GregClow (2493), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Aug 4, 2008 Bottle from the LCBO. Strange that I haven’t rating this yet, I’ve gone through a few bottles while it’s been available here this summer. Pours a hazy dark golden with a big pillowy white head. Aroma of a solidly textbook hefe - OK, a bit heavier on the cloves than some, but still right on style. Same goes for the flavour - fresh and yeasty and wheaty, with notes of cloves, banana and a bit of bubblegum. Nice soft mouthfeel as well. I love this style, and I love this beer. Yves (989), Beerse, Belgium Aug 4, 2008 Hazy blond coloured beer with small white head and no visible carbonation. Yeasty aroma. Full palate. Finish is yeasty and fruity. hopeye101 (39), Draughthouse, Texas, USA Aug 3, 2008 Poured a 2 finger head into my pint glass (I know I should’ve used my weizen glass, but I have to hand wash that)...
Head dissipated in about 1 minute. Color is straw, slightly cloudy, I even dumped all the yeast into the glass.
Smell: cloves , what else can I say. Kind of like standing in a field of cloves.
Taste: very clovey, some dryness in the back of the mouth. A tad of sweetness trying to get out but the carbonation keeps it back.
Mouthfeel: Another 5. creamy very nice.
Drinkability : that’s what these beers are made for.
This is a very nice beer which showcases Weihenstephan’s amazing hefe yeast. Perfectly done. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Jul 31, 2008 Updated: Aug 5, 2008Pours a cloudy straw color with a white head that lasts the duration of drinking. Nice, well balanced smell of wheat, yeast, clove and banana. I was drinking out of a tall hefeweizen glass and it laced the entire length of it. great beer! Quevillon (1518), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Jul 28, 2008 Bouteille 500 ml, acheté au LCBO de Summerhill (Toronto), le 14/7/08. Arome de blé malté légèrement épicé, des notes de fruits exotiques. Goût de blé malté doux et savoureux, un petit note d’alcool mais ça passe. J’avais vu le verre de cette bière quant j’ai bu la Denisons Weissbier à Tornoto et j’ai vu la bouteille quelque jour après, j’étais curieux! msante79 (778), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Jul 28, 2008 Had this a while back. Pours light hazy orange with head made up of many small bubbles. Aroma is banana and bread. Flavor is yeast and banana. Not really my style, however as far a the style goes this is pretty good. CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jul 27, 2008 Pours a hazy orange, somewhat muddy body; large, white head, mostly lasting with a fair lacing; small bubbles of average density. The beer has a heavy banana aroma, together with moderate hops notes and moderate-to-heavy yeasty notes, like fresh dough. Flavour is moderately sweet and acidic with a light bitter note that comes up in the long finish. Medium body with an oily texture; lively carbonation; light-to-moderate astringency. Tasty beer, easily sessionable. iammarc (193), Inverness, Scotland Jul 27, 2008 50cl bottle from Supermarket. One of the more favoured hefe-weissbier. A fresh, fruity wheat beer which is very refreshing.
