A classic hefeweizen beer with a slight honey aroma from the specialty malt. Yeast strain will significantly affect the flavor and aroma of this beer. Use the Wyeast 1010 American Wheat strain if banana and clove flavors are not desired. The addition of honey malt will add a pale orange hue and a waft of honey aroma.
