Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Tap @ Loreley. Quintessential hefewizen with light fluffy white head and lemony sweet spice nose. Very enjoyable on a mild day.

Bottle @ the now out of business La Bodega. Light cloudy yellow, with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is wheat and clove. Flavor is clove, light banana, wheat, a little hop but barely there. A great weizen.

On tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum (Midtown, NYC): the aroma gives off a strong banana and spicy clove feel, but the balance is perfect. Tastes similar to the aroma. Smooth finish, banana notes from beginning to end. Some cinnamon... But overall a chewy feel- definitely not like a crisp pils. Totally opposite and thats what I love about it. #055 on 08072009, DG.

Clasic hefe appearance, big fluffy head that takes forever to dissipate. Smells classic wheat and light underlying fruit. taste is heavy wheat and just a hint of the classic banana flavor in the background. Light spicy finish with a touch of hop character. Overall - just a great, balanced Hefe.

16oz bottle. Awesome yeasty banana aroma with hints of spicy clove. Poured the traditional way (half glass, swirl then pour the rest) it yields a cloudy gold brew with a thin fizzy white head. Carbonation drives forward big yeasty wheat notes with dashes of caramel, clove and cinnamon and tons of banana and bubblegum, slight grass hops on the backend. Complex and layered. I don’t think there are even many german hefe’s that are better than this.

Bottle. Poured a dirty gold with a big creamy head. Aroma of wheat, clove and banana. Aroma was nice, bot would have liked more. Flavor was again not as good as expected, but perhaps I had too high of expectations. That being said, it was quite good for the style and nice on a warm day for sure. Wheat, some banana (not enough) with a dash of clove/spice.
