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.

Draught. Aroma of bananas, lemon and yeast. Hazy yellow pour with a white head, good lacing. Taste of spices, bananas and bread. Great finish.

Aroma of lemon, wheat and yeast spice. Ripe hazy peach color with a white head that filmed rapidly. Medium bodied with creamy carbonation. Very fine bubbles. The flavor is wheat, banana and light stone fruit. There is floral hop, and hints of peach. The finish is not dry, but not sweet. There is banana and lemon. The mouth is left clean. It’s quite refreshing.

Pours a hazy orange with an enclosed white rim and a small white head that reduces to nothing. Strong yeasty and creamy wheat on the nose. I also picked up some surprising robustness in the back of the scent; almost a frappucino-like aroma. Tastes include white rice, cream-of-wheat hot cereal, banana, some bubblegum, and white chocolate chip. Lively carbonation and medium/full body. Good, if forgettable.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a weizen glass. This hefeweizen poured a tradional cloudy, golden color with a fizzy, off-white head that slowly faded away. Some very faint lace was left around the glass. The aroma of this beer was made up of grassy lemon, wheat malt, with some light banana notes. The flavor consisted of very faint spice and banana notes, and also some light citrus. The mouthfeel was light-bodied and very crisp. Almost champagne like as mentioned in the description. This was a nice hefe, but the flavor was a bit boring and more restrained than I would have hoped for.

Dark brown colored, medium sized yellow head. Strong sweet banana in aroma, mildly grainy that makes some diference to lighter weizens. Medium bodied. Flavor is strongly sweet also with banana, yeast and grains come up too. Sweetness still in aftertaste, too sweet for my taste.

Aroma is spicy and yeasty. Poured a hazy gold color with about a half-inch head. Tastes of citrus, yeast, cloves. Bubbly, but not overwhelmingly so. Very smooth, with almost no aftertaste. My favorite hefe so far.

From a 500 ml bottle purchased in Salt Lake City at the State Liquor Store this poured a very attractive cloudy golden color with a fantastic fluffy white head that hung on forever. Nose is banana and wheat and floral. Nice clean mouthfeel. Flavor is very complex, with fruits, cloves, and yeast. Great finish for a hefe, and good to the last drop. Best hefe ever.

Pretty good hefe. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a nice fluffy white head. Tastes like wheat and bananas and malt. Smooth finish and watery taste. Not too bad.
