Brewed this beer for club Octoberfest and the all new Brew at the Zoo event. It’s an excellent red Hefeweizen that people aren’t so accustomed to. Generally every hefe people enjoy around here involves white wheat and isn’t as complex. I love this beer. Used Briess red wheat and Best Malz Heidelberg(pislner) malt for a really interesting beer.
