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.

500ml bottle: Pours hazy, slight golden with an elegant white head. Clove aroma, mineral and malt. Clove dominates flavor, slight banana, prickly carbonation. Light-bodied. Gets more wheaty as it warms.

Pours hazy pale amber with pale gold highlights, and a tall foamy white head, that has good retention and lacing. Aroma is full of banana, some yeasty bread rolls, bubble gum, strawberry starburst, bubble gum, and lemon. Flavor is good, really good. Orange glazed dinner rolls, banana, clove, bubble gum, fruity yeast. Finish is very clean wheat, spicy yeast, and a some watery orange. Body is a little thin...I think, its difficult to gauge since every sip seems like a million flavorful little ants are fighting in my mouth - very over carbonated, but seems to settle down by the end of the bottle. Still, best Hefe I have had.

This Hefeweizen is crisp and heavily carbonated. Strong banana and lemon flavors are present. Citrusy sweetness lingers at the end of a sip

Bottle from Systembolaget. It looks like a unfilterd apple juice with a white head. The aroma contains wheat and yeast. A bit to high on carbonation. Will buy it again in the summer!

Stormy yellow with a cumulus head. Flowery aroma, banana peel flavor with bubble gum and taffy. Fair hops throughout. A top notch hefeweizen.

Bottle. Hazy golden. Thick head. Smells orange and yeast. Tastes vanilla, orange. Too much carbonation. Refreshing.

Worlds oldest brewery...so says the label. Cloudy pale gold with a two inch white head a good amount of lacings. Aroma is spicey. Taste is bready, spicey, some bitter earthy hops. Mouthfeel is very good and highly sessionable. Very nice Hefe. Decent value at $2.99 US for a little over one pint. Well recommended.

500 mL bottle. Pours a murky dark yellow with a decent two-finger white head. Fairly high carbonation. Nose of yeast, bananas, orange peel, lemon zest- standard wheat beer. Taste brings out some cloves and citrus tartness. Fairly light bodied but excellent. Nice dry finish. Best hefeweizen I have had.
