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!

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.

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

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.

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.
