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.

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

Smelled like ketchup and tasted like onion rings. Very unusual brew, with a sour-sweet taste not unlike a saison. Not a particular fan, but props for uniqueness.

Bottle, split with after4ever. Pours cloudy gold with a lacy white head. Just a bit of banana and soft cloves in the aroma. Medium body and light carbonation. The taste picks up the same notes as the nose. I’d like to try one of these badboys on tap.

Bottle. Not crazy about the way hefeweisse beer looks, love the way it smells and tastes. Cloudy, yellow color. Smells of cloves and slight fruit. Tastes of spice and fruit. Best hefeweisse their is.

The king of german weissbiers, enjoyed along with a creamy soup, to which it was a perfect match! Extra soft and round plate and flavor, along with classic notes of banana and wheat, i think i still prefer the paulaner, but i have to match then some day.

Draft @ BSP. Pours a lovely, respectably cloudy sunset orange with massive billowing head. Nose is peppery and clove-like, with a bready yeast bite, and minimal lemony tartness. Very full on the palate, with wheaty malts in balance with slight citric tartness and a hay, barnyard hop character. Finishes smooth and crisp, with hardly any bitterness. An effortlessly drinkable hefeweissbier, pretty much the standard in my opinion.

Golden and cloudy with a good sized white head. Aroma is citrus and banana with spices. Flavor is clove and banana. Great example of a Weissbier.
