draft Erdinger,
however this is
difficult to get (in kegs)
in the US. When it is found,
it is nearly $150 per half barrel.
This berghoff beer, rivals
Erdinger in all cases, except
price (only $70/half barrel).
It is slightly cloudy in appearence,
mild in flavor, and has a pleasing finish.
The bottles are quite close to the draft
(draft also available from Berghoff’s
restaurant on Adam’s St. in Chicago). mikeben (344), Naperville, Illinois, USA

The flavor is crisp (i notice the water quality of Berghoff’s as unusualy fresh) the colors right and flavor pretty authentic. I don’t know if I can say it is the best hefeweizen I ever had but it is very highly recomended. k2 (146), USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Aug 17, 2001 A great weissbier. I don’t know about it when bottled, but on tap at Berghoff’s Chicago restaurant, this is archetypal Hefe-Weizen: nice clove nose, fruity, slightly sweet, well-balanced body, with a cloudy appearance, and full, robust head.

Large head, clove nose, smooth banana?/citrus taste, cloudy appearance. If you are in Chicago, stop at the Berghoff! GrainBeltGuzzler (249), Goodhue, Minnesota, USA

Banana yeasty aroma. yeasty wheat flavor. very similar to german hefes such as paulaner. kind of similar schells, true german flavor without the full body of its european counterparts gws57 (1138), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 1, 2006 Had this one bottled. Your typical wheat beer nose of bananas, cloves and orange, with a hint of cinnamon, flavor is nice and sour with some lemon and spice. This is a good wheat beer. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 6, 2003 This brew pours a medium head of fine to medium sized bubbles that fade rather quickly. It has a cloudy straw yellow body and a strong banana aroma. There is a stong banana citrous flavor in this brew that exagerates the typical Hefe_weizen flavor of most Hefe's. Stil it is a rather good wake up call to the senses.
