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.

Bottle, poured a nice head... swirled to get the yeast and added to the glass. Dynamic baked bread aroma. Spicy too with honey and cloves. Very yeasty and malty. Smooth on the palate. Great flavor. One of the best Hefe Weissbiers I have tried. Perfect in every way.

Tap last night at my local. A pleasant yeasty spicyness. Light to medium body. Citrus and clove dominate the nose with whisps of light malts. Malts appear in second half of mouthfeel. Great on a cold night.

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.
