Pale golden color with a creamy white head that left nice lacing. Spicy clove/wheat aroma. Nice crisp, refreshing taste of sweet bananas with a real quick, almost bitter aftertaste. This is a good one.

Huge head on top of a cloudy dark straw body. Aromas of yeast, esters and slightly sweet wheat penetrate the air. Flavor is is close to the same with a higher wheat presence.

I sampled the 0.5L bottled variety, which pours cloudy but brilliantly deep yellow and with just a hint of orange color. In the appropriate glass, it also offers a large, bright white, effervescent head that left a trace of lacing. I give this medium-bodied beer extra points for the ritualistic pouring instructions that extract all the important constituent parts of this brew, including the pleasantly yeasty, spicy hops and citrus-like aroma. The carbonation level is just right--crisp and refreshing as are the mid-palate flavors of grapefruit, lemon, clove and cardamom. The finish is strong and, again, pleasingly refreshing. I’m rating this beer as a personal favorite.

Mmm, mmm, good. That’s what the happy little monk says on the front of this bottle. It’s a full, complex brew, wheaty and malty. However, it has a soapy twinge, but not in a bad way. A good brew.

One sip and I’m sitting with my buddies in a biergarten overlooking dowtown Munchen on a smoldering summer evening. Yeah it’s that good, at least if you have ever pondered copulation with a good weizenbier....

Bottled from Asda. Thick cloudy custard bosy, swarms of esters, decent bready feel onthe palate, very enjoyable.

On Tap. Typical cloudy pour and normally spicy wheat aroma, nothing great here. But the flavor, by god, the flavor knocked my off of my feet. Lemon and outstanding wheat malt, nice spice background....damn...hands down the best hefe I’ve ever had EVER.
