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.

The apppearance is a bit on the scary side. This beer looks like a glass of tangerine juice with a heavy shot of cream. You couldn't see through this beer with the Hubble's telescope. However, the aroma is of wheat fields in heaven. Very fruity, spicy and hearty... yet, still a bit light on it's feet as a Summer beer should be. Tons...TONS of yeast in this beer (skip the protein shake and multivitamin, Superman). A very good Summer beer.

Pours hazy orangw with a medium head. Aroma is of citrus, gentle bubblegum, and wheat. Flavor is a solid hefe yeastiness (wheat, bubblgum, slight spice and banana). Medium body. Nothing different or special just a very solid hefe.

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.
