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.

Bottle. Cloudy orange/yellow. Aroma is citrus and a tinge of vanilla. Flavor is that of Bananas, yeast, and a bit of citrus. Pretty solid Hefe.

large bottle at friend’s house. Cloudy golden with a thin white head. aroma is sweet light and citrussy. Taste is sweet and light and really drinkable, I like this as far as german brews go, but I don’t drink them enough. Brings me back to Germany.

Pours a pale straw yellow, cloudy, dissipating head. Aroma is surprisingly vanilla-y like the description says. Downplayed spices and citrus, but it’s there. Taste mingles with breadlike flavors, vanilla, lemon, and light cloves. Finishes a little tangy at first, then dries out and almost disappears. Interesting and very drinkable. Fairly light on the palate, but that’s expected. A good hefeweizen, but doesn’t pack quite the punch that I want.

Bottle. Average off-white fizzy head that mostly lasted. Good lacing. Cloudy orange color. Banana, yeast, clove, coriander, citrus and wheat. Medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Flavor was light sweet with hint of acidic from the citrus notes. Sweet finish.

Bottle at Falstaff, Paris. A hazy gold studded with rising carbonation, perched atop is a huge foamy white head. Aroma is wheat upfront, as well as slight banana, floral, and spice character. Taste brings up bubblegum, banana, a lingering sour wheat character. Has an impressive and hard to place varying sweet/sour after that was enjoyable. High carbonation and pleasing on the palate.

Banana was extremely prominent throughout the beer and the head retention was ridiculously long. I enjoyed this beer very much but I think after two it would become too sweet.

Pours cloudy light amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is bread, banana and vanilla, kind of reminds me of a breakfast cereal.. Flavor is creamy, with banana bread and citrus. A very flavorful, but light beer. I like it a lot.
