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.

A little too sweet for my liking, but an excellent Hefe - very creamy and thick, but still smooth. There is definitely something of the banana about it, whatever that means.

A great Hefeweizen! Nice banana flavor and aroma. Pours a milky light bronze color. Smooth finish and a treat on a hot summer day or evening!!

From the bottle, pours a hazy light orangish with a thick foamy white head. Aroma is not overpowering, but has lightly distictive notes of banana and yeast, as would be expected. Thicker than many heffies, smooth and malty without losing touch with the cloves, yeast, and light banana that the hefe is known for. A fine beer.

Pours a hazy orange with a nice white head. Aroma of spices and banana. Taste is a crisp sweetness, which is refreshing and nice. Spicy taste in there more than in other German hefes. Light palate, but not watery like other beers in the type.

From a 0.5 L bottle purchased locally. Aroma is fruity, grainy and a little sweet. Color is pale golden, a little hazy, with a half inch white head. Flavors are grainy, and a little banana fruityness. Light, refreshing. Easy on the pallate, and just enough bitterness. Not as crisp as it should be. Probably starting to show a little age. Still a decent beer.

50cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Florida). Pours a slightly cloudy golden with a thin white head. Aroma: lemon, citrus, fruit with a hint of nuts. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty citrusy, with just a hint of hoppy bitterness on finish.
