"The result was a very easy-to-drink ale ... "

Beer Brewed: American Wheat Ale
Comments: I used this yeast to brew a special beer for my girlfriend's college graduation party - it really delivered. It produced a very slight banana note, little to no clove or sulphur, and a slight haze. The fermentation temperature was about 72 degrees. The result was a very easy-to-drink ale that won over several homebrew critics.

"Slight haze, as expected"

Beer Brewed: Maple Wheat Ale
Brewery Name: Hirneisen Brau
Comments: Clean fermenting yeast. One vial into 2 qt starter for 10 gallons. OG 1.045. Fermented 65 to 70 deg range. no immediately noticeable banana, clove, or other notes. Yeast seemed to annunciate the hop flavor a bit too. Slight haze, as expected. Fyi, yeast stalled part way and racking it re-started the fermentation.

" ... would make a fine American wheat beer"

Beer Brewed: American Style White Beer (Blue Moon Type)
Comments: Good example of an American wheat. I chose to use this strain when trying to make a clone of Blue Moon for some friends of mine. I fermented at about 72F and I can pick up the banana in the final beer, but it isn't very strong. There is NO detectable clove and very little to no Sulfur. The final product is pretty hazy, but not really cloudy. I don't think the yeast choice was correct for what I was trying to do, but it would make a fine American wheat beer.
