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.

Fizzy golden w/ huge pale head. Strongly wheaty nose, raw banana, clove, yeast. Flavor is quite spritzy, wheat, peppery spices, a hint of alcohol. This bottle was surprisingly low on fruitiness. Medium bodied, slick palate. It’s a good weisse, but I’ll go with Ayinger.

Alot sweeter than most hefes, but this leaves nothing to be desired. Its a very deep taste that changes as it sits in your mouth. Less sweet finish. Not too lemony, which is very refreshing.

Pours a cloudly yellow/gold color. Aroma is very yeasty with banana, clove, and a hint of bubble gum. Taste is the same, with a metallic and flat finish.

Not my favourite style, but very nice indeed. Aroma is yeasty with just a hint of banana and clove. taste is strong for the style and the aftertaste lingers pleasantly. "The World’s Oldest Brewery" seems to have perfected this style.

Bottle. Lovely cloudy light golden pour with a nice bubbly and lasting head. Bananas, yeast, clove on the nose. A little citrus. Very bright and flavorful. This is such a standard Hefe it’s almost hard to describe... it’s exactly what a Hefeweizen should be. A classic.

typical hefe pour. nice cloudy yellow pour, with a great big white head. Lovely aromas of banana, and bubble gum. Some nice yeasty esters. Flavour is nice and yeasty, with some great clove, and banana. A nice slightly tangy finish. a great hefe. Spot on for the style, and excellent example.

500 ml bottle from the LCBO. everything about this brew is pure hefe. no reason to go into real detail about anything because nothing really stands out from anything else. just a very good example of this style. great summer brew.
