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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Bottle: Poured a deep amber color weisse with a big foamy head with medium retention and no lacing. Aroma of banana and cloves is quite present. Taste is a mix between some banana and cloves ester and some sweet malt. Body is full with loads of lees and minimal filtration and some good carbonation. Not exactly what I was expecting and a bit darker then expected on the appearance side. It is too bad the bottles are not dated since I believe this may have been an older bottle. I will be adding this one to the need to re-rate list. Rerate June 2008: A lot less sediment then last time with a more pronounced aroma of banana and cloves. Very well done.

Bottle. Huge creamy head. Light gold. Cloudy. Floral aroma with citrus, malt and a bit of musty cellar. Sweet taste; clove and orange prominent. Slight banana note and bubble gum in lingering aftertaste. Mouthfeel is full with zesty foaming. Delicious!

Bottle. Great example of a classic Hefe. Great summer beer. Nothing bad to say about this one.
