This is my favourite beer. Drinking it is a real pleasure. (unlike the usual beers, which i drink just cause they are beers) hehe.

rickgordon (3816) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - APR 12, 2003
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2011 Re-rating again. Cloudy yellow colour with firm, creamy head. Rich, earthy aroma from tinny phenols, pine-apple, banana, wheat biscuits, tad sulphur, smoke phenols and clove. Full-bodied beer with the perfect mouthfeel, rich and mushy. Flavour comes in layers. Big fruit-compote feast where apple and banana play well together, followed up by light smokey phenols, tin and a little clove. Big body, low bitterness and medium sweet. Superb hefeweizen with all the best possible characteristics in (almost?) perfect harmony.

Pours a dark amber gold in the glass with nice white head. Nose and taste is predominately citrus with banana, soft wheats and hay. I should re rate this. It’s been awhile. Rated 1/15/2000

This beer was a good overall fit for this style. Not from one of the bigger breweries over here but a job well done.

Good white head atop a hazy faint-yellow body. Aroma is medium sweet, banana. Taste is medium sweet and yeasty. The balanced sparkling fits to the light tartness.

One of the better Hefe-trueb beers. Doesn’t maintain a great head for very long, but sure keeps its taste and complexity, even after standing out for some time in a glass.

Yellow,cloudy, huge hefe head,awesome banana aroma, delectable banana taste, great body , wheat comes through late and finishes smooth! A first class hefe..man...dare i say its better then paulaner? I know its not as well constructed as Paulaner but the banana really does it for me.
