hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA Mar 25, 2008 Bottle.Huge frothy, fizzy, white head that mostly diminished, splotchy lacing, cloudy, fast rising carbonation, and a straw hue. 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. wheatfreak (41), Marinette, Wisconsin, USA Mar 24, 2008 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. raymondwave (867), Finland Mar 24, 2008 Updated: Jun 23, 2008Bottle 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. cheapdark (2011), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 22, 2008 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! fearnobeer1976 (19), peshtigo, Wisconsin, USA Mar 22, 2008 Very good hef. A little on the lighter side in appearance. Not as cloudy as most hefs that ive had mgermani (862), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Mar 22, 2008 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! afireinside96 (807), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 19, 2008 draught. tapped a cloudy yellow with white head. smelled like banana, citrus, and wheat. taste was lemony with a hint of light clove. had a very spritzy, astringent feel in the mouth. finishes dry. one of the better hefes that I have had in awhile. biznizness (930), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Mar 15, 2008 Another perfect beer from Ayinger. This is just a flawless hefeweizen in my opinion. Delicious, smooth and creamy... doesn’t get better than this.
