Darkish yellow and very cloudy. Mellow with cloves and banana flavours. Very well balanced.

One of the world’s best, with rich banana notes and generous quantities of sweet malt.

Unfiltered yellow, nice head. Banana malty aroma. Mild and sweet, this is an easy drinking summer beer, just as the Germans who created this style intended.

Objectively speaking: A presumably constantly fresh and complete weizen. A sure bet in Toronto.
I like: Pleasant and polite equilibrium between esters and phenols, aptly leaning more towards banana esters. Crisp wheaty body with excellent extraction. Creamy, pie crust reminiscent richness. Very clean instead of playing on yeasty complexity. Extremely drinkable, sweeter than average and good-looking. Sweet, but certainly tart enough to compensate.
I dislike: Not as aromatic as I’d expected. I spent a few weeks in Austria and such very good hefes are just very common over there. I imagine that there are dozens of exa,ples which are just as good.

Bottle... RBSG2003... Murky, deep golden brew. White, creamy, lasting head. The aroma holds banana and clove. Imagine that! Ok, ok, bubblegum too. The flavor is spicey and refreshing. Tart and tangy. Well-balanced. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, dry finish. As a rule, I’m not BIG on wheat beers, but I really like this one!

Can courtesy of matt7215. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of bananas, vegetal, coriander, sweet wheat. Tastes of citrus, spicy, some lemons, bananas. Decent.

Prominent yeasty mints and banana bubblegums effortlessly nourish this thirsty soul...Assertive dryness in the end slips in a few little lemons for an even more satisfying quenching experience...A marvelous example of spontaneity and easy-to-drink complexity...

A bit over-rated in my opinion. Cloudy yellow/orange appearance with a nice white lace. Citrus, banana aroma with a definite wheaty character. Flavour shows loads of lemon, banana, low clove. Nice body for the style with a long fruity finish. 7 3 7 4 15 Rerate. Tap at Volo May 2007. Very cloudy yellow-brown beer with a thick creamy white head. Bright fruity aroma, clove, coriander, and bright lemony citrus. Flavour is all freshly baked bread mixed with sweet banana. Clove accented with a light earthy/noble hop flavour on the back. Crisp acidity plays off the rich bready malts and wheaty spice. The yeast is very fruity with a good balance of clove and spice. Very tasty.
