Ayinger Brau-Weisse to me is the perfect German wheat, the aroma is fantastic. Bubble gum, banana, wheat very nice. Cloudy, light straw colored with great C02 and an easy drinker. Flavor cant be beat by any other German wheat in my opinion, bready and very refreshing.

It’s simply another fantastic hefe, characteristic hazy gold color, banana scent and citursy/banana flavor. Very enjoyable, and it’s great that it comes in a 25oz bottle!

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.

This is a wonderful German Hefeweissen. It has a brilliant aroma with citrus, vanilla, hints of spice and lemon peel. Color is beautiful slightly hazy. If mouth feel is nice, and palate is smooth, with great fruit and spice. One of my favorite Hefeweissens.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 500ml bottle into a tall weizen glass. The abv is listed on the back label (5.1%) but there is no freshness date. Appearance: The body has an orange/yellow color with a cloudy haze and some visible carbonation. On top I got a thick and creamy off white head. It is long lasting and makes slick lace ring which slowly slide down the sides of the glass. Smell: The aroma has notes of sweet bubble gum and banana peel with just a light touch of wheat malt. Taste/Palate: The flavor is not as sweet as the aroma foreshadowed. Tangy wheat meets the tongue first with a light clove banana yeast notes following. A touch of citrus and spicy/leafy hops leads into the finish which is crisp and fairly dry. The firm medium body has plenty of active carbonation give it a lively snappy texture. Notes: I love the texture and finish on this beer. Some German Hefeweizen beers get a little to slick on the palate but this one is crisp and feels alive with carbonation. Overall this is an outstanding Hefeweizen.

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

Took a bit to find my Weizen but it was worth it, what an appealing looking beery. Hazy golden yellow with a very noisy frothy head. Really strong citrus, cinnamon and chive in the nose. Very mellow with a complex pallet. Waves of taste. Very well balanced. Now this is what a Hefeweizen should taste like. Refreshing, wet and easy to drink. Not nearly as spicy as the nose would indicate. Really smooth. Citrus, a touch of chives and a hint of Banana. Wishing I had bought more than one of this. Fantastic.

This is one of most pleasing beers I have ever had with superb champagne taste (to borrow the reference notes) in a Hefeweizen style. I admired the deep characteristics and quietly wished that I could brew something like this. Using the correct glassware makes a big difference with this ale for the sweet aroma and the narrowing taste.

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.
