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.

Wow, such a joy for the mouth. Cloudy yellow in appearance. Yeast and citrus to your nose. The taste, OH the taste. Lot’s of layers, there’s yeast, then comes the citrus. The bitterness then nips your palate and leaves your tongue tingling while it mulls it all over and yearns for another sip.

500ml bottle. Huge head with big bubbles. Really strong wheaty and spicy aromas, lots of yeast. Slightly cloudy golden colour. Great flavour! Gloriously refreshing. Layers of flavours make way for a very flat tasting finish, which isn’t perfectly in line with my tastes, but the layers of flavour are wonderful. Complex but not intimidating, very good.

On tap at Trykbar. Cloudy golden colour with a big long lasting head. It has a wheaty and spicy aroma with banana and citrus notes. The flavour is nicely balanced with notes of wheat, banana, citrus and spices. Very nice hefeweizen.

white: delicious, wheaty, smooth and sweet. I could drink a dozen of these and want more. Basically the epitome of the Bavarian wheat beer style.

650 mL bottle. Beautiful hazy gold with a nice foamy head. Hoppy citrus, banana, and a sharp fruitiness in the aroma. Taste of sweet banana and wheat with a slight tanginess. Perhaps a bit thin at the start. Very smooth finish, with a touch of hops and a pleasant return of the original flavours. Glory!

On draft. Hazy yellow pour with good bright white head. Nose of banana and clove. Flavor is much the same. A fantastic hefe. One of the best germans for sure

It smells like a wheat field and is a pure wheat straw color, just slightly cloudy. It has a pure delicious wheat beer flavor in the tradition of the German purity laws. There is a smooth, lingering, pleasant aftertaste as well.
