COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Die Festliche: Nach überlieferter Rezeptur, mit größter Sorgfalt und hochwertigen Zutaten brauen wir dieses Spezialweißbier in seiner einmalig rotgoldenen Farbe. Die typische Fruchtigkeit bei vollem Weißbieraroma und eine exklusive Malznote machen die Hopf Spezial Weiße zu einem süffigen und spritzigen Trinkgenuss. Ein Bier für besondere Zeiten. Nach dunkler Brauart, aber etwas kräftiger im Geschmack und gebraut mit Caramelmalz statt des dunklen Malzes. Alc. 6,0 % Vol., Stammwürze 13,3 %

maxwelldeux (2217) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAY 18, 2013
Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber color with a moderate white head that disappears quickly. Nose has a lot of yeast in there with some OK citrus elements to it. Taste is a little sweet with some banana coming through in there. Smooth, but a little heavy.

BeerViking (1421) - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, GERMANY - MAY 16, 2013
Bottle, pours a hazy dark-gold with a fluffy white head and a buttery peachy nose with faint spice notes. Fresh, dry and golden-fruity on the palate, turning sweeter in the mid-body, then a fruit-caramel notes coming through. A little hoppiness in the finish, but overpowered by somewhat cloying caramel.

MichaelBruch (1472) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - MAR 19, 2013
An solch eine wundervollen Farbe wie auf dem Foto kann ich mich nicht erinnern. Eher an ein simples, nicht spektakuläres 2,5er Wiezen mit den gewohnten Fruchtnoten. Ganz ok eben.

McTapps (1469) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAR 18, 2013
Light milky amber colour with steady head and medium body. Nose of yeast. Taste of pure yeast, baking soda, fruit salad and ripe bananas. Very fruity and yeasty Hefeweizen, just too much for me. High carbonation doesn’t make it easy to drink.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 18.05.2013
Aroma is rather wheaty with ripe bananas, some tart citrus and yeasty notes. Quite darkaappearance for a hefeweizen. Flavour is refreshing and somewhat tart with citrus, some slimy, ripe bananas, wheaty and yeasty notes. Also hints of toffee and caramel. Slight feeling of alcohol on some sips. Good.

RexTalionis (1420) - FINLAND - FEB 22, 2013
Bottle 50 cl. Pours cloudy dark orange in color with a white head. Ripe banana, toffee in aroma. Some spices as well in aroma. Flavour is slightly sour and sweet wheat at first. Ripe banana later on with influences of toffee sweetness. Light spicyness, even a bit of that biting peppery kind of spicyness, in aftertaste with a fruity sweet finish.

Appearance: darker golden color for a hefe, cloudy, white head not that tall Aroma: lemon, clove, Taste: molasses, butter, banana? Palate: a bit of a dry c02 burn at first, no aftertaste Overall: pretty good but not great, not enough complexity ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Thanks to adnielsen for sharing. Pours a hazy dark golden color with white head. Wheat, fruity, estery aromas. Bready, wheat, yeasty, some hints of banana in flavor. Seems like this bottle may be a little off, but not sure.

adnielsen (6177) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - DEC 21, 2012
Bottle @ home, courtesy of my secret santa. Fuck yeah! Pours a cloudy, dull, a touch brownish, orange appearance wit ha decent sized white head. Chewy, orange citrus forward, zesty/bready yeasty, spicy aroma. Smells a bit old. A bit tart lemon/banana smoothie, chewy bready, wheat grainy, quite spicy flavor. Kind of like sucking on some wheat grains. Tastes a bit old but this could be a real winner. I need to check it out next time I’m in Bavaria.
