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.

Hazy yellow body with a finger sized white head. Bananas and hate in the aroma. Flavor is annoyingly flat, but what there is is sweet like a banana chip with hints of wheat and yeast. It definitely doesn’t feel as carbonated as the standard hefeweizen, which troubles me mildly. Overall, an okay beer though.

Pours a light cloudy yellow with a active white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor is yeast, wheat, and a touch of banana. The carbonation is very active and tingly on the tongue. Good refreshing hefe.

Pours a cloudy yellow, with a big white foamy head. A strong citrus smell with a hint of wheat. Fruityness of beer gives almost a wine type taste. Full bodied beer, Some sweetness and yeast in the taste, excellent hefeweizen

I could certainly get used to this brew. Poured cloudy with a thick white head. Flavor was thick on the wheat side with a touch of citrus. If I had another, I would be drinking it now!

Pours a pale yellow almost white with lots of carbonation and a foamy white head. Very Belgian like sour cherry, bready aroma with some citrus. Very sweet fruity intro that turns tart and a little dry as it finishes with a more bready flavor that fades gently. The body is very creamy from the wheat and the flavors are all very smooth and well balanced.

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.

(bottle) hazy golden-yellow colour, huge firm white head. aroma has dominant banana and citrus notes, as well as a light hop spiciness and wheat. flavour is mostly banana and wheat, with notes of green apple and light citrus, peanuts and floral hops. medium carbonation, light to medium body. refreshing and well-made!

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.
