Deep and dark colored, cloudy with yeast. Brewed with a darker roasted malt which adds some maltiness to the refreshing flavour of the Hefe-Weissbier.

Cloudy brown colour, off-white head. Aroma has banana (and phenoles indeed) and some spices. Flavour has banana, spices and bread. Full mouthfeeling, very smooth.

In my opinion, if Germany didn’t have hefeweisens, beer would be overrated in that country. Thank God for hefeweisens. This one’s my favorite I’ve had thus far. You can keep the head down if you pour it right. It’s EXTREMELY smooth with a solid finish. It’s sweet and tasty! I spent 7 weeks in Germany a year ago and gained 15 pounds thanks to drinking 6 cases of this stuff. I love a meal in a bottle. This one is worth it!

Brown cloudy murk, nice head. Smell of banana and vanilla (phenols). Lots of carbonation. Nice taste, but a bit bland. Pretty good.

Bottle. Pours a brown colour with lots of fizz, and a large white head. Aroma is primarely wheat & fruit, whereas the flavor is more spicy and malty. Good.

Very nice. Aroma has that banana, bubble gum smell w/ some malt as well. It has a very pleasant brownish color, with a nice white head. It tastes similar to traditional Hefe, but with both a fuller body and a deeper maltier taste. It’s not quite the same, not as smooth not quite as refreshing as Franziskaner Helles. Good nonetheless.

Murky orangey brown, basic off-white head. Wheaty nose, ripe banana and little clove. Flavor has strong banana, wheat and spices. Wheat and a bit cellary finish. Medium bodied, strongly carbonated palate. Good honest dunkel.

while the aroma is a better than average, it’s a nice dark brown body, moderate at that and malty, very smooth and easy to drink, more of an enjoyment beer,

This is pretty nice for a dunkelweizen. Light brownish amber, it has a big fizzy, light tanhead that steadily shrinks to a thin top and it’s slightly hazy. The aroma is cloves, bananas, yeasty sourdough, and raisins. The taste is lightly tart, wheaty, with banana mostly on the edge of the mouth and in a perfumy quality. It’s dryish and lightly zesty with a light mineral quality and slightly watery feel. There is a long grain aftertaste, a light banana-bread quality, and it’s rather crisp and refreshing, but still not really my style.
