kidmartinek (733), austin, Texas, USA Dec 21, 2007 Updated: Mar 15, 2008 Pour yourself a great hefeweisebier full of foam, Then when it settles down, savor the light, wheat aroma. Ayinger is a beautiful cloudy straw color. It tastes light, and refreshing like light wheat, with a hint of lemon, yet it is full flavored. A very good brew, one of my favorites.
blipp (818), Grand Island, New York, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy gold with a white head. Fruity sweet aroma of over ripe bananas and clove. The flavor is sweet banana, clove, and nutmeg. Very good. theisti (1092), Leawood, Kansas, USA Sep 30, 2008 500 ml bottle purchased at Beertopia in Omaha, Nebraska. Pour is slightly hazed yellow golden with a ton of carbonation bubbles. As the remainder of the bottle is poured, the beer is decidedly cloudier. There is a billowing 3 to 4 inch white head that crackles and pops as it falls, leaving behind a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is ripe sweet bananas, fresh cut hay and grainy wheat. Nice, soft, fresh nose. Also some nice floral aroma. Taste is the wheat, fresh and full, along with the banana and some clove taste that was not present initially in the nose. It all melds together quite nicely, and really typifies a solid German Hefe. Also some citrus present, which comes across with a really delicate sweetness that complements and accents the fresh grain and wheat. Palate is medium, fair amount of carbonation and a brief, clean finish. This was a nice one. hillfiiiiire (211), Atoka, Tennessee, USA Sep 29, 2008 Hazy yellow body with a finger sized white head. Bananas and hate in the aroma. Flavor is annoyingly flat, but what there is is sweet like a banana chip with hints of wheat and yeast. It definitely doesn’t feel as carbonated as the standard hefeweizen, which troubles me mildly. Overall, an okay beer though. rustychiles (480), Mesa, Arizona, USA Sep 25, 2008 Pours a light cloudy yellow with a active white head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Flavor is yeast, wheat, and a touch of banana. The carbonation is very active and tingly on the tongue. Good refreshing hefe. heynik1885 (29), tonawanda, New York, USA Sep 22, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow, with a big white foamy head. A strong citrus smell with a hint of wheat. Fruityness of beer gives almost a wine type taste. Full bodied beer, Some sweetness and yeast in the taste, excellent hefeweizen
