Sensory Description:

Poured mit hefe into a traditional 23 oz Hefeweizen glass, A Slice of Hefen immediately captivates with its pillowy, persistent foam and radiant haze. On the nose, it bursts with banana, clove, and subtle vanilla from the expressive Weizen yeast. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy, layered with soft wheat maltiness, yet it finishes dry and snappy, leaving your palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.

Brewer's Background:

Founded in 2010 in Albuquerque, La Cumbre Brewing Co. is a pillar of the New Mexico craft beer scene. The name La Cumbre, meaning “The Summit” in Spanish, reflects their high standard for brewing excellence. Known for Elevated IPA, their hop-forward crown jewel, the brewery also crafts time-honored European styles with the same passion and technical precision.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 40–45°F in a tall Weizen glass to emphasize its lively carbonation and elegant aroma. Great with Weisswurst, grilled lemon-herb chicken, soft pretzels with mustard, or a citrus-dressed salad.

A Slice of Hefen is a refreshing revival of German brewing heritage—crafted in the heart of the Southwest with finesse, soul, and a serious respect for style.
