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.

Cloudy golden color with a thick white creamy head. Smell is wonderfully strong of clove, banana, and citrus. A ton of body to this one. Taste is the same as the smell but there’s a thickness about it that says this is a great beer. Also get notes of bread and a mild butter taste. I think this is one of the better weizens out there.

The way a wheat beer should taste, lots of yeast and a fruity taste, banana and citrus comes to mind. A favourite.

Pale yellow color; Very creamy medium body; Aroma of banana, yeast, and light citrus; Flavor mainly of banana, malt, and clove - some citrus as well; What sets this beer apart from other hefe-weizens though, is its perfect balance; The gold standard of the style - one of my favorites.

A bit bubbly. Bigger bubble on the white head. Aroma has wheat, citrus and banana. Light and easy to drink. Not too complex and slightly thinner than the Franz. Pretty good overall.
