Pours a cloudy golden brown - looks just like fresh apple cider. Has a very sweet aroma of clove and coriander. Slightly tart, bready taste with a strong coriander note. Very little aftertaste. Pretty damn good for a $3 pint at a Mobil station!

Poured from bottle a hazy glowing pale blond with a large tight white head that slowly disappeared. Aroma is mildly soapy with banana, clove, and doughy yeast. High carbonation creates a spicy tingle on the tongue and throat with the flavors coming in with light banana, clove, caramel, honey, very light touch of tart yeast, and some dough. The palate is refreshingly light with a nice carbonation zip with some sweet and not much bitter. Easy to drink, especially on a hot day. I’ll be having more.

500ml bottle. finally rating this one. pours hazy dull orange with creamy white head. banana and cloves with touches of caramel and bread in the nose. flavor is bready, banana, cloves, and yeast. the malt notes comes off slightly oxidized. sort of a thin mouth feel for a hefe. a classic example of the style.

Tremendous hefe. Loads of banana spices while retaining a good balance and a citrusy aroma.

On tap - hazy golden pour with a thick white head...a typical hefe pour! Aroma is very bready and yeasty with citrusy accents. Flavor is full and yeasty...lots of banana, clove and orange accents. Oily on the palate and very refreshing...another underrated hefe on ratebeer.com!

(Bottle at Jacoby’s German Biergarten in downtown Detroit). Bubbly gold with average wheat beer head. Classic light fruity aroma and taste, lively on the palate. Crisp and refreshing.

Bottle from Safeway in the United States. One of the classics. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head. Bready and citrus orange. Bready, yeasty flavor with notes of lemon, apricot, clove, and coriander. Richer than most hefeweizens here in the United States.

(Draught at MacKinlay’s, Stockholm) Orange, cloudy colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with citric hints of wheat, bread, peaches and banana. Fruity, malty taste with notes of banana, plums and sweetish hints of cereal. Nice, consistent and refreshing summer beer, but doesn’t really rock my world.
