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.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a weizen glass, cloudy golden with a big white head. Aroma was of yeast, cloves and banana. The taste was subtle with hints of cloves, citrus and banana and a bready nose. This is a well done wheat beer along the lines of Weihenstephaner. I still prefer the heavier clove taste of Paulaner, but if that is not your thing this is a very fine beer.

bottle- sampled today in beers of the world class. pours very light golden color, white head, sudsy-foamy and it is slightly cloudy, aroma is strong wheat smell, apples, corriander and some yeast in the background. tastes all that is promised in nose flat mouth feel, dry finish.

Very good Hefeweizen! It had great flavors that really complimented my brisket, easy drinking and smooth. I would get this again anytime.

Nice rich yeasty banana flavors, with hints of baking spices. Yet another superb brew from Ayinger.

This beer is everything a Hefeweizen should be. Pours a hazy pale gold. Aroma is incredibly fruity, spicy, pleasing. Flavor is similar, balanced with lots of fruit, citrus, wheat and spice. Very smooth, easy drinking. My favorite in the style.
