Very sweet. Almost like root beer. This very distinctive taste just might become a favorite of mine. I think I tasted cloves, but I think German law prohibits adding any spices to the beer. This is a great great beer!

Cloudy pale golden yellow color, a nice white head. Classic fruity/yeasty German Hefe aroma. Flavor profile is quite a bit less sharp and acidic than a lot of Hefes, as the description points out. Very nice effervescent mouthfeel. Pleasant lemony citrusiness and some smooth wheat flavors. Finish is citric and refreshing. Quite a well done beer.

An excellent german wheat, without a doubt, great banana and yes, wheaties taste, smooth and full, perfect wheat beer.

Bottle. Traditional wheat look with a nice nose. I enjoyed the spicy, coriander, vanila, and banana kick that often seems missing in wheat beers. A quick dry finish with a little bite as expected.

Nice complex aroma, balanced flavour with banana but not too much. Could do with less carbonation. Excellent Weissbier.

Nice German Wheat beer.

this is my first weisbier, and deffinatly not my last. pours a cloudy yellow with a good head. very good beer.

A milky, light brown weissbier. The aroma is sweetish but the aftertaste is dry and bitter. I was neither impressed nor dissapointed.

Huge white short lasting head over typical medium hazy yellow-orange colour. Lotsa corn syrup aromas and flavour. Full soft smooth body with sweetish palate I marked it down slightly for what seemed like a slightly artificial bitter aftertaste.

Pours with a huge rocky head. Big banana aroma and taste. Very clean, dry aftertaste. A top notch hefe all the way.
