Evil Wheat Knieval

American Wheat Ale

ABV: 5.0% | SRM: 4 | FG: 2.1°P | IBU: 19

Evil Wheat Knieval is an American Wheat style with a little bit of a twist in it. For this beer we used ‘Cosmic Punch’ yeast which is a thiolized yeast strain. Releasing the thiols in the hops, malt and yeast gives us flavors and aromatics not usually found brewing the traditional method. This Wheat beer was hopped with Cosmic pop, Bru-1 and experimental 1624 in such a small amount it would normally be below threshold levels but using the thiolized yeast strain we get a wonderful bouquet of white grape and citrus which complement the heavy amount of wheat used in this beer. This beer was also a final goodbye from our Brewing Assistant Karter, who recently moved out of Utah County to further venture into his brewing career.
Cheers!
