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. Aroma of banana and cloves. Hazy golden pour with a good fluffy white head. Tastes of banana, citrus fruit and spice. Very well balanced German wheat beer, refreshing too.

Pours with a cloudy yellow body topped by a thick head with some lacing left on the glass. It’s slightly sweet with notes of clove, light banana and lemon. Light bodied, crisp and smooth.

De couleur dorée-orangée et très trouble, elle dégage des arômes de bananes et des notes d’houblon. En bouche, elle est plutôt tranchante, épicée et pétillante et en finale, les notes plus douces de bananes font surface. Le houblon apparait quelque peu en arrière goût. Bonne bière.

Cloudy golden color with a thick white creamy head. Smell is wonderfully strong of clove, banana, and citrus. A ton of body to this one. Taste is the same as the smell but there’s a thickness about it that says this is a great beer. Also get notes of bread and a mild butter taste. I think this is one of the better weizens out there.

The way a wheat beer should taste, lots of yeast and a fruity taste, banana and citrus comes to mind. A favourite.

Cloudy yellow color; Very creamy medium body; Aroma of banana, yeast, and light citrus; Flavor mainly of banana, malt/wheat, and clove - some citrus as well; What sets this beer apart from other hefe-weizens though, is its perfect balance; The gold standard of the style - one of my favorites.
