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.

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.

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.

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.
