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.

Scents of banana and wheat. A crisp, citrus? tingle lingers throughout the finish. A lighter bodied offering which proves to be a refreshing example of a German wheat beer.

Sampled at a friends, this is nothing to write home about. Pours gold with light disapating head. Bananas on the mouthfeel

Very pleasant wheaty aroma with banana and lemon notes. It pours a cloudy straw colour with a decent white head. There’s a noticeable coriander flavour that makes me think of a wit, but the overal flavour doesn’t carry through what the aroma promises. Very smooth on the palate with medium carbonation.

On tap at Mpar Room in Chicago. A well done hefe. I put Ayinger, Schneider, and Weihenstephaner at the top of good German hefes. They are all similar-- maybe just different yeasts strains give each one a slightly different flavor? Nice on a summer day.

Bottle from Monster Beverage in Glassboro. Hazy goldenrod pour supporting a hefe-worthy tall white head. Plenty of thick lacing. Strong clove, banana and yeast on the nose. Same flavors follow from the glass with a little lemon, apple and corriander. Light but not thin texture and a wondefully crisp dry finish. Nothing extraordinary but still a very good traditional German hefe.

16.9 oz. bottle. Strong, yeasty, classic hefeweizen aroma: orange, lemon, bubblegum, cinnamon. Smells great! Pours a cloudy gold with a large amount of white head and a small amount of suspended particulate. Seems to be even cloudier than a typical hefeweizen. Produces limited lacing. Flavor of bubblegum and skittles as well as sour citrus. Disappointing lack of complexity given the wonderful aroma. Tart. There is a slight touch of bitterness that I would not expect from a hefeweizen in the finish. Little aftertaste. Light to medium body. Lively in the palate. Easy to drink. A good example of a style that is perfect for a sunny late spring or summer day.

Deep golden color, hazy but not quite cloudy, good initial head that dissipates quickly, lasting carbonation. aroma is spice/banana. Flavor retains the spice and banana notes, and adds citrus, more tart than bitter. Very good overall for a wheat beer.
