500 ml. bottle. Huge, white head. Liquid is hazy and butter-like yellow. Yeast, bana ester and sweet wheat malts in aroma. Flavor is yeasty sour in the finish. Body is light to medium. A bit watery mouth feeling. Sparkling and quite refreshing. Not my favourite hefe-weiss, but still tasty and easy to drink.

Pours a bright orange yellow cloudy color with a huge amount of froathy white head. Looks absolutely delicious! Aroma is doughy banana and a tad bit of lemon - pretty typical of hefes. Flavor very crisp and refreshing but without being watery and thin. Nice banana and subtle citric taste with a bit of the doughy yeastiness. Overall, excellent hefe.

On tap. Very nice tawny golden color in the glass, with a standard huge hefe head. The aroma is mostly of citrus, with classic hefe spice in there too. The flavor is excellent - a bit more citrus than the standard hefeweizen, otherwise a pretty straightforward (but excellent) example of the style. Palate is a little thinner than would be ideal, but is still quite smooth. Very nice beer.

Bottle. Smelled wonderful. Nice yeasty, bread smells. No hint of skunk at all. Nice clean citris taste with little tinge of pepper and bananas on the back side. A very complex hefe, realitve to what i’ve been drinking. I really like this hefe. Im glad I bought a sixer. Topnotch!

Pours a beautiful orangy hue with a bit of haziness. Nose is very nice with whisps of clove/ripe banana. Mouthfeel is light and clean. Taste is very nice with a spicy/malt alongside of the crispness of the wheat. The finish is perfect and leaves you totally wanting another, which I believe I’ll have!

Bottle from Trader Joe’s in Fairfield, CA. Pours a hazy yellow with a large white head. Smells of bananas. Taste of bananas, other citurs flavor and a little bit of spice. I have to admit I was very surprised at the quality of this beer. Definately one I will have to drink again.
