Ultimately satisfying and easy-drinking, this is a recipe sure to please everyone.

Brewing Notes Style: Wheat Beer/Fruit or Spice Beer Fermentation Range: 65-70F Original Gravity: 1.048 SRM: 4.5 IBUs: 22 ABV: 4.7% Tasting Notes Aroma: Soft wheat malt with very low spicy and herbal hop aromas. Clean fermentation profile. The prevailing aroma is provided by the specific fruit puree used in the beer.  Appearance: The base beer (without added fruit) is a deep straw to vibrant gold color with moderate haziness and a firm, lasting and brilliantly white foam cap. The final product will take on colors of the specific fruit puree used. Flavor: Supple wheat malt flavor of fresh bread and faint biscuit with medium-low bitterness. Medium fruit-specific flavors round out the profile. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a smooth creaminess and medium-long finish. Brad’s Notes: “Wheat beer and fruit - the combination is pretty much a guaranteed win. Beginning with a straightforward yet satisfying American style wheat beer base, fruit puree is added towards the end of fermentation to turn an otherwise ordinary wheat beer into a complex, fruity sipper perfect for any day of the year. The use of American Ale yeast provides this beer with a crisp and clean flavor profile as to not interfere with any of the flavors of wheat and fruit, while the single hop addition adds just enough bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the base beer and the added fruit to keep the final beer from finishing overly sweet. Dead simple and delicious! Here at NB, our staff favorites were raspberry and apricot, but give it a go with anything you care to!
