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.

foamy and murky with a nice muddy palate that’s not too thin. Lot of flavor: banana, citrus. Got this in a 500cl bottle

Bottle. Pours a huge, pillowy, pitted, meringuey, white head. Patchy, sticky lacing. Hazy, golden body with light yeast clouds. Aroma is dominated by clove with a vanilla accompaniment and some light banana and bubble gum esthers. A little dough presence from the yeast with some underlying wheat malt and grain. Creamy, medium bodied palate with prickly carbonation. Very smooth with a lightly bitter finish. Some faint tartness, too, as well as a touch of citrus. Overall a fantastic Hefeweizen, which for me is close (but not quite) to ideal for the style.

Bottle from Tesco. Murky orange/gold colour with lasting foamy white head. Aroma is mostly citrus and yeast with a touch of spice. Cloves and bubblegum/banana are the immediate flavours with an underlying lemon/orange taste and a strange, but very pleasant, touch of overripe apple. Long, dry finish and very light on the tongue. Excellent.

Best Weizen I ever had. Smooth and great banana flavor. Top of its class and a great beer over all.

Bottle, Tesco, Carlisle. Exceptionally cloudy, with a foaming white head, accompanied by a fresh, fruity aroma. Peaches and cream the prominent flavour, with subtle citrus and a big dose of herbs. Nice tangy bitterness on the tongue and, as with the majority of German Hefes, really refreshing.

Aroma perfeito, cor adequada ao estilo, suficiente levedo para se sentir no último gole, mas não tanto que sobre para fazer pão, na quantidade exata, paladar com um "citrus" no fundo , dando o toque certo de uma perfeita Heffeweiben.

Bottle. Slightly hazy yellow with a thick foamy head. Good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma is mostly bready and yeasty with cloves, spices and banana esters. Flavor is more fruity than expected with bread, banana esters and some spices. Medium body. A good heffeweizen.
