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.

650 mL bottle. Beautiful hazy gold with a nice foamy head. Hoppy citrus, banana, and a sharp fruitiness in the aroma. Taste of sweet banana and wheat with a slight tanginess. Perhaps a bit thin at the start. Very smooth finish, with a touch of hops and a pleasant return of the original flavours. Glory!

On draft. Hazy yellow pour with good bright white head. Nose of banana and clove. Flavor is much the same. A fantastic hefe. One of the best germans for sure

It smells like a wheat field and is a pure wheat straw color, just slightly cloudy. It has a pure delicious wheat beer flavor in the tradition of the German purity laws. There is a smooth, lingering, pleasant aftertaste as well.

500 mL Bottle. Murky straw body with a thin white foamy head. Aroma of plum sauce and bananas with faint notes of cloves, pears, melon, and wildflowers. Full flavor of malt / wheat with notes of tangerine peel, cloves, bananas, and an innuendo of pineapple with a finish that is like cantaloupe. Hey Hefe lovers, check this one out. Actually, I enjoyed it with my chicken dinner.
