Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

16.9 oz bottle. Overall, this is a yeasty, wheaty and spicy (clove/coriander) hefe. I detected less banana and general sweetness than in others of the style. Love the creamy, low fizz texture. Nice, but maybe it would have been better if fresher, or an a hotter day.

Pours a bright golden color with a huge, long-lasting, fluffy head. Aroma is light citrusy fruits, yeasty, with some malt. The beer looks good and also tastes good. The flavor is bananas, cloves, with some wheaty malts, perhaps a touch grassy, with some spices as well. Light and refreshing but a well-rounded hefe. If this isn’t the best hefe I’ve ever had it’s definitely close! Re-rate 4/16/09. Golden color, huge fluffy head, nice retention. Mostly same banana/clovey flavors, creamy and spices on the palate, light and refreshing. Not quite as good as initial review but damn good and one of the best hefe’s around.

500 ml bottle. Poured into a weizen. Pours a cloudy straw color with a huge white head that dissipates quickly. Very nice looking in my weizen glass. A very light, refreshing treat that is heavy on the banana and clove character. Medium bodied. No bitterness present. Has a very clean finish. Best hefe that I have tried so far, but I like the weihenstephaner hefe dark a bit better. I have become a fan of this brewer. Update...Having another one of these and it[s even better than the last time. The ideal hefe.

500ml. Pours hazy dark orange with a pillowy, lavish white head that never goes away. The nose is possibly the only weak point of this beer, I get mostly straw and wet grass. Body flavors include lemon rind, banana, grass, coconut. Palate is easily the winner hear with a fine carbonation but palate coating viscosity that carries the finish on for quite some time. A great beer.

On tap @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad, Sweden. First time I had it on tap, but it’s really good on bottle too. One my favourite Hefeweizens. Hazy pale amber color with a nice white head. Aroma is spicey with notes of citrus, banana, yeast and wheat. Flavour is pretty much the same. Lightly sweet, lightly acidic (in a good way). Banana, citrus, spices, yeast. Feels very refreshing in the mouth, quite much carbonation. Extremely drinkable!

Bella weizen di classe, tra quelle un po’ più facili da trovare al supermarket direi la migliore; unica nota di demerito sapore lievemente metallico però nel retrogusto sfuma decisamente. Ricca e gustosa ma allo stesso tempo molto godibile, dissetante e golosa. Bravo

Pours golden color with a thick, dense head. Aroma is very sweet, almost candy like. Taste is sweet, hoppy, citrucy, with some spices (?). Pretty good, just not really my thing. Probably wouldnt buy again.

Hazy yellow under fluffy white head, good lacing throughout. Understated nose, and a full palate. Peppery and sweet, with citrus following. Really nice.
