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.

A tart citrus aroma accompanied the pour of the cloudy golden beer. A nice white head lingered with good lacing. The taste was sweet, with an active carbonation that bit the tongue quickly followed by a hoppy, clove spiciness.

On tap. Poured a cloudy yellow with a nice white head. Very typical aroma, wheaty, citrusy. Good round body. Wheat and banana flavors. Was more pedestrian than I was hoping but a good hefe nonetheless.

Color: slightly cloudy golden with a trace of orange. Thick head that slowly dissipates to about ¼”. Nose: spice and fruit rind. Taste: Malted wheat, touch of clove, hint of grapefruit and lemon. A very clean, smooth, refreshing brew with almost no bitterness. Solid carbonation, slightly dry finish. Nothing is overpowering here. Very pleasant and very good.

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.
