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. Pours a cloudy golden yellow, a large, rocky white head sits atop. Banana, citrus, spices and wheat aromas. Sweet, fruity, yeasty flavours with a citrus tang and an ample herbal hoppy finish. Medium carbonation, light in body. Lovely, crisp and refreshing with nice balance.

Poured cloudy golden, with about half a centimetre of foamy white head, that dissipated to a ring around the glass. Lovely aroma of mostly smooth vanilla, with some wheat and a tinge of clove, not overbearing or sickly like some lesser hefe’s are. Flavour is mostly vanilla and a good helping of banana, with a wonderful smooth mouth feel. A very smooth swallow, with a sweet aftertaste that turns dry. I thought Schofferhofer was great, but I think this tops it. Not a big hefeweizen drinker, but if I feel like one this will be the number one choicefor me. Superb.

Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with a nice controlled white head. Aroma is yeast wheat, and lemon. Heavy wheat bittterness followed by a nice underpinning of malt, citrus fruits, sourdough yeast and a touch of spice. Nice light mouthfeel, perfect for a warm summer day. Outstanding hefeweizen, try it.
