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.

Pours beautiful golden with small off-white head that lasts. Nose is creamy and citrus. In the flavor I get candied pear/apple, tangerine, and milky caramel, well balanced. I detected a LOT of ETOH in the middle to the end. Aftertaste is mildly bitter and flavorful. Good.

(Bottle) Pours a hazy yellow with a good sized head. Fine carbonation with a fruity and yeasty aroma. Banana and some citrus in the taste. Slightly sour aftertaste. Nicely balanced. One of the best hefeweizens I’ve had.

Bottle, 330mL: Pours hazy yellow, weak white head. Aroma of citrus, wheat, and yeast. Very satisfying sour/sweet flavor with just the right refreshing mouthfeel. An excellent wheat. Marvelous.

This was my second experience with Ayinger, and I am rapidly becoming a fan! Wheaty and sweet, with a very smooth finish. I found this to be a very refreshing Hefeweisen, and I am certain to pick it up again.

This is the best Hefeweizen I’ve had. Very well put together. Solid citrus notes that aren’t overpowering. Not watered down, either. As stated in the description, ’it is a benchmark for this style of beer’. That says it all.
