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 from Bev Mo La Mesa. Pours a cloudy medium golden color. Head is off white and big! Nose of banana, lemon, vanilla and yeast. Flavor is much the same.

Bottle 500ml. Poured hazy gold, slightly amber at the bottom of my weizen glass, big fizzy-foamy white head - a little too pale. Damn that’s a fine aroma - fresh sweet fruity malt, I get apple, banana, pear, hard candy, light spice, a bit of lemon in the later sniffs. Taste is pretty similar, plenty of banana, lemon, treefruit, soft sweet spice, and a nice hint of peppery hop bitterness in the finish. It’s a tad watery, but it’s very soft, pleasingly lightly carbonated, not acidic or astringent at all, has a quick finish and a light fruit linger - sweet, but just right.

Pours a hazy, lemony yellow with a big, fizzy white head. Mostly fading. The aroma is banana, cloves, bubblegum, peaches and ctirus. The flavor is loaded with bubblegum, banana, lemons, apricots, lightly spiced at the end. Medium body with lively carbonation.

ayinger hasn’t let me down yet. this is pretty much a typical hefeweizen in every way, but it’s got more flavor than franzikaner and weihest.... whatever it’s called, so i like this more.

Bottle from MoritzF. Thanks! Flowers, citrus and grape juice packed in the aroma. Clove, banana, flowers and citrusfruit in the flavor. Well made hefeweizen, both with drinkability and character.

this beer was excellent. Nice ’spring fresh’ taste - crisp and spicy at the same time. This is a perfect example of it’s style

Bottle, at Delirium Cafe. Golden, unclear, large white head. Moderate malty (coriander, citrus, heavy fruity), light hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet, light acidic/bitter. Light to medium body, low carbonated (almost flat). Really big!

Bottle: Cloudy yellow, white head. Some bananas, bready, some cinamin possibly. Flavor was similar, really bright on the palate, a little chewy, and a nice dry finish. Very good beer.
