Commercial Description:
Authentic wheat beer, brewed in the Southern German tradition, won the Silver Medal in 1997 and the Gold Medal at the 2000 in GABF.. Penn Weizen is top-fermented, cask-conditioned, and very effervescent with a slight hint of tangy clove flavor.

Pretty good attempt. Nice mild flavor you’d expect. Very nice aroma of spice and banana. Pretty pour, very cloudy pale yellow. Nice summer beer.

Golden......very hazy......opaque. Soft white head. Slightly spicy aroma, with a generous hint of clove. Mellow wheat malt taste in the front......very crisp mouthfeel. Finishes spicy, with a slight tartness.

Starts as banana and bubblegum and end as band-aid. Snoopy yellow with cloudy complexion. Was pleasantly surprised because the lable screamed mediocre. Another BOMC that I’d drink if I stumbled upon in a saloon in PA (which could happen).

12oz bottle poured into a weizen glass. PW pours very cloudy and a dull golden color. It has an aroma of yeast, grass and lemon that portends greatness. The flavor is strong and delicious. This is a wonderful copy of authentic German hefeweizens. There is a lot of yeasty banana bread and a touch of lemon and orange along with substantial clove. This is one of the better beers I’ve had in a while. The finish is quick and dry.

Bottle. Solid Weizen in the classic bavarian style. Pours with a hazy color. Quite strong aromas of banana and bubblegum. Nice flavors of wheat, bread and banana with some lemon and ornage notes. Very nice body and a very nice hefeweizen

Last BOM selection (thank God I don’t have to rate another one of these). Extremely cloudy due to the sandy yeast particles that spilled into the body of the beer, this one was as yellow as the bottle with a small white head. Taste lacks complexity but is a bit more bold that it’s BOM counterparts. Banana, clove, with a hint of citrus. Just couldn’t get into it.

Opaque buff with some yeast chunks and little head. Wheaty, yeasty banana aroma with a touch of nail polish. A little watery but considering the alcohol not too bad. Straight forward Hefe but not as soft or subtle as its German brethren.
