Hazy yellow color, light creamy white head. Banana aroma. Carbonated, crisp, dry wheat flavor. Quite malty, hints of lemon. Clean, refreshing hefeweizen.

Aug 20, 2008 On tap, NYC. Pours a hazy straw color, aroma is a great mix of sweet and spicy with the spices a little more prominent. Taste is rather bitter and also spicy and palate is rough from the high carbonation but overall not a bad beer.

Aug 15, 2008 Pours a nice cloudy orange color with a large lasting white foamy head. Smell is nice and smooth with banana and wheat with a touch of lemon. Taste is very similar with wheat, and banana notes. Slightly citric. Medium/thin body, med./high carbonation with a foamy mouthfeel.
Not bad, but a bit overcarbonated.

does not count  Aug 12, 2008 This beer pours nicely into the glass with a large creamy head that last for about two minutes. I was surprised at how clear it was for a heffe, especially with the amount of sediment at the bottom. The nose was orangy, rye bread, with actually a hint of strawberry. The mouthfeal was ultra carbonated for a heffe, possibly due to it being brewed with barley malts and not 100% wheat. Taste was similar to old sourdough bread with a hint of lemon and orange. Overall, it’s palatable... but my least favorite heffe.

Aug 4, 2008 Julius Echter Hefe-Weiss Premium Würzburger Hofbrau is what it says on the label. I hope this is the right one! It’s a cloudy, dim yellow beer with a soft white head. It has the expected banana-clove aroma-- really big on the banana. It has a reasonably smooth and crisp medium-light body. It has a mild flavor with a slightly bitter finish. There isn’t as much flavor as there is aroma here. It is fruity, wheaty... a very good example of the style-- a solid Hefeweizen.

Draught (30 cl) at the brewpub. Cloudy deep golden, medium white head. Standard Hefeweizen clove and banana, but well done. On the verge of being too sweet, but still ok.
