500ml Srcew capped bottle dated 10-12-04 Found this today at a local liquor store. First time I've ever seen it and I guess I'll be the first to rate it. Beautiful pour in my Franziskaner Weissbier glass, cloudy bright gold with a thick fluffy snow white head looking like the Swiss Alps. Aroma is yeasty, citrusy and spicy with notes of clove. Body is smooth yet carbonation is very soft. Flavor is refreshing, wheat malt, lemon and clove with a slight sweetness. Good retention leaving scattered lacing and retaining a bit of head till the finish. Overall not bad at all for the style.

This beer was very light of clove and spices - given it’s style. The body was pretty fruity and had some soft, yeast flavors as well. In the finish was some light herbs and was sort of dry. Eh

Dirty straw color with a nice foamy head which lasts for a bit. Citrust aroma with a significant sweet taste and a nice smooth finish.

Nice, rich aroma with banana, dough and just a bit of skunk. Lightly misty,light honey gold with a thin white head. Lightly bittersweet, grainy. Good balance. Session weight. Medium bitter finish. New Leaf Market.

4/20/12. 12oz bottle labeled as "Bischoff Premium Hefeweizen." Slightly hazed orange pour with a frothy off-white head that sticks and laces in small sheets. Zingy aroma with orange peel and a bit of spiced followed by banana, yeast, cream, and a touch of bread. Sweet banana and orange flavor, a touch tangy, with more cream and light bread. Not bad.

Tallahassee, Fl - New Leaf Market - 330 ml bottle - labeled as Bischoff Premium Hefeweizen. Hazy medium golden pour, long lasting bubbly white head. Cloves and banana flavoring in the aroma. Flavor has a hint of bubble gum, some cloves and a bit of yeastiness. Thick enough mouthfeel.

Draught at the Porter and Sons, Tel Aviv. Pours cloudy blond with a big white head. Banana and some bubblegum and biscuits aroma, with some conserved peach. Mildly sour and a little bitter taste, smooth, medium body and rather flat.

UPDATED: MAR 4, 2012 From mr johny’s stache courtesy of coldbrewky. Pours a straw yellow into my bischoff weizen glass. No head what do ever, lots of carbonation. Hint of malt in the nose. Nice clove upfront, Light crackery sweetness. Well balanced and actually pretty enjoyable. Rated via BeerBuddy

I am not sure if I’ve ever had a hefe w/ green bottle skunk before but it’s really too bad it’s finally happened. This is a nice, cloudy orange brew w/ a thin head of fine bubbles. Nose is a bit skunky but w/ a real nice citrus and banana aroma otherwise. Bready malt makes a big appearance as do cloves and other spices. Texture is nice and thick but doesn’t have the creamy carbonation the best beers of this style do. This might be a nice beer overall but one w/ flavor flaws due to the packaging. To be honest, I feel not taking the most basic and inexpensive step of using brown bottles to protect beer brewed for export speaks volumes about the brewery in question. It’s too bad because it seems clear that there’s at least someone around Bischoff who knows what they’re doing. They just don’t appear to get to make this important decision.

Hazy golden yellow in color. The head is whitish and fairly strong. Crisp with hints of spice and citrus. Just enough malt flavor to let you know it is there.

bottle. Green bottle...really? Pours a proper straw hazy color with a fine white frothy head. Aroma is a little weird, phenolic rubbery, light banana/ & love, some skunky noble. Flavor follows, soft banana, nice and dry which I like, but the skinky hop thing is killing it, balanced clove. Light bodied, soft sizzling carbonation, just enough grit/protein.
