Rabbet
Half Acre Beer Company

Rabbet Hefeweizen. Yes, Hefeweizen. Reading that you may have brought to mind a preconceived notion of Hefe. But really, when was the last time you had one? We’ve made Hefe before, but this beer really raises the bar for what we’d hope when trying to awaken all those aromas and flavors – plantain bazooka banana clouds fluffed over clove cream. A palatial mouth feel of wheat density held buoyant inside beer’s original haze. Rabbet Hefeweizen is overflowing with yeast character that’s got your summer by the short hairs.

You could see how characteristics like these could fall right into some of today’s more far-flung flavors, but Hefeweizen is a traditional German wheat beer. They went way-out long before we did. The word Rabbet refers to a form of wood joinery. You’ll see the figures on this can and how their limbs all lean toward negative spaces created by the others. Beer pulling people together. Old traditions.
