Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: German Hefeweizen
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

I like this Weissbier because it has a uniqueness to it's yeast flavor. Pours nice, nice head and color. Nice malty wheaty mouthfeel. Good overall balance. Also pairs nicely with smoked ham and potato salad. (just thought I'd through that in)

Big, rocky, white head. Cloudy gold appearance. Clovelike aroma. The taste has hints of banana and a tangy clove. When tasted side by side with four other wheat beeers, this was the best. No lemon needed.

A very good hefeweizen. It has everything to be a great summer beer. Light and crisp make it easy to drink. The wheat and citrus fill this beer with flavor.

looks like this could be my favorite hefeweizen. cloudy gold color, largely citrus aroma but some hints of yeast and banana. very tangy on the tongue, with a sweet banana finish. very refreshing.

2008-07-01. Bottle from LCB0. Hazy golden yellow body with a good sized white head. Yeasty lightly estery aroma, muted touch of alcohol is quite pleasant. (7+) Flavour is moderate, but complex. Sweet underlying pale malt, yeasty weiss esters, touches of banana and spice. Smooth medium bodied palate suits it wonderfully. Just really nice. 7/5/8/4/16 - 4.0 <;P>;November 2004. Bottle. Hazy golden body, nice big fluffy white head. Touch of spicey clove in the aroma, small notes of banana esters. Pleasantly effervescent palate is rather nice. Flavour has some clove, though it is slightly muted from the aroma, and a pleasant wheaty tartness throughout. Thanks M&J for bringing this back from NYC. I have now had the top 3 rated wheat bers as of right now, yay me! 7/4/7/4/17 - 3.9

It pours a deap cloudy amber color and has a decent sized head that shrinks rather quickly. You can taste and smell the wheat along with citrus and banana tones.

(Bottled) Murky, dark golden-orange color. Pours a large and quite lasting, cloudy and lacy head. Yeasty and sweet banana-strawberry aroma - smells strongly like sahti when pouring, but fades quickly. Sweetish banana flavor with perfectly balanced, crisp acidity and a sourish finish. No bitterness at all. Very smooth and slicky-yeasty, medium to full-bodied, quite carbonated palate. Very refreshing and enjoyable, and one of the world’s very best hefeweizens!

Tap. This beer with a cloudy mocha golden body, topped by a big thick white head, released all the expected hefe aromas quite nicely - banana, yeast, cloves all balanced nicely. Then a creamy mouthful refreshed the mouth and was a great accompaniment to a late night bite to eat. Slightly tangy citrus flavour lingered. Nice.
