Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

Bottle. Pours rich yellow with a nice white, long lasting head. Aroma is noticeable bananna. Flavor is spicy and nice. A light refreshing beer.

Poured from a bottle into a weizen glass. Had a cloudy amber appearance with a quarter inch head. Slightly trace of fruit in the aroma, with wheat creeping in. Has a subtlely complex taste, with plenty of spices to keep you interested. Fair amount of carbonation. This is an excellent example of a hefeweizen and very drinkable.

Pour is a golden with a decent head and a good amount of carbonation. Aroma of cloves, spice, and bananas. Taste is nice, more complex than most hefeweizens. Mouthfeel is light, with plenty of carbonation. Overall a nice German brew.

Sometimes Germans just know how to brew a great beer and this is one of them. Banana yeast nose, rigid foamy head, and soft golden body make this a well done, session-able, thirst quenching German Hefe-licious beer.

It may be the oldest, and possibly the best from Bavaria, but the bottle I got stateside may have been old. It seemed to lack the expected levels of banana and cloves that I am used to. I would like to re-rate this when I have one on tap in Germany.

This is one of my favorites. A truly classic representation of the style. Extremely well balanced, and food friendly. Wonderful acidity, loads of cereal grain flavors, with a bit of chalkiness, lemons, bananas and cloves. Consistent from bottle to bottle.

Pours honey yellow with a thick, creamy head. Citrus aroma; flavor has grape, citrus and nutmeg notes. Very effervescent. Overall a good Hefe.

16.9 oz bottle-A hazy yellow with a somewhat small head for a hefe and an aroma of cloves, banana, yeast and wheat. Taste of the same with some cloves. I feel this as being one of the lighter hefes but still very tasty.
