Sep 28, 2003 Updated: Feb 26, 2006New rating, 2/26/06. Got a fresher bottle this time (best by 1/30/06), so let’s recheck this pup: I can see I was seduced then by malts that get concentrated with age. This one pours a darker gold color, and a bit more haze than in most American iterations of a weizen. Big banana nose at pour, but not much in the glass, just a sprightly wheat character under a fluffy, short-lived head, poured into a 12-oz. weizen glass. Banana comes back in the taste, with mild notes of clove, and a touch of bubble-gum and vanilla. Not quite the heady feeling I get when drinking a properly-presented Hacker-Pschorr, but I think real Hefeweizen fans will enjoy it.

Another 3-year-old bottle from my stash, so this is a review of how well it ages, which a weiss is not meant to do.
A slight flowery nose when opened, then pours a dark weiss color, with a little less than standard haziness. The spicy flavor has subsided, leaving the malt to deepen to an almost syrupy richness. Hop flavor is subtle, more to make the alcohol feel a little warmer. Taste is well out of the style profile, but ages to a fine beer nonetheless.

Sep 16, 2003 Yellow in color, hazy, with a small white head that is mostly diminishing. Light yeast/dough aroma highlighted by the typical banana & bubblegum. Moderately sweet flavor, likewise in the finish. Creamy, medium-full body is smooth and satisfying.

Sep 9, 2003 I detect a strong roasted note in the flavor...reminded me strongly of hog dogs. Not very sweet. Cloudy, orangy straw color. Just a touch of spice lingers at the end.

Sep 1, 2003 Very strong smell--cloves maybe, or stale bread. Not the same as other hefewiezens.

Jul 23, 2003 Nice cloudy appearance, good floral aroma, sweet flavours - orange, yeast and sugary banana. Lacking the peppery spice I enjoy about many wheats. . . oh well.

Jul 6, 2003 Hazy straw color with a small white head. Nice spice wheat aroma. Refreshing wheat taste, mildly spicey, thirst quenching.
