Commercial Description:
An real Bavarian HefeWeizen. Made with over 50% red wheat and fermented twice using two dictinctive Bavarian Weizenbier yeasts. This is an unfiltered, lightly hopped thirst quenching summer treat with big mouthfeel, plenty of estery aromas like banana and clove and a refreshing tartness in the finish.

Tap at 5 Seasons Brewing Company. Small white head with good retention, slightly hazy body, no visible carbonation, one ring of lacing, and a golden hue with some orange tint. The aroma was sweet, wheat, yeasty, clove, bananas, some tart notes, and estery. The flavor mimicked the aroma and tasted very refreshing. A smooth mouthfeel and light-medium bodied. This is a very nicely brewed beer, easy to drink and easy on the palate. Worthy of a try and if I revisit this location, I will definitely drink this if it is available.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were long lasting and left behind a slightly hazy yellow-orange colored body. The aroma was malty and banana. The very ploesant crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and semi thiick at the finish with a mellow hoppy aftertaste. The mild flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and banana. A decent one that I would consider buying again.

I would have to say this is my favorite out of the everyday house beers, and generally what I drink when I am in town, not including the specialties and seasonals. Above average take on the style for a domestic craft offering and is reminiscent to me of Schneider. Initially clove and banana notes, and I make that comparison because I think the red wheat does a lot for this beer. Lots of cereal maltiness, with makes me say this would be a great breakfast beer.

A nice translucent honey-golden color with a fairly thick head. Aroma is fairly strong, malty and wheaty. Flavor is typical of a hefeweizen but stronger than most I have tried - pleasantly malty/wheaty, with fruity hints and a suggestion of spice. Finish is smooth and livey. This is a refreshing and summery beer that is very pleasant to sip and enjoy.

This is dedicated to KieferUGA and kleyland for their strong love and appreciation of a good hefeweizen. This had a really good aroma with lots of banana/bubblegum and spice; color was about right. Flavor was much more of the same; very drinkable and one of my favorites for the style

Big hefeweizen nose with banana and clove, hazy orange color, sticky head. Sweet soft wheat malt, ester, malt a-go-go. Spicy end. Big full mouth. Wow-surprisingly good hefeweizen--it’s all there.
