Aug 17, 2006 Hazy lemon pour with lots of spritzy carbonation. Buttery nose is layered with sweet breads, vanilla wafers and sweet fruits. The body is equally sweet, with lots of caramelly malts and banana cream notes. Really drinkable and well balanced - the yeast plays a secondary role to the sweet malts and makes this really work. Good stuff.

Aug 17, 2006 17oz bottle-pours a white head with cloudy yellow color and effervescence. Aroma is banana, wheat. Taste is banana, wheat, clove, creamy. Mild/OK carbonation.

Aug 15, 2006 Hazy light gold with normal sized head. Nose of bananas and cloves. Taste is much the same, with some spice and lemon. I’ve never been a huge fan of the original hefes (love pales and ipas), but this one is rather nice...and is changing my mind overall.

Aug 8, 2006 Rating 400! 16.9 oz, no date. Pours a cloudy light golden with a large rocky white head. Aroma of banana cream pie, cloves, yeast, a little citrus, possibly some spice. The taste was much the same, which overall is what a hefe is supposed to taste like, though this is done very well. Highly carbonated--too much--and light bodied. Overall pretty darn good for a hefe.

Aug 7, 2006 Ultra-frothy and fizzy head that lasted forever. Nice hazy golden-yellow color, the archetype for the hefeweizen. Citrusy and flowery aroma with elements of yeast, wheat, spices (clove, nutmeg), and banana. The perfect balance of typical hefeweizen flavors: wheat, yeast, citrusy, spicy, bubblegum/banana somewhere in there... just awesome. As close to a perfect example of the style as one can reasonably get.

Aug 2, 2006 Bottle. Lemon flavor- retains a solid acidic lemon flavor from start to finish, neither bitter nor sweet. Good light yellow color with white frothy head. Fairly dry on the palate with good cabonation. A good solid hefe. Very drinkable and straight forward.

Jul 29, 2006 Bottle 50F Weizen. Yeast notes, with very citric undertones very similar to lemon zest, a bit of clove and pepper. Light golden color almost a cloudy yellow, with a medium white head that remains nicely. Sweet and sour tastes, good citrus notes, great bread like yeast characters. Great light and sweet notes very delicious, umm one of the better wheats I have tasted. Medium Palate with high carbonation, nice bannana taste. Good feel on the tongue finishes nicely dry. A+ A very good example of the german wheat, subtle and complex with great light notes that make for easy drinking. Achtung ganz gut bier!
