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.

Pours a beautiful cloudy orange. The smell promises spiciness, which the taste delivers on: cloves, bananas, maybe allspice? Delicious and refreshing on a hot Alabama night!

Pours a lively amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma and flavour is fruity with a strong banana hint. It has a full, smooth body with a satisfying finish. A wonderfully refreshing beer. Recommended.

Hazy orange with a big dense white head. Aroma is yeasty banana, the usual suspects but in a mild wheaty and thick way. Flavour is dense wheaty, slightly fruit with notes of banana, light fresh spices and lemon. Body is rather full with a smooth and refreshing mouthfeel. Great food and summer beer.

Wonderfully refreshing, especially on a hot day. Aroma is sweet with a hint of banana. Taste is light with a blend of banana and clove. It’s lightly sweet with yummy, malty goodness. Highly recommend if you want a beer with a lot of flavor . but not a lot of heaviness on a hot day.

One of the best hefeweissbiers. Aroma is malty and yeasty at first , but later u can feel fruits (orange, apple, banana) and some spicies. Taste is the same with fruits and yeast at the same time to be at first. Nice finale sweet, yeasty and fruity with some sourness at the very very end.

Aroma is floral with citrus and something that my nose reacts to as chemical. Citrus and mild hop dominate the nose while banana constitutes the body. finishes light, sweet and fruity. This is the quintessential Hefeweizen and a true classic!

Another good weissbier from the swap. Poured from bottle to pint glass. Large head and excellent lacing. Cloudy body and a medium yellow / orange color. Average maltiness with hay flavors. Light hops with citrus notes. Kind of a soap yeasty finish. Light to medium body and an oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Pours a hazy blonde color with a decent white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum and wheat. Flavor starts off sweet and thick and also has a sweet finish. Very well balanced.
