From Beeripedia the Beer Wiki

Samuel Adams Hefeweizen has been described as... an unfiltered wheat ale, fruity, bright, with a crisp flavor of wheat.

About the Beer

Samuel Adams Hefeweizen beer is a traditional spin on a classic American craft brewing style. The brewers of Samuel Adams used both malted and unmalted wheat, and two row Pale barley for a clean malty, cereal note. This bright, fruity wheat ale is unfiltered, retaining a natural haze from malt proteins, crisp, bright flavors of wheat, and fresh, fruity ester complexity from our proprietary ale yeast. Accentuated with Noble Spalt-Spalter hops, Samuel Adams Hefeweizen has an elegant and pleasant bitterness, finishing smooth and clean.

History of the Beer

This beer was created for the Samuel Adams Brewmaster's Collection in 2004, a line of beers designed with a focus on traditional beer styles and innovation around world classics, showcasing the brewers' art. Our brewers selected malted and unmalted wheat, and Noble Spalt-Spalter hops for this world class Hefeweizen, unfiltered - true to the style.

About the Brewing

Brewed with two row Harrington malt, wheat malt, and unmalted wheat. It is also 100% unfiltered, leaving our ale yeast and its fruity fresh taste in place as well as a slight haze of proteins. These proteins are prone to settling out to the bottom of the bottle, so we recommend gently swirling this beer between sips, especially towards the bottom.
