Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: German Hefeweizen
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

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.

This 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.

Bottle. Dark golden with huge creamy head. Intense wheat, banana, bubblegum and yeast aroma and flavour. Great carbonation. Smooth and bitter finish. Great beer.

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.

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.
