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 at Heidis Bierbar Århus. Cloudy yellow colour with a big white and lasting head. Aroma and taste of fruit (banana, pineapple, grape) and yeast. Heavy weizen and so much more taste, than Erdinger and Franziskaner. One of the best, if not THE best. Thumbs up Kenni.

Cloudy pour. Aroma has notes of fruit and yeast. Taste reflects the aroma. This is a very good Hefe!

Best Hefewizen ive sampled by a distance.And my first ’offical’ rating of the style on ratebeer : Very soulful. Banana esters are on drugs in this beer...jumping outta the glass .Vibrant wheatines if that doesnt sound too wanky. Lovely beer.

En uppfriskande, vederkvickande, veteöl som får en att glömma bort den grå vardagen. Översköljer alla sinnen och dränker eventuella sorger. Fruktig, graciös och elegant.

Good hefe. Better than the kristal version they produce. Pours cloudy yellow with a nice white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma. Tastes of wheat and banana. Smooth mouthfeel. Good stuff.

FInally a change of pace for me from my usual imperial stouts and IPAs. Smells and tastes of banana, very pleasant, perfect looking pour. Excellent stuff.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy gold body with lots of continuous rising carbonation. Small, but very creamy white head that lasts throughout the entire session, however, leaves minimal lacing. Aroma is bready wheat and bananas. Distinct floral yeast aroma with mellow wheats and a light pepper spice. Flavor is much of the same. Wheat, yeast, ripe banana, and a hint of a light lingering spice. Palate is medium bodied and smooth throughout. Overall, this is probably my favorite hefe and its made damn well. Not the most exciting of styles, but very refreshing and enjoyable.

of all the hefe’s this is top dog. They are only the oldest brewery in the world so there doing something right. the body has a nice golden color with a cloudy haze to it, and a fluffy white head. (this is what i imagine, when i think of a perfect beer should look like) its got a sweet banana aroma. the taste has a perfect blend of banana and clove. (i find a lot of hefe’s have two much of one and not enough of the other) and it goes down so smooth, like grapejuice. if your looking for a nice light beer, or a great beer to enjoy in the summer while sitting around a pool reading a book, or new to craft beer drinking and need a place to start. you just can’t beat this beer. if you like your beers richer or higher in alcohol, you might find this on the weak side. but without a doubt this beer always delivers.
