An excellent Hefe. (Mine was the tap version). I have now had it in bottles and cans. Still great!

I don’t have all the adjectives to explain it, but its really great. I think the banana flavor comes through, but there’s just something about this brew that makes it consistently excellent everytime I try it. When I am confused about what I should buy, I always seem to be able to fall back on this. Its not always cheap though. Its often around 7.99 USD per six pack, which isn’t horrible, but not exactly a bargain price either. Once I had to have an opportunity to get it on draft, and it was incredible. It was a wedding reception with a free bar, so I kept coming back for more and more and more till I was hammered, and it kept tasting great, but the point is, this is what I kept coming back for, and didn’t want anything else once I had figured out that this was the ultimate, that is, when it was draft.

Magnificent head, sweet and spicy (allspice?) with a citrusy finish. You don't need a lemon wedge. I have a weakness for this style, and this one rocks!

Hazy, straw-yellow color, enormous, pillowy white head: so far, the perfect look for a hefe weizen. Aroma: fresh, flowery, dry, loaded with lemon. Light and smooth, with a good, grainy texture. Marvelous fruity flavor, with the requisite Bavarian banana/clove character really showing itself more in the middle, and rides on out through the end. Wonderfully refreshing, thirst-quenching, damned-easy quaffability. Belongs among the top tier of weizens: ah, delicious!

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!

Pours a Beautiful Hazy Golden Orange with a huge fluffy white head. Aromas of bannanas and some citrus fruits. Great smooth palate. Great Beer

16.9oz bottle served in a Weizen. Pours a beautiful golden color, bubbles throughout. Huge, cloud like white head. Very nice. Aroma of yeast, bread, clove, banana. Smells fantastic. Fore of the tongue is sweet, slightly astringent. Thin to medium mouthfeel. Finishes with a nice yeasty note, with banana dominating. Also get some malt and clove in the finish. I thought the Paulaner was too sweet in the finish. This is just right. Very nice beer.
