Commercial Description:
Delicious lemon and vanilla scented wheat beer with yeast. This is an aristocratic beer with a champagne sparkle and a beautifully sustained head. With the pale color of mountain honey and tart refreshing palate, it is a "brut" beer with the delicious, complex fruitiness of extra-dry champagne. Bottle conditioned and top fermented, it is a benchmark for this style of beer. The nose is fruity-spicy, herbaceous with lots of flowers, and fruit. With such a creamy head, you can build miniature mountains that resemble the Alps. Pour slowly, fill the special weissbier glass half full and swirl the bottle on the table to put the yeast in suspension.

Pours a beautiful hazy peach with huge frothy white head that lingers nicely. Aroma is loaded with grapefruit and lemon citrus, in addition to yeasty spice such as clove and banana. Flavor is an incredible balance of citrus sweetness and caramel malt. Very floral and sweet, finishing with lingering citrus. Palate is very rich for the style, starting creamy and finishing dry and clean. Amazing example of the style.

Pours a nice cloudy golden yellow, nice bright white head. Smells of wheat, citrus, and spices. Very good Weisse.

Bottle (Alko). Pours dark yellowish and very hazy, in my opinion almost too hazy. Head is quite thick but doesn’t leave much lacing. Quite rounded aroma is lightly, sweetly fruity, yeasty, tangy spicy, lightly hopped and naturally wheaty. Lightly fruity flavor is somewhat sour, yeasty and in the aftertaste dry and well-hopped. Abundant carbonation is refreshing.

Great aroma of fruit and honey. Excellent mouthfeel. Medium bodied and not too bready as far as hefeweizens go. Really a classic fruity-spicy hefe. Highly recommend. Enjoyed at Nick’s on Central Ave, Newark.

Pours cloudy golden color with beautiful white head. Nose is typical banana clove, with more clove than usual. Citrus & bread are present as well. The aromas come up like fresh bread straight from the oven. Palate is a somewhat light bodied, highly carbonated, with fresh bready banana clove, maybe some papermill or other industrial flavors as well (in a good way). Light, refreshing hefe. Excellent example of the style, but not the best imported Hefe-Weizen I’ve sampled.

Bottle 50cl. Pours a muddy pale brew with firm and stable white head. Nice carbonisation, refreshing. Great performance. Round and typical yeasty impression, typical for the style but more complex fruit and malt components than other Hefeweizen. Refreshing and complex at the same time, thats a masterpiece. A great brew from a great brewery.

Pours a hazy whiteish yellow with a nice frothy white head. Aroma is intense for a wheat. Bright banana and bubblegum jump out first with coriander, flowers, and clove. Tastes very fresh and crisp. This thing is like all the wheat beers I’ve tried all rolled into one beer. This is awesome! Bubblegum, banana, spices, citrus, and yeast. Mouth feel is light and refreshing. Excellent beer, best weise I’ve had to date.

50cl bottle. Opaque yellow with a frothy white head. Wheat, cream, banana and clove in the aroma. The flavor is lightly tangy and sweet with a crisp and lightly spicy finish. Light bodied with lots of carbonation. As expected, this pretty much nails the style, with a good amount of subtlety and restraint in the yeast department, adding to the refreshment factor. You can tell that this would be much better still on its home turf.
