UPDATED: MAR 16, 2004 This beer looks fantastic with its large foamy frothy white goodness of a head [ein sehr grosses Schaum]. The head does not remain long [dauert nicht so lange], but the flavour is so mild and pleasant and refreshing that you do not care so much. Its appearance is of a cloudy, thick, creamy opaqueness, a light golden. Ovreall, a positively delightful brew, not overpowering or offensive, but completely compliant, tasting of vanilla, bending and willing to quench your beer-thirsty desires, to satiate your ever-expanding beerthirst [Bierdurst]. This beer ranks with Oberdorfer as oen of the best Weissbiers I have had. "Even the burp tastes good. Holy crap [heilige Scheisse]."

Pours light golden with medium head. Medium opacity due to a balanced amount of yeast. Fairly muted aroma, fresh taste. Good, but nothing special.

Pours cloudy golden with a huge white head and a banana and lemon aroma. There is a carbonated wheat flavor, very herbal and fruity, with a tasty yeast presence. Everything one would want in a wheat beer.

Nice pouring beer golden hazy yellow thick frothy head and aromas of lemon banana and hints of clove. Flavor is fantastic clean with a creamy type finish and banana and lemon notes a perfect hefe ! Overall best i can go on a hefe is a 17 and this is the best one i have found

Very good beer, nice and soft, refreshing with a remarkably balanced taste, with a very fruity flavour, good creamy head and beautiful aroma. Overall a very tasty drink.

Bottle: Lemon taste overpowers the wheat-malt goodness. Sweet, fruity and refreshing. Food Pairing: Key Lime Pie.

Bottle from bar. Surpringly clear yellow color, medium white head. Light taste with banana, lemon and slightly sour finish. Good weissbeer.

0,5l bottle from Csakajósör, Budapest. Cloudy, pale orange color with medium, creamy, white head. Yeasty, fruity odor with citrus and some banana. First the flavour of the wheat appears in the aroma. Later the yeast dominant with citrus, flowers, fruits, some banana and plum. Light bitter-sweet, typical Hefeweizen taste. Medium body with creamy texture an average carbonation. Yeasty finish with some wheat. Complex, deicious wheat beer. Very good, but not better than other premium category Hefeweizens, like Weihenstephaner, Schneider, Erdinger.

(sample) Pours a cloudy straw color. Aroma of banana, bubblegum and wheat malt. Tastes sweet. Mouthfeel is watery with a hint of hoppiness in the finish.

Bottle by 11.12. Big estery nose with only slightly fewer phenols for balance. Very bright and fresh. Hazy orange body with a creamy, rocky white head. Crisp, fresh medium body, nice mineral content with restrained fruit. Semi-dry, bare vanilla in with strong lemon, some mild bready yeast with volume. Pretty textbook, and it would take quite a string of failures to convince me that Ayinger isn’t one of the more competent breweries in the world.

Really like this but I like Hefeweizens, pours a hazy yellow with a generous head that dissipates, aroma is citrus, yeast, with citrus being prominent on the taste front too, feel good on the palate with a smooth carbonation, very enjoyable.
