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.

Tasted at Emmetts Tavern in West Dundee at their quarterly beer tasting. Pours a hazy golden color with a very thick white head. Aroma is light clove, slight ester profile is present, lots of yeast and wheat. Flavor is very well balance with the esters being light in the background with a slightly heavier clove but not overdone. There is a slight sweet wheat profile throughout the drink and the yeast really add a great flavor as well as help to carry the density of the brew. Overall a great hefe and one that I can image being even greater fresh or from the tap.

Draft at a party. Poured a hazy light orange with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet wheat with notes of banana, citrus, and yeast. On the palate, it is cabonated and refreshing. The flavor brings out a bit of clove and a few other spices. I am normally not a huge fan of a Hefeveizen, but this was exceptional. Thanks Gregg.

Pours from the bottle with a huge white rocky head and a hazey yellow-amber colour. Well balanced wheat bear flavours cloves and banana/bubble gum. A lively carbonation gices the beer a nice crisp mouthfeel. Nice.

On tap at Binnys South Loop. Pour golden with a big, fluffy white head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is of fruits, citrus, spice, grass. and malt. Aroma smells very refreshing and inviting. Taste starts off with lots of assorted fruit flavors up front. Delicious spiciness with lots of citrus in the body. Each sip finishes with a load of wheat and yeast. Lingering citrus taste. Very light body that drinks very easy. Well-balanced, and very refreshing. I liked it.

Aroma is spicy banana city. Creamy carbonation. Unfiltered apricot color. A bubbly very smooth beer with a hoppy slightly bitter finish, and that seltzer-y mouth tingle. very refreshing, fruity and light.
