Heffervess is a Weissbier/Hefeweizen recipe designed for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery. Careful attention to the brewing approach described in the notes, will result in a true-to-style German wheat beer.

Heffervess will pour pale and cloudy with an almost luminous shine from the yeast and wheat, capped with a long-lasting and pillowy white head (especially if bottle conditioned). Classic aromas and flavours of bananas and cloves will be supported by soft, bready and grainy malts and spicy, floral hops. The beer will present with a creamy, soft body and low bitterness, finishing dry and spritzy. Heffervescent!

ABV: 5.4%
