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.

This is the beer that turned me inot a beer geek. I do not care what others think, Ayinger is the best! I am also a hefeweizen fanatic, so I am a little biased.

very pale cloudy light yellow pour. hardly any head...but what is there is a nice white color. wonderful banana and citrus notes on the nose. Delicious. Banana and bread really come through this one and it is wonderful on the palate. nice smooth mouth feel.

I'm very impressed with this beer. The color is a little light, but the flavor makes up for that.

Perhaps the best Weiss I’ve had. A perfect balance of tartness and wheat flavor, absolutely superb with food and packs a decent punch too.

Appearance: Cloudy to a "T." Nice, solid white head. Lovely tan colour, very opaque even though not dark.

Aroma: cloves, banana, grass, chamomile, very light cardamom. Nice balance of aromas.

Taste: Textbook without being industrial. Grass, banana, clove, and peach. Very refreshing.

Palate: What can I say? Near-perfect all the way down.

Overall: Lovely hefeweizen, one of the best I’ve had. As stated above, classic and textbook without being industrial or boring. PERFECT with grilled bratwurst and sauerkraut.

Pours a cloudy off lemon color with lots of white head, lacing, and lots of carb action. Banana, lemon, and bready aroma with some accomodating hops in the background. Very refreshing bready, slightly lemony, and banana flavor. The bready grain wheat flavor in the background has hints of vanilla and bubblegum. The palate is light to medium bodied with a fluffy crisp smoothness. Very drinkable I can drink this all day.

Poured a Deep, cloudy gold with a tight, creamy white head. The nose was of wheat, banana and clove. The taste started with malty wheat off the top. Cloves and nuts follow. The end had a banana creaminess with and citric tartness below. The finish was spicey and peppery. This beer is very refreshing. I like to pour a pint then swish around all the yeasty goodness left in the bottle. Highly recommended, especially if you like hefe-weizens.

Milky white and a nice head. Thinner body than a few other hefeweizens, but more than satisfactory. Citrus, wheat bread, cloves, and yeast flavors in the beer are also noticeable in the aroma as well. Not as "wheaty" on the aftertaste, which I actually prefer (but by no means is this beer flat either). My favorite German Wheat beer in the world. Prost!
