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.

Lemon and vanilla overtones to the slightly lactic (yoghurt-like) aroma with plenty of sour wheat. Opaque yellow-tan body is topped by a generous, fizzy white head that recedes slowly to a fine bubbled partial cover. Spicy and floral notes are apparent initially but they are swept up in the lightly sour wheat flavour. Banana, clove and lavender are notable in the aftertaste. Bitterness is quite notable also. Light body is quite dry with fairly strong carbonation that keeps the sweetness and stickiness from overpowering. Tulip glass. Fridge temperature. Bottle (Brewery Creek, Mar-08).

Bottle. Hazy golden with enormous head. Fresh aroma of flowers, orange and banana. The flavor is not too strong but is a nice mix of spices, banana, grain and a bit of sweetness. Perfect dry, soft palate. Sweet-sour fruity finish.

The nose was sweet, bananas, spicy, hint of clove, and yeasty.The flavor was spicy, bananas, yeasty, fruity, semi-sweet and a tad thin tasting.Mouthfeel was tingly and slighly dry.Medium bodied.Very quaffable for the style, nice balance, easy to drink, would drink this again, and worthy of a try.

Nice balanced hefe. Nose has a banana bread and citrus note. Can taste the cloves and hops- finishes a little grainier than most hefes. Lots of yeast sediment on the bottom, so give the bottle a little swirl just before dumping the last quarter into the weizen glass. This hefe is true to form.

Bottle 0.5 l. Light yellowish beige, cloudy ofcourse with a smallish head for a hefe. Nose is slightly yeasty and honeyish. Only slightly fruity and sweet. Flavor is smoothly wheaty and a bit fruity with very nice yeasty, wheaty and even hoppy aftertaste. Reminds me of some german fresh beers. Very attractive taste, lacks the sourness and overly sweet fruitiness of some hefe’s. More on the dry side.

Swirling bottom bottle gunk hypnotizing pour. Lighter spicy weisse aroma, almost like artificial banana. At times I think I almost detect shallots. Very nice creamy carbonation. Just fine!

Pours a cloudy straw colour with a good, long lasting egg-white head. Aroma is sweet and wheaty, artificial banana notes. Tastes lovely, creamy and light banana. Not too terribly spicy, but sweet and bready with a mild finish. There’s an odd flavour that reminds me of wood glue in there, too. Body is creamy and thick, slightly low carb. This is a tasty, tasty hefe. It would be very heaven in the summer. Hope it’s still available then here in Vancouver!
