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.

0.5l bottle. Aroma is typically hefeweizen. Yeast and wheat and banana. Pours a cloudy orange-brown with a moderate head. Palate is smooth. Flavour is nice and not overpowering. Notes of cloves, banana, wheat. Hmm. Perfect for this brutally hot day.

Pours a cloudy darky yellow with a BIG foamy head. The aroma is straight up wheat and yeast, with some light citrusy notes. The flavour is spicey, and fruity with a standard banana flavour finish. A damn refreshing beer, and the foamy mouthfeel is bang on. Goes damn good with some fresh beef jerky.

if you are in the mood for a nice wheat beer then this one fits the bill. Pours murky orangish colour. wheat and yeast on the nose. Good mouthfeel and as good of a flavour as you will likely get for the style. Nice on a hot day. prefer it to original schniederweisse, hackerpschorr?

Murky blond beer; head creamy but dissipated quickly. Fruity aroma and lemon wheat aldehydic flavor with mild sweetness. Smooth mouthfeel. A little flat but could have been the tap. Good but not great beer; will try again on a hot day.

I tried this beer on May 31, 2008 after purchasing from the Queen’s Quay LCBO outlet in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy orange colour with a generous bubbly head. The aroma was mild wheat, some hops, and some spiciness with a malty feel. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, slippery, with a lot of carbonation. The flavour was sweet and spicy with wheaty, malty, and soime fruit tones in the mix.

Pours orange and is slightly cloudy, with a frothy head at first and then a thinner creamy looking head. Smells of yeast and wheat exactly what this style is known for. The flavor is very smooth, has a sort of citrus hint and a little banana along with yeast and wheat. This is a great Hefeweizen!

Poured a cloudy orange with a blooming white head. Strong and complex aroma; sour wheat and yeast, hints of banana. Tangy sour flavour, very refreshing bubblegum sweetness. Nice palate. Excellent beer, one of my favourites.
