Aug 7, 2006 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 flavors: wheat, yeast, citrusy, spicy, bubblegum/banana somewhere in there... just awesome. As close to a perfect example of the style as one can reasonably get.

Aug 2, 2006 Bottle. Lemon flavor- retains a solid acidic lemon flavor from start to finish, neither bitter nor sweet. Good light yellow color with white frothy head. Fairly dry on the palate with good cabonation. A good solid hefe. Very drinkable and straight forward.

Jul 29, 2006 Bottle 50F Weizen. Yeast notes, with very citric undertones very similar to lemon zest, a bit of clove and pepper. Light golden color almost a cloudy yellow, with a medium white head that remains nicely. Sweet and sour tastes, good citrus notes, great bread like yeast characters. Great light and sweet notes very delicious, umm one of the better wheats I have tasted. Medium Palate with high carbonation, nice bannana taste. Good feel on the tongue finishes nicely dry. A+ A very good example of the german wheat, subtle and complex with great light notes that make for easy drinking. Achtung ganz gut bier!

Pours a hazy yellow with a voluminous white head. The aroma is cloves, vanilla, bazooka bubblegum, a hint of lemon, plenty of yeast. The flavor is more or less as expected from the aroma, only more so - a very Hefe Hefeweizen here, relatively sweet, yeasty, plenty of wheat in the flavor as well. The mouthfeel is smooth and enjoyable.

This may not be my favorite style, but it’s certainly a very well executed example thereof.

Jul 28, 2006 Very typical-looking hefeweizen: cloudy yellow body with a very lush, creamy white head. Full, wheaty nose, with some citrus/lemon peels. Herbal/grassy flavor. Slightly sweet finish, yet slightly tart and sour.

Jul 28, 2006 Hazy golden with an impressively sustained head - aroma of lemon, yeast, banana and a mild spiciness - soft on the palate - refreshing, with mild sweet malts, some banana and clove - some belgian-like floral qualities and a touch of honey - great summer brew.

Jul 25, 2006 500 ml bottle. Should have read the description before I poured: kicks up a BIG head in my small weizen glass. Foam becomes rocky as it settles atop a very cloudy yellow body, almost in wit territory. Smell carries notes of clove and citrus, while the usual banana smell is in the background. Tasting instantly brings up lemon zest, some more banana, and sweet Bavarian malts. Yeasty, but in a good way. Can’t find those flowery impressions they speak of, but that would be the first thing to be lost on a long import trip. I can see calling it "dry," but not by much. Certainly does NOT need a lemon slice in it, it’s fine by itself.
