Commercial Description:
This is the lightest style of weizen beer. The grist contains a large portion of wheat, which lends a distinctive note to the malt body and aroma. This style has significant haze and cloudiness. Also, it has been brewed with a traditional Bavarian weizen yeast, which gives it a pronounced clove and spicy character, as well as banana and bubblegum, and even some slight vanilla notes. Available June through September.

On tap at the brewpub on 7/20/09: Pours a cloudy pale golden with a spotty-lacing white head. Has a sweet estery banana and clove spice nose. Starts with average fullness and good malted wheaty sweetness with a smooth and peppery clove finish. Could use a little more thickness.

Location: On tap at the Brew Pub, 9/5/09

Aroma: Lemony/citrus, banana, fairly typical hefe nose
Appearance: Hazy yellow pour, thin white head
Flavor: Malty and wheat flavor, spice (coriander)
Palate: Medium body, standard hefe mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I liked this beer enough, but I am a bit surprised by it’s high marks. I mean it is basically a standard hefe, but I didn’t really find much standout about it.

Nice golden rich coloured body. Mild malty scent with yeast and curacao coming out. Medium-bodied; Strong malty and wheat flavour with coriander seed and a tiny bit of spices noticeable. Aftertaste shows a bit of a body with some nuts too. Overall, a good hef - definitely one to sample at a festival! I sampled this six ounce sample from pseudo-draught at the Old Dominion 2005 Beer Festival on 24-June-2005 in Ashburn, Virginia.

Weizen (unfiltered)-on tap-pours a thin white head and cloudy yellow color. Aroma is ripe bananas, some wheat. Taste is ripe bananas, secondary lemon, clove/pepper, some wheat, tart. Good effervescence.

From draught sample at the brewpub. Has a very nice lemony-wheat aroma, with just a bit of banana and clove. Carbonic gaseousness. Very traditional aroma and reminds me of Paulaner. Hazy golden amber with thin off-white head. Medium watery body with medium carbonation and light wheat acidity. Starts with traditional Hefeweizen character. Great banana-wheat-lemon tastes, full bodied and balanced. Has a light acidic wheat and soft hoppy finish. This is a really nice German wheat beer and I really enjoyed it.

Growler.......from the brewpub. Soft taste of clove and banana. Hints of vanilla, that leave just a subtle aftertaste, which is a bad thing. Flavor could be pronounced

hazy orange/gold with a tight spongy white head and lots of spotty lacing. big time aroma of bananas with spices, sweet grain, lemon and yeasty dryness. the palate is a bit sweet but it is cleared up with a dry yeasty spicy finish. lots of fruit in the flavor mostly creamy bananas but there is some sour lemon zest thrown in as well. also, touches of yeast and vanilla cream. medium body but quite soft and airy. reminds me of a banana vanilla ice cream shake...

Cloudy golden color. Bannana hops aroma. Yeast and bannana flavor. Not my cup of tea. Probablya fine Hefeweizen, but I don’t really care for Hefeweizens.
