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.

Bottle. Golden yellow in color. Good head. Aroma of banana and yeast. Taste is a super smooth and a light taste of bananas, lemon and yeast. Very refreshing. Light texture and low carbonation. I could drink this all day, every day. Good beer. I am in love with german beers

(7/3/08) Draught at Ayingers Speis und Trank in Munich. Pale cloudy yellow with a big and quite stable white head. Aroma is wheaty with decent fruity esters. Sweetish fruity flavor with some banana and light spiciness. Medium-bodied. Maybe slightly too clean for a Weizen but still good.

Major bubble gum and clove in the aroma. Huge frothy white head that is fully lasting. Cloudy murky medium yellow body. Lightly sweet initial flavor that finishes very smooth. Light body with a lively carbonation.

fresh lemon, young banana and dry wheat blend for a lucious complex aroma. 4 finger head of medium bubbles took a long time to subside and left nearly no lacing though the array of golden hues in the glass made up for that. sweet with a wildflower/herbal foundation that finishes a hint tart and dry. the best hef i’ve ever had.

Cloudy yellow with a tall thick head. Lemon yeasty nose. Medium carbonation. Smooth finish left me wanting more. Good quality example of a real hefeweizen.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a medium head. Aroma of wheat, citrus. Palate is crisp, with pearly carbonation. Flavor is Smooth blend of wheat, grain, and some sweetness. Very nice. Just solid ingredients that are well brewed. Another quality offering from Ayinger.

Great tasting beer I tried after a mate from England suggested it. Flowery and fruity at the same time, I highly recommend this beer to anyone who likes this type of beer. Well done Ayinger!

Pours ultra-frothy and fizzy head that lasted forever. Nice hazy golden-yellow color, the archetype for the hefeweizen. Citrusy and flowery aroma with elements of yeast, wheat, spices (clove, nutmeg), and banana. The perfect balance of typical hefeweizen flavours. Yet another superb brew from Ayinger.
