Production & Heritage

Two Brothers Brewing Company was founded in Warrenville, Illinois, and famously began production using bulk milk tanks donated from the founders' grandfather's dairy farm — an unconventional start that speaks to the brewery's resourceful, family-rooted approach. Ebel's Weiss follows the traditional German hefeweizen method, brewed with a grain bill comprising at least 50 percent malted wheat and left naturally unfiltered, allowing the characteristic yeast haze and protein cloudiness to remain in the finished beer. The result is a deep golden, authentically cloudy wheat beer with 12 IBUs, deliberately low in bitterness to let the yeast-driven flavor profile dominate.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Classic hefeweizen yeast character leads with ripe banana and warm clove spice, followed by softer hints of vanilla and a subtle lemon brightness. The nose is inviting and distinctly Bavarian in style.

Taste: The palate opens with a pillowy malt sweetness and pronounced banana ester that rolls into a mid-palate of clove spice and yeast complexity. Faint bubblegum and citrus notes weave through, while the wheat body provides a creamy, medium-light texture that avoids heaviness.

Finish: The finish is short to medium, clean, and refreshing with lingering clove warmth and a soft wheat dryness. A trace of banana sweetness fades gently, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.

How to Drink Ebel's Weiss

Pour into a traditional weizen glass to release the aromatic banana and clove notes and showcase the beer's hazy golden-orange color with its characteristic fluffy white head. Serve cold at 40–45°F for the best balance of refreshment and flavor expression. A lemon wedge on the rim is common in American service, though purists skip it to let the yeast character speak for itself.
