4.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
My favorite Wheat beer is
draft Erdinger,
however this is
difficult to get (in kegs)
in the US. When it is found,
it is nearly $150 per half barrel.
This berghoff beer, rivals
Erdinger in all cases, except
price (only $70/half barrel).
It is slightly cloudy in appearence,
mild in flavor, and has a pleasing finish.
The bottles are quite close to the draft
(draft also available from Berghoff’s
restaurant on Adam’s St. in Chicago).

Very nice hefe. The flavor is crisp (i notice the water quality of Berghoff’s as unusualy fresh) the colors right and flavor pretty authentic. I don’t know if I can say it is the best hefeweizen I ever had but it is very highly recomended.

On of my favor wheat beer out there. Solid finish without the sour notes. Can drink with a lemon or without. Very refreshing on a good hot day.

A great weissbier. I don’t know about it when bottled, but on tap at Berghoff’s Chicago restaurant, this is archetypal Hefe-Weizen: nice clove nose, fruity, slightly sweet, well-balanced body, with a cloudy appearance, and full, robust head.

In America, not many brewers make a better Hefe. Sampled this at the Restaraunt on tap. Large head, clove nose, smooth banana?/citrus taste, cloudy appearance. If you are in Chicago, stop at the Berghoff!

head to head with Sprecher..
Banana yeasty aroma. yeasty wheat flavor. very similar to german hefes such as paulaner. kind of similar schells, true german flavor without the full body of its european counterparts

Had this one bottled. Your typical wheat beer nose of bananas, cloves and orange, with a hint of cinnamon, flavor is nice and sour with some lemon and spice. This is a good wheat beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This brew pours a medium head of fine to medium sized bubbles that fade rather quickly. It has a cloudy straw yellow body and a strong banana aroma. There is a stong banana citrous flavor in this brew that exagerates the typical Hefe_weizen flavor of most Hefe's. Stil it is a rather good wake up call to the senses.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
One of the better American Weisse beers I’ve tried. Although it is a little watery to me, it does have a pleasant after-taste.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Re-rate I just got a bottle in a gift pack, not bad pours dark yellow hazy color, has a creamy white head and leaves a nice lace in my glass, spicy yeasty aroma. Banana yeasty wheat flavor, some sourness, light-medium body, nice creamy and soft palate. has a very sweet finish.
