Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

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

Bottle. This tastes remarkably good for an import. I can only imagine the flavour of a fresh draught pint. Pours a tall golden colour, cloudy, with a generous, aromatic head: smells of lemon, banana. Someone here wrote bubblegum aroma: I can understand that. The flavour is heavy on the banana, with a bit of pleasantly sour fruit. The bottled weissbier of choice.

Fantastic German Weissbier. Lovely Hoppy aroma, complemented by a scent of clove and friuty overtones! Great out of a bottle, great from draught! Best German Weissbier I have ever had.

7 oz draught sample. Cloudy yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma of bread and yeast. Taste of the same with some subtle hints of citrus. Slightly watered down finish.

From bottle. Wonderful sweet banana wheat aroma, with clove and mild citrus notes, yeast funkyness and light gaseousness. Great nose on this one - this exemplifies what I think of when I think German Hefeweizen smell. Cloudy medium amber body with foamy off-white creamy-foamy lacing head. Medium bodied, with medium carbonation that’s almost effervescent. Starts with terrific fresh sweet wheat malt, light banana, and some chalky bitterness. Light amount of citrus character and yeasty taste. Even a bit of clove and vanilla in there, too. Light and refreshing and one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

500 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, yeast, ester and a bit spicy. Flavor is refreshing fruity, citrus, banana and yeast. Medium body as preferred with this type of beer, very nice and close to perfect.

Pours pale yellow, slightly cloudy, big, dense head. Lacing that clings thickly to the side of the glass. Strong aroma of lemon and banana. Thin but rich body, a little dry. Well balanced taste, slightly sweet, very subtle, some banana and wheat, but other flavors are hard to pick out. A very mild hop aftertaste.

From tap, Great orange-honey color, stronge aroma of apple & banana, nice flavour of banana & clove, well balanced, liked it very much.

(bottle): Pours a cloudy yellow body. Huge foamy white head,.creamy & lasting. Some fruity esters, some spice like clove. Some heaviness in the aroma. Fruity banana-like taste. Somewhat watery, but definately not weak.
