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.

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.

500 ml bottle. Hazy dark yellow, big foamy white head. Yeast and malts in the aroma, with some banana and notes of citrus. Medium-bodied mouthfeel. Spicy flavour of yeast and wheat, some banana as well. I’m not a great fan of hefeweizens, but this one is very pleasant and refreshing.

Was served with lemon at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor (although I didn’t ask). Overall, quite good, and par for the course among higher-quality German hefeweiss beers. Banana and yeast for sure, but didn’t pick up too much clove.

Pours a nice cloudy amber with a creamy white head. Love German Hefes and this one rates pretty high in my book. Refreshing, with slight banana and strong clove and yeast flavors. I could drinks many, many of these in the summer on my patio.

Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with gigantic pillowy white head that. Aroma is yeast, hint of banana, wheat. Taste is wheat, bit of spice, banana and bubblegum. Finishes with a clean taste of wheat and spice. Masterful example of the style, one of my favorites.

Bottle pours hazy yellow with a head that rapidly diminishes. The aroma is of yeast and light malt. The taste is light, a bit of what and just a hint of spice. There is almost an oily mouth feel to this one.
