POurs hazy gold with medium white head. Aroma is banana, clove, yeast and some citrus. Taste is yeast, banana and some spices. Very muted flavors. I like my weiss beers a little more flavorful.

Sampled on 1/14/2011. This German Hefeweizen pours a medium orange gold color from a 50cl swing top bottle. Large sized white foamy head with long lasting retention and nice lacing. The aroma is citrus, wheat and orange, with some spiciness. A medium bodied Hefeweizen. The malts are wheaty, citrusy, banana and clove. The hops are citrusy and spicy. Lively carbonation. Nice hints of citrus and orange at the finish. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. poured cloudy yellow with a white head. aroma was citrus, wheat, and orange. flavor was citrus, wheat, and vanilla. light body with a foamy type carbonation.

UPDATED: SEP 15, 2011 Bottle @ home. Cloudy orange-brown appearance with a slight off-white head. Spicy yeasty, clove, mild to moderate banana, citrusy nose. Yeasty, citrusy, clove, mild banana, yeasty, wheat malty flavor. Not all that good.

Half liter bottle, $3.50 @ Binny’s. I pulled this to celebrate closing on a re-fi. Not a big celebration beer, but it’s been in my cellar since July, and the date notch is for Feb. 10. Yep, it gushes out of the bottle. In my .5 l weizen glass, there’s a LOT of foam, with a few wheat particles in the foam. Still, a clean wheat beer smell, just a touch of clove nose so far. Of course I laid it on its side in the fridge, so the yeast is in there, making for a slightly murky yellow color. But the taste is okay, after all. There some aging in the malt, true, but the usual hefeweizen esters have dwindled away, leaving this to taste like a maltier version of an American wheat. Some strong alcoholic notes, and more dark bits floating in my glass, Hey, it’s an unfiltered weizen, I’ll take it.

Poured into a snifter. Appearance is a hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma is bananas, cloves, and citrus. Taste is orange and clove with banana coming through at the very end. The beer is heavy feeling on the tongue but is light in body. Overall a good beer for the price. Also, I love the poptop.

Taste is pretty good. Light wheat and yeasty. Pours a cloudy medium yellow with a thick white head.

500ml bottle from Bert’s Better Beers. Orange color. Large, frail, yet thick, white head. Grainy aroma with the pleasant banana clove you get from a Hefe. . Flavor provides more yeasty, very grainy with the clove. Clean, but you can definitely tell this is bottle conditioned... its thin, but not watery. A light hefe, but with the standard palate. Hard to get used to this beer... not bad, but not REAL enjoyable. Overall still a good Hefe, I love this style, so I would buy again depending on the selection or place I’m buying beer at.

(500ml bottle) Pours a hazy golden body with a medium white head. Aroma of wheat, banana, vanilla, and earth. Flavor of banana, bread, light butter, subtle bubblegum, and wheat.

Bottle. Poured a hazy pale with a white head that settled to a ring and left light lace. aroma of wheat, clove, and dark fruits. The flavor found wheat and clove. Light body and a wheat aftertaste.
