Feb 23, 2009 16.9 ounce bottle - $3.29 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a dark, straw-colored body with a medium-sized, fluffy, white head.
Smell: Fragrant aroma smelling sweetly of banana juice, malted wheat, clove, vanilla, and a tiny bit of lemon pith.
Taste: Lightly tangy malted with a touch of honeyed sweetness. Spicy clove and nutmeg hits next, with tastes of banana, vanilla, and faintly tart citrus following in tow. Even a splash of pineapple and floral hints midway. Mild hops and accompanying bitterness. Slight touch of acidity. Finishes semi-dry and quite crisp with a lingering taste of grainy wheat bread.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-high carbonation. Overall spritzy mouthfeel.
Drinkability: An altogether classic German hefeweizen which would probably be even better out in the hot summer sun.

Feb 23, 2009 Superbly creamy, frothy, fruity (banana and bubble gum), and tasting of wheat malt, balanced and very German heffe.

does not count  Feb 23, 2009 First beer from Ayinger. Was good all the way around. Nice color and went down smoothly. Had a nice bite to it without being overly dominating.

Feb 10, 2009 Sipped on this one while playing bocce with brickstoredave at Leon’s Full Service. Life is good...
Pours a very hazy golden yellow with a huge puffy white head that lasts for ages and leaves great lacing.
The aroma is classic hefe with a massive banana sweetness with only hints of spices in the background.
Taste follows the aroma and is, once again, textbook hefe with a huge bubblegum and banana sweetness with hints of lemony hops up front and spices in the finish.
The mouthfeel is light to medium bodied with tons of carbonation and very smooth.
To call this one drinkable would be an understatement. It’s an exceptionally easy beer to drink and one of the best examples of the style I’ve had. Highly recommended!

Feb 9, 2009 Pours a cloudy off lemon color with lots of white head, lacing, and lots of carb action.
Banana, lemon, and bready aroma with some accomodating hops in the background.
Very refreshing bready, slightly lemony, and banana flavor. The bready grain wheat flavor in the background has hints of vanilla and bubblegum.
The palate is light to medium bodied with a fluffy crisp smoothness.
Very drinkable I can drink this all day.
BrotherGrendel (551), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA
Feb 9, 2009 A- Pours a cloudy opaque golden yellow, head is white and creamy froth that is mostly diminishing, minimal lacing on the glass
S- Nose is light and crisp, fruit and floral tones with banana, wheat, and spices standing out
T- Initial taste is a prickly and dry banana sensation followed by ebbs of spice and citrus tones, some mild trace of bubblegum and wheat, finishes with a brief hint of dry bitterness
M- Light-bodied beer, carbonation is lively, bubbly, and well-suited for this style
D- Smooth and easy-to-drink hefe that has a bit more complexity and spice than others, this feels like a prototypical hefeweizen that captures the essence of the style very nicely without being to rigid/boring
