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.

after Paulaner, this is probably my favorite hefe. pours a darker yellow, almost brown with a much cloudier appearance. aroma is predicably yeasty and citrusy. it has more bite than Paulaner and it stays on the palette longer. quite good.

Too bad U.S. craft brewers cannot emulate this fine Weissbier. Nothing compares. hazy straw color with rocky white head. nose is a delightful mix of estery, bananna, clove, and bread. Very appetizing. palate is a glorious mix of malt/wheat with plenty of fruit and that nice estery banana taste. Finish is very appetizing as well. Have to have another.

Straw color/hazy with thin white head. Big banana/estery aroma. Spicy flavor with banana and clove notes. Top notch wheat beer. Doesn’t get much better than this. On tap at Peculier Pub, NYC.

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.
