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.

Beerheart65 (680) - Pori, FINLAND - MAY 15, 2013
Cloudy yellow, 2 finger frothy white head dies too fast. Aroma has wheat, yeast, lemon, banana, vanilla, just bit spices, herbs. Dry and spicy, medium to light body, soft palate, fruity, wheat and yeast also stand out, not as much spices in taste but they are nicely there in the finish so this one is quite lively and nuanced. Lively wheat with good drinkability.

fantti (442) - FINLAND - MAY 13, 2013
Kaatuu vehnälasiin samean kullankeltaisena vaahdon ollessa melko tiiviin oloinen ja parin sormen paksuinen. Hajussa on vahvana perinteiset banaani ja hedelmäpurukumi, mutta myös neilikkamainen mausteisuus huokuu selvänä esiin. Lievää makeaa maltaisuuttakin on havaittavissa. Maku on täyteläisen makean banaaninen ja viinikuminen, loppumaussa mausteisuus tunkee suuhun yllättävänkin hyökkäävänä ja makeus jääkin sen alle. Alusta löytyy myös hieman sitruunaa. Suutuntuma on hieman hiilihappoinen, mutta tämä hefe yllättää täyteläisyydellään, samaan pystyy oikeastaan vain Weihenstephaner. Mausteisen puolellle kääntyvä saksalainen vehnä, jonka suutuntuma yllätti täyteläisyydellään. Loppumaussa mausteisuus iskee jo hieman liikaakin suuhun, muuten hyvin tasapainoinen ja laadukas tuote.

Pale gold with nice hefe yeast haze. Copious white head. Nose is light yeasty spice, clove, lemon-citrus, and faint vanilla. Flavor is clean lemon-citrus with light bubblegum esters, floral spice, and faint vanilla. Finishes well carbonated an lightly dry with lingering citrus. Classic.

nearbeer (3050) - Knoxville, Tennessee, USA - APR 29, 2013
500 ml. poured into a weizen glass. Nearly opaque pear-colored body with an inch of creamy foam on top and active carbonation keeping it replenished. Classic aroma is a nice blend of spicy banana, toast, light caramel, pear and citrus. Flavor is the same with some hints of grape must, baked apple and brown sugar. Light-medium body has extremely smooth carbonation and is well balanced with a crisp finish.

Lukaduke (1021) - Portland, Maine, USA - APR 27, 2013
Pours a cloudy pale golden color with a fluffy three finger foam. The nose is round wheat bread notes with nice touches of citrus, lemon, fuji apple and spice. On the palate its nicely balanced and very drinkable. Great light floral fruit sweetness that leads into the wheaty bread like midpalate... quenching citrus spice lingers...

Bottle. Hazy lemon with a 5 second head. Aroma is fruity yeast and wheat. Flavour is fruity and floral, tangy wheat on a refreshing light caramel finish.

Hartung32 (98) - Indiana, USA - APR 24, 2013
Very refreshing and easy to drink; but lacks substance. Great lemon nose, but the flavor doesn't deliver on that promise. I'd drink it again, but there are so many other beers that I'd choose over this. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
