Beer #3687: Oak and Dagger Danger Prone Daphne’s

What? A Dampfbier…what is that?

First time in a while I’ve had to click on the style button on Untappd.

A 100% barley malt beer made with yeast usually reserved for hefeweizens. Alright. That sounds…unnecessary.

It was good. It’s not ground breaking, but sometimes, at least for me, the cloudy nature of a hefe can lead to a perceived heaviness. The clarity and the brightness of the malt and hefe yeast at a higher temp gave it a bit of briskness that is missing from some “summery” hefeweizen.

I wouldn’t mind trying to find some other examples of the style. Could be interesting to see how it branches out.
