Wow is all I have to say. That's it.Not really. But I was really pleased with Wisconsonite. I have been looking for this and waiting for a trip to Woodman's to pick up some, which I did, along with an New Glarus favorite (which will be reviewed here shortly!)
You get your share of wheat beers, some unfiltered, and you can taste the wheat and some of the other fun flavors in those, but this one has that authentic Weiss beer taste, along with all the fun stuff you get with Weiss beers, but without all the head and the alcohol. I know, this is not such a bad thing, but this one being a session beer really makes a difference, with some bold tastes and a little sourness yet a good balance. Unfiltered too, it is really appropriately labeled a summer beer.
I think they may be served to identify it as a Weiss beer not made in Germany, but in Milwaukee. Instead, they place the accent on all the ingredients being from Wisconsin, which is not a bad thing either.
From their website:
Made with
100% Wisconsin-grown malted barley, wheat, and hops, including a unique,
first-of-its-kind, never before fermented, indigenous Wisconsin yeast
strain.
This strain was envisioned
by Lakefront President Russ Klisch and developed by Jeremy King of home
brewing supplies distributor Northern Brewer. Their new strain is
believed be to the only North American-grown yeast in commercial use
today as well as the first native brewing yeast from Wisconsin. Yeast is
just the tip of the local-sourcing iceberg, however. All products used
in Wisconsinite hail from the state, including its water, malted barley,
wheat and hops.
Need to go back up and get more. If you're going, pick me up some please!
CBC Rating: 5. Poured into my 22 oz Franziskaner Weiss Beer glass.
ABV: 4.2%!
