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. 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.

From bottle. Pours to a light yellow-ish orange with a sizable, 2 finger head. Good amount of carbonation. Lots of yeast and some citrus and banana on the nose. The aroma gives a strong hint to the flavor, with a good deal of citrus coming through right after a yeasty first taste. A bit of clove, as other reviewers have suggested. Coriander as well. Smooth finish, very clean. A strong example of the style.

Foi com essa cerveja que descobri as verdadeiras cervejas de trigo. Aroma frutado, lembrando banana e caramelo. Espuma densa e persistente, cremosa. Sabor com toques de fermento.

Bottle. Poured with a wonderfully thick creamy head. Cloudy and hazy amber colour- great taste with a fruity aroma.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow color with a thick, rocky white head that diminished slowly to a thick layer. Aroma of lemons, banana, wheat, clove, and some light yeastiness. Tart, crisp entry with some lemon and wheat transitions into a soft banana and clove spiciness, followed by soft apricot paired with some doughy yeast. Crisp finish. Low carbonation, but the wheat provides a nice bite to complement the flavor. Very nice, refreshing beer.

Cloudy orange body with three pretty fingers of puffy lumpy white head that falls at the edges leaving a nice dome of lasting foam. Strong yeasty clove spice aroma and bananas. Taste is smooth and sweet bubblegum, wheaty body, pear and bananas.
