Overview Kurt and Rob Widmer have been familiar faces in the brewing world since the mid-1980s, when they single-handedly (doublehandedly?) created the market for American hefeweizens with this beer. They’re also strong supporters of the Portland homebrew scene.

Flavors and aromas Hints of pepper and a tangy note (lemon or buttermilk) are about all that emerge in the very light aroma of this beer. A thin, crackery palate has little of the healthful body of better examples. This is generally very clean, and, other than a light pepper note that persists through the finish, lacking in character and definition.
