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.

Aroma is yeasty with esters of banana and coriander. Color is a hazy orange yellow with very good carbonation and a big thick head. Taste is light and fruity. Starting with medium body it goes down with a crisp feel. Finish comes on with a fruity yeast flavor and a mellow citrus taste then ends with a faint banana and coriander flavor and a gentle bitterness. After taste is clean with the citrus taste riding out the longest. This is one of the best Hefeweizens I nave ever had.

Bottle. This tastes remarkably good for an import. I can only imagine the flavour of a fresh draught pint. Pours a tall golden colour, cloudy, with a generous, aromatic head: smells of lemon, banana. Someone here wrote bubblegum aroma: I can understand that. The flavour is heavy on the banana, with a bit of pleasantly sour fruit. The bottled weissbier of choice.

Fantastic German Weissbier. Lovely Hoppy aroma, complemented by a scent of clove and friuty overtones! Great out of a bottle, great from draught! Best German Weissbier I have ever had.

7 oz draught sample. Cloudy yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma of bread and yeast. Taste of the same with some subtle hints of citrus. Slightly watered down finish.

From bottle. Wonderful sweet banana wheat aroma, with clove and mild citrus notes, yeast funkyness and light gaseousness. Great nose on this one - this exemplifies what I think of when I think German Hefeweizen smell. Cloudy medium amber body with foamy off-white creamy-foamy lacing head. Medium bodied, with medium carbonation that’s almost effervescent. Starts with terrific fresh sweet wheat malt, light banana, and some chalky bitterness. Light amount of citrus character and yeasty taste. Even a bit of clove and vanilla in there, too. Light and refreshing and one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

500 ml bottle. Hazy orange body with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity, yeast, ester and a bit spicy. Flavor is refreshing fruity, citrus, banana and yeast. Medium body as preferred with this type of beer, very nice and close to perfect.
