CptGreencoat (68), Kettering, Ohio, USA Feb 5, 2009 (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. TungstenGT (33), Birmingham, Alabama, USA Feb 1, 2009 Updated: Apr 8, 2009This is my all time favorite Hefeweizen. Any time I get a chance this is my selection. Such a great taste, palate, and appearance. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes Hefeweizen. nate2g (1034), Brisbane, Australia Jan 31, 2009 Bottle. Dark golden with huge creamy head. Intense wheat, banana, bubblegum and yeast aroma and flavour. Great carbonation. Smooth and bitter finish. Great beer. CanIHave4Beers (838), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Jan 30, 2009 This beer looks amazing. Such an enormous fluffy meringue like head, a nice cloudy light orange color. Plenty of good lace. The smell is intensely yeasty and dry with some good fruit scents. Some spiciness, some copper, and some bread dough. Flavor is just so quintessential for the style. but the notes are so well amplified. This is a fantastic tasting beer. There is a immediate yeasty and bubblegum flavor some apple and citrus along with the classic banana clove combination. This is sweeter than many hefes so I take it one bottle at a time, but it is such a delight. Taverner (827), San Ramon, California, USA Jan 29, 2009 Aroma is bubblegum and must. Nose is all clove. Pours a crystal clear golden. Flavor is sweet, cloveish and slightly back biting bitter. Definitely a true Hef! Bready notes strike in between the clove and bubblegum notes. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Jan 25, 2009 16.9 oz $3.20. Nice cloudy yellow, superb head. Typical smells of cloves. Flavor is bubblegum, clove, blackjack nice. This was definitely a good hefe and I am fairly ignorant when it comes to German beers. I’ll be picking up some more Weihenstephaner beers in the future.

Beautiful hazy golden body, white head, lots of visible carbonation. Aroma: wheat, stewed lemons, hops. Flavour: wheat and citrus, hoppy-yeast finish. Clean and crisp. Awesome. jmm635 (250), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 22, 2009 Pours a hazy pale yellow with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma was fantastic! The scent of bananas fills the nose, along with some really strong yeast scents. The flavor is similar, but has a nice malty base. Great carbonation, feels real lively in your mouth and is very, very drinkable. Easily the best hefeweizen I have tasted.
