I call it Flat Tire so often I guess I wrote it that way.

Regarding the flavors, I know that true Hef's aren't actually infused, I used the term incorrectly. Those fruit and spice notes come from residual yeast esters. There are a number of American craft brewers however who do in fact infuse their wheat beers. Blue Moon, for example, has 3 or 4 different seasonal wheats, all of which are infused. I don't care for any of them. As far as the Dunkel Weiss is concerned, the black pepper notes are nicely noticeable, but I'm not sure if they've actually used pepper in the fermentation or if it's a result of the yeasts. Don't really care. Interesting stuff. It won't be my cool off beer at 5.75 a bottle though.
