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.

12 oz bottle from LooseCannon. Muddy gold with a slight white head. Nice banana and clove scent over solid wheat. Flavor is yeasty fruity, spicy clove and banana with touches of lemon. Tasty - and this is a style I’m not crazy about. Nice medium body, soft, with a pretty clean finish. Good.

Date: 09/05/08, 12 oz. bottle

Aroma - Yeast, light fruit notes, faint spiciness, but not the big clove/banana thing going on, although it’s in there, just subdued. Still, very inviting aroma

Appearance - Turbid gold pour with a rapidly building large white head, that unfortunately, settles a little too quickly, and lace is marginal

Flavor - Light maltiness with a bit of lemon like tartness that provides a welcome sour bite. A zesty bitterness at the end brings on a nice dry finish.

Palate - Light body, lots of carbonation, very clean palate

Overall - Nice, easy drinking hefe, not overly bold, but with enough character to hold its own

Bought a 6-pack at Total Wine in Manassas, VA. Pours a cloudy golden color with a decent head. Light malty aroma, with a sense of lemon and citrus. Citrus banana taste, with a hint of malt and some caramel. Decent beer. I’d have it again.

I really like this beer. It gives tastes of bananas and clove, giving this beer a truly unique flavor without over powering the taste buds. I could drink this for quite a while before I would get tired of it.

Bottle. Semi-clear and only gets nice haze when all the yeast is rendered in. Small aerated head. Smells like hefeweizen yeast with banana-sweet aroma. Light body with a thin and dry finish. Sweet entry. Decent, dry, quaffable, and clean.

The characteristics you’d expect in a Barvarian Heffe with a surprise hop kicker at the end; plus, it’s light enough to quaff all evening. In short, very nice.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - JUN 23, 2008
Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Pours a hazy mustard yellow with a minimal head. Aroma of tropical fruits and caramel. Taste is banana, bubblegum, clove. Light bodied.
