COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Delicious lemon and vanilla scented wheat beer with yeast. This is an aristocratic beer with a champagne sparkle and a beautifully sustained head. With the pale color of mountain honey and tart refreshing palate, it is a "brut" beer with the delicious, complex fruitiness of extra-dry champagne. Bottle conditioned and top fermented, it is a benchmark for this style of beer. The nose is fruity-spicy, herbaceous with lots of flowers, and fruit. With such a creamy head, you can build miniature mountains that resemble the Alps. Pour slowly, fill the special weissbier glass half full and swirl the bottle on the table to put the yeast in suspension.

500ml Bottle. Apearance is opaque orangish-yellow color with copious, off-white head. Aroma is strong is banana, wheat, clove, and some lemon and spice. Taste is dominated by a strong wheat malt backbone with notes of fruit, banana, lemon, and spice. Palate is medium-bodied, creamy texture, foamy and lively carbonations, and a slightly tart finish. This is one of the best Hefeweizens out there.

Ahhhhh yes, I’ve had this maybe 5 times but am just now getting around to rating it. Hazed yellow, foamy white head. Aroma of gum, banana, clove, yeasty breadiness in general, honey. Taste of citrus, yeast stuff again and lots of it, sweat. Very nice crisp, doughy beer.

Pours pale yellow with a full bright white head. Nose is full of soft fruits like bananas and apples with a strong clove backbone. Yeast, bread, honey, and hay also compliment the aromas in the glass. Strong spicy backbone behind layers of bananas and apples wity honey. Very light and lively mouthfeel. The finish is a touch dry with spices lingering on the tongue.

UPDATED: DEC 15, 2011 500ml. Pours dense hazy pale yellow, one inch head, very carbonated. Not a strong smell but mostly wheat grain, fresh bread, some lemon citrus. The taste is great with just a little touch on everything great in German wheat and yeast. Some citrusy sweetness and bitterness, a little lemon and clementine orange. Some banana and faint clove from the yeast. A little hay and dryness in finish reminds me of a belgian wit, but then i get some bubblegum and banana and citrus and lingering vanilla as it warms. This is very drinkable for a liquid loaf of bread, and this needs to be more available in the States. Great in the summer, great all the time.

Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a cloudy orange gold with a small creamy white head. The aroma is yeast and clove. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt and yeast with a nice dry fnish. Easy to drink, a good German hefe from Ayinger.
