HogTownHarry (3922), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Sep 2, 2006 Bottle (500ml). In my Erdinger hefe glass. Cloudy orange, large lasting off-white foamy head. Aroma of malt, grain and banana, but there’s an oil-based paint tang there that isnt’ quite right, somewhat sour too. Taste is similar - not bad, an odd grassy note for a hefe. Average mouthfeel, grainy, even a hint of astringency. Ehh. hopscotch (5437), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Aug 26, 2006 Bottle... "Eastern You’re A Peein’ Lager & Ale Night"... Cloudy yellow ale with a large, rocky, white head. Terrific retention. Fruity, spicy aroma with lots of banana, Bazooka bubblegum, bread dough, clove and broth. Just a rumor of smoke. Sweet, fruity flavor with a little toffee, lemon and peach. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Sweet, fruity finish. Really good for the style, but hefes are not a favorite of mine. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Aug 19, 2006 Pours dark golden and cloudy with a nice foamy off-white head. Aroma is citric, fruity with banana and lemon, and a bit spicy from the yeast. The note of pure yeastiness and crisp wheat that sharpens the aroma. Taste is dry, wheat centric, with mild fruity esters that are more spicy than fruity. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, smooth, and slightly creamy with lively foamy carbonation. If you’re in the mood for a fruity hefeweizen, look elsewhere. If you want a refreshing beer, this is a good one. eaglefan538 (2355), Wilmington, Delaware, USA Jul 31, 2006 Poured a cloudy golden color with a weak initial head, actually quite week for a hefe. The aroma was bananas and cloves with a dry finish, somewhat of a non-cloying flavor. This beer was pretty enjoyable for a hefe, very drinkable. Mouthfeel was moderate, not heavy, not cloying, just very drinkable. Two thumbs up, although not outstanding. FrankJohansen (3329), Sabro, Denmark Jul 27, 2006 Bottle. Golden cloudy colour with a huge white mostly lasting head. Aroma and flavour of wheat, yeast and fruits. Good hefeweizen. nick76 (2634), Tampa, Florida, USA Jul 25, 2006 The aroma has wheat, bananas, bubblegum, and sugar. The appearance is deep golden orange with a slight hazing and a medium head. The flavor does not have as much of the aroma elements as it should. It is mildly bitter with some bubble gum and bananas but very little. And, there is no clove taste to speak of. The palate is thin. Overall it’s not a bad beer, it just doesn’t have all the right elements for a Hefeweizen. Stefano (1321), Esbjerg, Denmark Jul 23, 2006 Creamy white head, mostly lasting. Blond yellow body. Lightly bitter initial flavour, lightly bitter finish. Lively carbonation.
