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.

Speis und Trank, Munich. Gentle peppery banana aroma. Subtly dryish, spicy weisse with sneaking banana and lemon fruit as it warms. Tasty.

500mL bottle. Pours a hazy, golden-yellow color; fluffy, textured white head with good retention and medium-bubbled lacing. Toasty malts, citrus, and bananas in the aroma; refreshing and pleasantly dry nose. Medium, fluffy mouthfeel: bananas, soft cloves, white pepper and dry toasty malts; very drinkable and tasty hefeweizen; very nice, refreshing stuff. Medium finish: some citrus and mineral bitterness, bananas, and very soft, toasty spicing.

0,5l bottle. White head. Yellowish, light mead coloured. Aromas of citrus, yeast and apricot. Palate is light, decent carb. Flavour is also ligther than your average weisse. Yeast, bananas. Refreshing! Good for hot day.

500ml Bottle - First off, I was never huge on Hefes - I generally prefer Belgians, IPAs, and of course Stouts, but this is pretty marvelous. It’s light, but its got a lot of complexity. Pours a cloudy yellow/golden with nice white head - no lacing. Aroma is bananas, cloves, wheat, spice, citrus, etc. Taste is much the same with big banana aftertaste, and very lemony notes throughout. Probably the best Hefe I’ve tasted - beckons me to revisit the style.

Aroma is your standard weissebier. Lemon and citrus with some sweet banana notes. Cloudy yellow orange in color with a nice sized head. Sweet and grainy in the start with the spicy citrus and fruit flavors following. Medium body and refreshing. A nice example of the style.
