Guinness4Duff (464), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jan 26, 2008 Blonde with a white head, aroma is of a mild banana scent and yeast. The flavor is a nice balance of fruit and spice.
Swalden_28 (576), McKinney, Texas, USA Sep 7, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a cloudy gold with white head. Aroma of bannana and bubblegum with light citris. Flavor has nice bannana notes with light citris and a wheat malt backbone, light sweetness. Mouthfeel is light and soft with high carbonation. Overall a very light, refreshing beer. jfb (42), Freising, Germany Sep 1, 2008 (bottle) hazy golden-yellow colour, huge firm white head. aroma has dominant banana and citrus notes, as well as a light hop spiciness. flavour is mostly banana and wheat, with light citrus and hop touches. medium carbonation, light to medium body. refreshing and well-made. goldbrew (93), USA Aug 30, 2008 Another solid and comfortable staple in hefeweizen land. I still prefer Weihenstephaner as Ayinger is less robust and less deep a clove-banana imprint. Won’t pass it up however, refreshing and flowery flavor. Less dirty than the Schneider Weiss but still not as satisfying as the Weihenstephaner. Underhook (113), Lincoln Park, New Jersey, USA Aug 28, 2008 Pours a pale yellow, like a cloudy pale lager. The flowery, fruity aroma fills the room and is magnificent. Lots of banana. Some sweet, citric malt. Finishes lovely. Really great summer beer, up there on par with Hacker-Pschorr’s hefe. EricE (233), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Aug 26, 2008 Very pale hazy straw yellow pour with a thick fluffy white head. Lots of banana and spicy cloves. Very pleasant banana flavor. Slightly sweet. Very easy to drink with a bit of biting carbonation. All around great hefeweizen.
