blkitson (125), Westerville, Ohio, USA Aug 1, 2006 Nice golden brown colr with not much of and after taste. There is a taste that hits you in the back of the throat, but I can really put my finger on what it actually taste like. Maybe a little sweer
bitbucket (1536), Kirkland, Washington, USA Aug 11, 2007 Bottle, courtesy shigadeyo. Pours cloudy light amber with a fading white head. Lightly sour aroma with just a smidge of banana and caramel. Body tending to light, with light carbonation. Taste is lightly sour as well. Bananas show up in the dry and polite finish. rmussman (687), California, USA Jul 1, 2007 A nice average hefe. Pours golden with a lacey head and a good amount of yeast remains in it. Flavor is strong and goes down pretty smooth. Overal an average hefe
porterhouse (915), Alna, Maine, USA Jun 28, 2007 (Bottle via trade with <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=39793 target=blank>shigadeyo, thanks Craig!) Pours cloudy light grayish amber/gold with a large off-white head. Aroma is citrus and wheat malt. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth, pretty hefty for the style. Flavor is citrusy, tangy, a bit sour, and pretty malty for a hefeweizen. I believe I was even getting some caramel and vanilla flavor as it warmed. Maybe some banana fruitiness as well. Fair, but the off/sourish hints didn’t add to the drinkability. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Jun 21, 2007 Got this one from shigadeyo. Pours a murky dirty amber with only a faint head and not much carbonation. Aroma has a nice citrus spice thing going on. Also malts, corn and grains. Flavor is also quite nice. Pretty big yeasts with mild spices and citrus. Getting some bananna in the flavor also. Aside from the flat mouthfeel I found it very enjoyable. Thanks Craig. shigadeyo (1361), Southwest Ohio Area, Ohio, USA Jun 3, 2007 5/22/2007: Christian Moerlein Hefeweizen pours a hazy, pale amber color with an average, foamy, off-white head. The aroma is wheaty and yeasty with a hint of banana. The flavor is similar with some additional caramel wheat maltiness and a hint of clove. This beer has a medium body and is pretty smooth. This is a good beer for those just venturing into German Hefeweizens and even for those that don’t especially love the style but try to enjoy one from time to since the flavor isn’t overly banana or overly clone and not too thin in body.
