Oct 25, 2007 I’ve yet to find a bad beer from Ayinger (or even a mediocre one - they’re all good). This brew did not disappoint. Pours an absolutely exquisite pale golden color with a foamy snow white head. Yeasty aroma with very subtle banana notes. I got the slightest clove notes, but that might be my mind telling me that it should be in a hefe! Flavor was a fruity/citrusy balance that was light enough to be very thirst-quenching. This hefe skews a bit lighter than others, but there is no loss in flavor. Just another solid offering from Ayinger.

does not count  Oct 23, 2007 Bread and butter taste with a slight lemon flavor. Perfect to eat with a nice steak, I love this beer but it is very expensive. Worthy every penny, Love it

Oct 23, 2007 On tap at Ayinger in Munich on our honeymoon. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is yeasty with wheat, malt, banana, and clove. Similar flavors a little fizzy but still creamy from the wheat. Decent beer.

Oct 19, 2007 Pours a hazy amber yellow with a generous sustained rocky white head. Smells of bananas, lemons, cloves, some coriander and oranges. Tastes of bananas, some clove, bubblegum and hints of spice and pepper. Mouthfeel is full. About as good as you can get out of a hefeweizen in a bottle.

Oct 9, 2007 Smells like i expected. A little creamier of an aroma that most hefeweizens. Some yeast, some alcohol. Beautiful great white head. Cloudy golden, great. Very dry flavor, some fruitiness. Slightly spicy in the finish and the aftertaste. Full bubbly mouthfeel. I like it. Good beer, would drink it again.

Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. Poured nicely with a wonderful, thick white head. Head eventually dissipates to leave a very pale, slightly cloudy beer. What foam remains leaves nice legs on the glass. Scent of light yeast, reminiscent of a leffe blonde or other lighter belgian ale. For a beer this light feeling, there is still a luxurious mouthfeel here. This is a nice beer. Not really a style I prefer, but a great representation of it. Seems like it would be great after cutting the lawn on a hot day.

Oct 4, 2007 Bottle. I expected a little more out of this.Pours very nice. Thick white head that dissipates quick. The flavor is nice, there’s just not a lot. Good citrus notes though. Unfortunately probably not worth the price.

Oct 2, 2007 Bottle at Hotel in Munich. Creamy yellow and full head. Fruity nose. Really creamy and smooth (almost Czech.) Sweet taste of citrus. Also spicy and prickly mouthfeel. Quite good.
