it performed well at about 64 to 66° F, producing a light clove and lemon aroma gently laced with banana. We serve this absolutely unfined (and, of course, unfiltered). It is put into kegs instead of a serving tank to conserve tank space; and because of this the yeast was falling out before the tank was done, causing the Weisen to be too clear. Now the bartenders merely roll each keg before it is tapped, distributing plenty of tasty yeast to please the “mit hefe” lovers.
