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.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, one of the best hefeweizens I’ve had. Not being a fan of hefeweizens, this was interesting with flavors of vanilla and light citrus.

Pours a cloudy golden with a thick frothy white head, yeasty aroma has notes of coriander, vanilla, and banana. Tastes of wheat and banana with a bit of citrus and clove; crisp slightly seet finish. Great creamy mouthfeel. This is an excellent beer; I’m sure I’ll be stocking up on this for the summer.

Orangish in color with a big foamy white head. Aromas of clove and a lot of bananas. Taste is banana with wheat. Very refreshing in the taste.

On Tap. Pours a deep cloudy amber with one the nicest heads I’ve ever seen on a beer. The aroma slight citrus and banana with some subtle floral notes. The flavor is superb. Clean, dry citrus, banana, a sweet yet refreshing floral component, nice wheat/malt backbone to support it all. The palate is equally excellent, on the thick and creamy side for a hefe, but with just enough carbonation to keep the beer truly refreshing. This is a really great beer. Go drink one now.

Bottle pours a cloudy golden color with a foamy white head. Aroma of yeast, banana, and spices. Taste is floral, fruity, with lots of wheat. Decent carbonation from the yeast.

Crazy head. Aroma: Some citrus, a little bit of banana, and floral spice aspect. Yeast gives it a little kick. Taste: Starts pretty bland, then an earthy, floral taste comes in. Finish falls flat and dirty. Palate: This is surprisingly, very watery and thin.

Nice, fresh scent with a touch of banana and citrus. Has a great, bright yellow-orange hazy look, as I think a wheat beer should. White fully head, but doesn’t result in any real lacing. Taste is classic hefe, with a crisp, citrusy taste. Slight bitter aftertaste, but clean. Good example of this style, but at the same time there’s nothing substantially unique about it.
