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.

Poured from a tap a light cloudy orange. Sweet and refreshing combination of notes and yeast with a touch of fruit,

Bottle. Pours a perfect cloudy orange/gold with a big white head. Aroma is banana, clove, yeast, and floral touches. perfect. Flavor is slightly sweet, with all of the elements of the aroma in perfect form. Finishes a bit dry, with a slightly lingering yeast flavor. Have had this multiple times in hefe tastings, and it always stands out as the clear winner.

A little dark on the pour. This is an amber in color with a huge, two inch of pillowy head. Looks great! Smell is all wheat, some lemon and some other spice being noticed as well. More wheat and you can taste the yeast in there as well. This is a Hefe in the purest sense of the word. Clean and non-cloying. Refreshing, perfect warm weather beer. Here comes the stateside part of my review: I think it would improve with some vigorous hopping, lol.

Draft. Really tasty old German-style hefe. A touch of bananas, but mostly just lovely yeast and refreshing citrus. Just what a German hefe should be.

Pour is cloudy golden with a very fluffy white head. Aroma is quite potent with wheat, floral aromas, light orange, and spice. Flavors are full with floral and a medium but very smooth sweet orange peel. I got a lot of yeast in the flavor as well finishing with a wheat finish. Good brew. Would buy again. Very refreshing

Bottle: pours a cloudy orange with a big frothy white head, aroma of banana and yeast, taste is just a touch sour with banana and some spices, nice refreshing hefe.
