The original label contained only the middle portion. The side panels were added so that it would conform to the new label size.

Style: German Hefeweizen
Brewed: 05/29/05
Bottled: 06/15/05
Being our first brew, we used a kit. The recipe here is an estimation as to what the kit contained.
Kit Estmiation
6.6 lbs of Munton & Fison liquid light pale-malt extract
3.3 lbs of Munton & Fison liquid Wheat malt extract
1.5 oz hallertau hops (Believe to have added half of the hops at 60 min and the remainder at 30 min)
0.5 lbs crystal malt
White Labs Hefeweizen Ale Yeast
Unsure if Greg's notes that follow belong to ToW I or II, will edit at a later date
Notes:
Awesome. More spicy than fruity. Has low carbonation due to the use of 1 cup DME rather than 1 cup corn sugar. The mouth-feel is fairly thick for a hefeweizen, due to both the wheat malt and the dextrine malt. We might try using malted wheat next time. -Greg
Update: After 6 months, the banana notes really picked up and it developed a bit of sweetness actually and fruit esters. Still awesome. -Greg
Update: After 1 year, the fruit is almost entirely gone, but the heavy mouthfeel has only increased. It is richer and deeper in complexity, but barely tastes like a hefeweizen any longer. -Greg
