A very light colored golden beer with a white frothy head. Very clean aromas are followed by a very clean and crisp beer. No bitterness but not overly sweet or fruity either. If you like Hefs this is on the smoother side.

redlight (2289) - Winter Park, Florida, USA - JUN 18, 2010
Citrus and banana on the nose with traces of clove. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a thick white head. Citrus with banana notes, sweet bread with some grassy notes and mild clove spice with hints of nutmeg, finishes very dry. Not bad.

Served on tap at No. 27, Inverness. Great appearance - a fantastically large white creamy head. Light in body and beautifully served in its own branded tall glass.

holdenn (2023) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - OCT 23, 2007
On tap at a restaurant in a small Austrian city. Pours cloudy light yellow with a tall head. Clean nose with wheat yeast and banana. Clean and creamy flavors. Balanced well one of the better hefeweizens I had.

Wolfenstein (96) - Sarasota, Florida, USA - JUN 28, 2007
I had a few of these while in Switzerland recently. Poured a cloudy golden hue. Very refreshing and light bodied with a hint of coriander and hops. One of the greatest "light" beers.

TheGrandMaster (2335) - Auckland, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 12, 2007
Draught, cloudy and carbonated, gold with a large rocky white head. Not much of an aroma at first, slightly citrus, hints of banana grew as it warmed. Quite a full mouthfeel for a weiss beer, not too carbonated, a wheaty flavour, not too sweet. Good.

peterstrongale (43) - Tampa, Florida, USA - NOV 27, 2006
Hazy warm golden coloured beer with very nice white head. Mild aroma with soft touch of coriander and some lemon. The taste is light bodied but refreshing. It ends with a taste of white bread and some fine bitterings of hops.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - OCT 11, 2004
Light gold. Nose is sweet, lots of clove and coriander, bit tart. Flavor is a bit thin for a hefe, some banana and bubblegum but a mite thin.
