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.

Appearance: initial head is average and creamy, white and with good lacing; mostly diminishing. Cloudy and thick body, dark yellow hue. Aroma: banana, dough, little vanilla and clove, moderate yeast. Initial flavor: moderate sweet and light acidic. Final flavor: light sweet and acidic; short duration. Palate: light-medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation and slightly chalky finish. It tastes like a cake made of banana, vanilla and cinnamon.

16.9oz bottle. Pours clear golden orange with a large fluffy white head. Aroma and flavor of bananas, cloves, and yeast. Not too sweet. Crisp, refreshing, and highly drinkable. A fine example of a style I do not usually prefer.

Hazy yellow gold pour with a thick frothy white head that retains very well. Excellent wheat and yeast spice aroma. Taste is amazingly crisp wheat. Less sweet than most wheat beers and that is why it’s one of the best.

On tap @ Jake’s Bar and Bistro, this one is on quite regularly at Jake’s and I love it, from the oldest brewery, great spiced bread and old banana flavors, call me crazy but a brewery that’s been there for almost 1000 years has got it down!

Pretty clear for a hefeweizen, white head does not last. Taste is some bannanas and cloves plus bread and yeast. Good beer - its drinkable and refreshing though not particularly memorable.

Bottle poured into a pint glass. Color was a hazy light gold color, with frothy white 1-inch head. Aroma of cloves, wheat, orange, coriander, and flowers. Taste was of citrus and spice. Awesome mouthfeel, very crisp and quenching. Great beer.

Very smooth Hef with great aftertaste that rests on the back of the tongue. One of the best Hefs I have had hands down. This would be great on a warm summer day with some beer brats.

Pours a crystal gold with a fluffy head. Some light fruit on the nose, and the taste is This is such a refreshing beer; it begs to be sipped on a patio in the summer. One of my favorites. A little on the simple side when it comes to flavor, but always satisfying when you’re looking for something light. Pairs great with candied walnuts.
