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.

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!

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.

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.

50cl bottle from Supermarket. One of the more favoured hefe-weissbier. A fresh, fruity wheat beer which is very refreshing.

(Bottle) Bours golden cloudy with a big head. Aroma is yeasty with some citrus notes. Flavour is wheaty with yeast esters. A very refreshing and drinkable hefeweizen, really nice (I think this was a rather fresh bottle)

On tap at Newport Pizza and Ale house. Aroma is yeasty with esters of banana and coriander. Color is a hazy orange yellow with very good carbonation and a big thick head. Taste is light and fruity. Starting with medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes on with a fruity yeast flavor and a mellow citrus taste then ends with a faint banana and coriander flavor and a gentle bitterness. After taste is clean with the citrus taste riding out the longest. This is one of the best Hefeweizens I nave ever had.

50 cl bottle. Dim amber/orange with plenty of white lathing head. Citrus and banana in aroma, some bread as well behind that typical wheat beer aroma. Sweet taste with banana and bread. A suitable acidity and a thick mouthfeel.
