valpoaj (362), Valparaiso, Indiana, USA Mar 18, 2008 Been looking to try this one for a while...pours a orangey-golden with an intense head typical of a Hefe. Aroma is very wheaty, citrusy (banana), with good levels of spice (mostly clove, some coriander). Flavor is best described as ’clean’...and this is a beautiful Hefe! Very sweet with banana, a fairly healthy amount of bubble gum, a bit of tartness, lots of wheat, lemon, and definitely some good spice, mainly clove. Slightly more oily on the palate than most Hefes I’ve had in the past. Could drink these all the time, summer or winter! There’s a reason this is such a highly rated Hefe. If this were renamed Weihenstephaner Barrel Aged Hefe Weissbier, this would be a top 50 brew!

Finishes with a sharp lemon taste on the palate. Carbonation is solid. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Mar 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with thick, bubbly head. Aroma is rising dough, graininess. Flavor is lightly sweet, fluffy bread, mild bubblegum, allspice, earthy notes. Very light bitterness in the finish. Palate is full, creamy, lively with carbonation. gam (1059), brisbane, Australia Mar 16, 2008 Orange /yellow pour,large bubbly head,good carbonation,head settling down but will last well.Aroma rich wheat a toffee note or brown sugar,malted barley sweetness.Flavour very sweat wheat,sure it,s coriander in there,mellow orange a bubbly sensation on the tongue(on the palate).Finish has the sensation,bubbly sweet,dry.A different wheat drink from them in a way,very pleasant. crazyvin (1245), New York, USA Mar 15, 2008 The only disappointment i had with this brew was it was too thin and light on the palate. Poured a nice hazy amber hue with a frothy white head which faded to a thin coating. Aroma was very fruity banana notes some spice too it.Flavor was mostly sweet but had some nice bread like notes throughout. masto (77), Helsinki, Finland Mar 15, 2008 Bottle. Fresh aroma of citrus and banana. Hazy light gold with huge head. Mild taste of banana and a lot of wheat. Too carbonated for me. Was hoping for more taste - I prefer the Kristal tbh ScoWRee (275), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 14, 2008 Pours a pale golden color with a huge white foamy head. Aroma of citrus,banana and yeast. Taste of banana and cloves. I guess it would be a nice summer brew. RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA Mar 14, 2008 Pours cloudy orange with a hige frothy head. Aroma of banana, citrus, grass, and yeast. Smooth flavor with a pungent finish. Honestly, not quite as much flavor as I was hoping for. I’ve had this before and have found it to be tastier. I bought the bottle at a store that’s not a "beer" store, so this might have been sitting on the shelf for a while. Will re-rate with another bottle.
