Bottle at The Headkeeper (Greensburg). Pours a hazy yellow, fluffy white head. Aroma is wheat, malt and yeast. Flavor is more of the same. Nice beer to have with a good tapas meal.

Poured from a 500ml foil-topped bottle and served in a weizen glass. This hefe poured a hazy, darker golden hue with a thick head of fluffy off-white foam. Excellent retention throughout the glass. Some slippery lacing was left behind. The aroma of the beer consisted of fresh bananas, wheat, light citrus, and a light clove spiciness. The fruitiness took a back seat in the flavor. A healthy dose of spicy yeast and clove was followed up by mild notes of banana, creamy wheat, and a touch of orange and lemon zest. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and softly carbonated. Very smooth and highly drinkable. A nice example of the style.

Definitely one of the better Hefe-Weizen beers. Nice aroma and taste of wheat and fruit. I would rank it towards the top but definitely would prefer a Weinstephaner.

Poured a golden color, settling to a light gold hue. Good head retention,lacing, lemony. Pear, banana, apple and yeast tasted on my palate. Buttery finish smooth as glass. Truly a world class brew that I will drink again.............and again...............and again.

Orange yellow color with a thin head. Sweet orange flavor throughout and bits of spice to go with the wheat. Not too much to complain about.
