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.

Good German Hefeweizen. Pours a nice cloudy straw yellow with a nice but short lived white head. Plenty of bannana and yeast in the nose. Flavor has abundant bannana, yeast and clove. A very nice refreshing brew.

16.9 oz Bottle-Cloudy golden yellow w/a pure white head & great lacing. Spiced, fruity aroma. Flavors of wheat, banana, spice, citrus, & cane sugar. Very smooth & easy to drink w/a great mouthfeel & good carbonation. I’d say this is the best Hefe I’ve ever had, very good brew.

The undisputed king of the fruity banana aroma Hefeweizen (with Schneider Weisse being the leader for bready Hefes). Pours a light orange color with huge white head. Heavy-duty banana aroma with some clove. The aromas are so damn seductive they immediately pull you back to the glass just after you have put it down. Taste is bananas galore and citrus, slightly sweet. Perfect mouthfeel and carbonation, refreshing and smooth. Drinkability is only limited by how many bottles you have left or how soon you pass out. Damn this is good! In this case, "the world’s oldest brewery" is not just some gimmicky slogan, it means quality.

Bottle. Powerful aroma of yeast and wheat. Cloudy light orange body, large fluffy white head. Flavor is strong wheat, banana, lemon, mildly sweet. Finish also has some sweetness. Pretty much the perfect Hefe.

Really good hefe. I hear people talk about this like it’s the definitive example of the style. It definitely is good, but I’m not sure it’s head and shoulders above the rest. Still, tasted so good to miy palate.
