Try a Hint of Heat Hefeweizen

​For craft beer enthusiasts and true connoisseurs of the Traditional German Hefeweizen style beer, now here is an amazing new beer that has originated by the creative folks at New Paltz Brewing Co. (Pfälzerbräu). So here is a typical Hefeweizen style beer that incorporates a hint of fresh pepper heat. Habaneros and Jalapeños are incorporated in this style. As unique as it may sound, this style is gaining fast attention. Since only a controlled hint of the pepper is in this beer, it demonstrates a true beer drinking experience. A quality beer should take you on a journey from start to finish, and this beer does just that.
 
If properly poured, the aromas of the traditional Hefeweizen yeast bring out a fruity character of bananas and clove. A slight fresh pepper comes through, not to burn you up as you would if you cut your own from your pepper garden and ate a whole pepper. Remember, this is just a hint. The light fresh pepper smell is amazing coming through at the nose.
 
Now comes a first sip. You may get a slight twang to your lips –that goes away. There is a cooling sensation from the properly made Hefeweizen as a solid base to the beer, but then comes a very subtle burn to the back of your throat. That confirms the true pepper taste. Now this burn immediately contrasts with the sweet Hefeweizen base with every sip. The balance of this beer is extremely well crafted, calibrated and executed. This is definitely a beer that can perfectly be enjoyed in the hot summer day as well in the cold winter months to warm you up. Don’t underestimate the alcohol content. Be careful. You can easily drink a few of these, and at a 5.6% ABV the alcohol content also adds to the experience.  That is a standard proper ABV for this style of beer. Enjoy responsibly.

What Our Customers Are Saying

I’ve been to many breweries in The NY NJ area. I thought I was drinking some good beers and there are some good ones. New Paltz Brewing [Pfälzerbräu] however has changed my perspective on what a beer should be. Focusing specifically on German style brews, you can taste the passion and authenticity that goes into each style. The brewmaster is friendly and excited to talk to anyone about his craft in a laid back down-to-earth atmosphere. If you like mass produced yellow beers then this is probably not the place for you. Are you ready to transform your palate to a higher plateau? My friend, you found the place.
