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.

Murky dark apricot with frothy thick white top, opaque. Smells of ginger, oranges, lychees, and strawberries. Tastes of berries, ginger, and vanilla. Mild and bitterless. Might be better in cold temperature.

Pours an unfiltered apricot color with a minimal off white head and is active. Lots of banana malt smell with a beerish aroma. The taste is wheaty with hints of banana and vanilla. This light bodied beer has soft carbonation. Very drinkable.

Bottle. Hazy dark yellow colour with a huge white head. Banana, yeast and wheat in aroma. The flavour is sweet, banana, yeast and wheat. Well-balanced and very tasty hefeweizen.

Pours fairly ugly peach color with quickly dissipating head. Aroma of pear, apple, peach, lemon, and a good amount of wheat. Flavor is not too sweet, with notes of peach, pear, a nice dose of lemon, cinnamon, coriander, and wheat. Palate is fairly full with a semi-dry finish. Not bad.

The classic weissbier, never disappoints. Cloudy golden color with a nice white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, banana, and clove. Typical light wheaty flavor, yeasty, refreshing, fruity, with clove and banana. Very refreshing. Always a good call (unlike Miller, which claims this, but is a terrible beer).

Mini growler from Half-Time. Pours a hazy light amber with a good sized white head. Nose is citrus and wheat, almost a little clove spice, and a good amount of banana and yeast. Carbonation is subtle, mouthfeel is medium but light. Slight sweetness leads into a light crisp yeasty finish.

Appearance: Textbook, enormous, white head; darker orange color; moderate haze Aroma: Like banana bread with cloves; very typical, nothing out-of-the-ordinary Flavor: Better than Ayinger; better balance; good banana and clove flavor with a stronger wheat, some vanilla, and subtle citrus; Complex Palate: Nothing to complain about; Long, enjoyable finish; wheaty creaminess

(I had a Double IPA before this, so my taste buds are a little shot.) Pours to a pale, cloudy amber with light, quickly dissipating white head that laces the glass with a medium grip. The nose is pure spice and banana, a sign of good things to come. This moderately carbonated hefe is a very spicy beer from start to finish, and as refreshing as any wheat brew should be. Most certainly worth visiting every few months.
