Deep and dark colored, cloudy with yeast. Brewed with a darker roasted malt which adds some maltiness to the refreshing flavour of the Hefe-Weissbier.

Very enjoyable. Yeasty aroma. Very thick head on a murky orange-brown beer. Refreshing high carbonation spritzer-like taste. Spicy palate, cloves and nutmeg.

Bottled - A hazy amber brown coloured beer with a large, lasting off-white head. The aroma is caramel, nuts, some banana and a little toffee. The taste is malty with a little nuttiness. Quite thin really and lacking substantial body but it’s refreshing enough.

Not bad for $2 on german beer tuesdays, definatley my #1 pick. Pours a nice dark amber with a sweet aroma that matches nicely with the smooth full sweet flavor and mouthfeel. This is an overall pretty good beer.

The quintessential dark German wheat. You’re greeted by a sweet, bread-like aroma with a pleasant cloudy appearance. The wheat flavor is abundant without being overpowering with a sweet, borderline orgasmic finish. Without any doubt the finest dark weiss, if not the finest beer I have ever had the pleasure to experience.

Bottle. High quality weiss! Mahogony cloudy color with the usual banana and coriander nose. Off-white foamy head that lasts and lasts and lasts. Slightly sour with the addition of some nice malty caramel flavors.I consider this a perfect autumn beer.

Bottle. Pours a murky brown colour with a longlasting off-white head. Roasted malty aroma with some hints of bananas and yeast. Sweet malty and slightly roasted flavor with some hints of bananas and yeast. Roasted malty finish with some bitterness.

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a cloudy brownish amber color with small ivory head. Aroma and taste are both mainly of roasted malt and yeast. Fizzy on the tongue. Crisp and smooth. Dry ending.

Bottle (500ml). In my Erdinger Hefe glass. Murky brown-orange, large lasting foamy head - wow that looks great. Malty, fruity, spicy, yeasty aroma, sweet, very bready. Taste is all malt, yeast, plums and banana, lightly spicy - nice. Body’s a little soft, but nicely carbonated (light, just right), very quick finish, no aftertaste - very drinkable; oddly, I enjoyed it more than their regular hefe.
