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.

Bottle from BevMo! Pours a cloudy yellow/gold color. Aroma is very yeasty with banana, clove, and a hint of bubble gum. Taste is the same, with a metallic and flat finish.

A great Hefe. Have not had one of these since I went to Germany. And I do miss it. Cloudy gold and smells of delicious yeast. Tastes of banana and fruit. Decent finish.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow, golden color with a frothy white head with nice lacing. The aroma was of clove and bananas and the flavor was the same, but not as good. The beer has a medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, and an abrupt finish. Overally, this is a good beer. I wish the flavor was as good as the aroma. I would definately drink this beer again.

500ml bottles from Utobeer & Nelson Wines. Cloudy yellow amber with a lovely nose of clove and herbs. Fresh taste and a delicate palate. Overall, a great example of the style.

hazy, golden, white foam, medium bitter, typical weizen, fizzy, medium body. From bottle average flavour but on the tap in skiareals is the best

Aroma of citrus and banana with some added spice. Fluffy head with a mildly translucent pour. Definitely full of spicy banana flavor and a slightly grassy, but clean finish. I will have to buy this one again in July, very refreshing and well done.

On tap at Zeno’s Pub - State College, PA. Aroma is a cold glance of orange peel, a bit of lemon-flavored sugar and some soft bread. Pours a darker yellow, hazed with a thin, lacy white rim. Flavor is relatively and bland. A generic Mauritian white sugar melds with a bit of banana skin and some almond oil. Balanced, with a real juicy finished in line with chamomile and apricots. It’s okay and maybe a standard, but not all that exciting and expressive for the style.
