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.

Pours a hazy pale gold with a 3 finger foamy white head that has decent retention. Aroma is of lemon, banana pudding with vanilla wafers and a sprinkling of buttersoctch on top, tart wheaty malt and some fruity esters. Flavor has plenty of yeast, slightly spicy clove banana, a little bubblegum if I search for it and some really nice raspberry like fruitiness. There is a decent amount of lemony, wheat malt and some floury buttered bread notes like a creme horn pastry filled with honey wheat bread, finish is danish with fresh berries and lemon instead of jam. Body is medium thin, dry and astringent, with and unusually dry but fruity finish with a hint of clove and lots of strawberry-banana juice. Definitely one of my favorite Hefe’s that I havent had in too long.

Not your typical hefeweizen by any means. Beautiful golden orange color with cloudiness typical of a wheat beer. One of the most complex flavor profiles I’ve tasted from a weisse beer. I taste new flavors every time I drink this beer. Definitely more depth than just the standard citrus and banana flavors of most hefes.

Pours a cloudy dark straw with a large pillowy white head that clings to the glass. The nose is a solid yet subtle blend of banana, bubblegum and flowers over a soft wheaty malt backing. Light to medium-bodied it is easy drinking while fairly substantial. With a distinctly wheaty mouthfeel, it finishes fairly dry for a hefeweizen. Soft and wheaty with banana, floral and light clove notes in support. This is a very solid and nuanced example of the style.

Very good aromas of bread malt and lemons..murky yellow in the glass with solid head. really surprised me with the taste..I kept my expectations kind of low since Im not much for the style, but Im liking it a lot. Good flavors of lemons malt and a slight pepperiness with the hops showing themselves now and then..Has a creamish palate hinting at the vanilla. Aftertaste is a little less than desirable but still, not that bad I guess.

Ayinger Bräu Weisse is a Hazy deep orange yellow color with a frothy and thin white head. The aroma is full of banana and cloves and the flavor is hearty with the same characteristics as the aroma. Lemon citrus is present as well. This is a great German Hefeweizen and an all-around good beer.

500 mL. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a large, white head. Aroma of bananas, cloves, yeast, lemon. Taste is relatively light with some citrus, spice and fairly high carbonation. Crisp finish. Excellent wheat beer.
