Commercial Description:
Once reserved for Bavarian royalty for its light sparkling quality, Hefeweizen is considerably more democratic today. In fact, at Gordon Biersch we've brewed a special batch of our Hefeweizen to serve our guests throughout July and August! Hundreds of years ago in Germany, wheat beers were considered "breakfast" or "after church" beers, a testament to their light refreshing flavor and a tradition of drinking them on weekend afternoon. We invite you to enjoy our Hefeweizen any day of the week this summer along with our special summer menu.

Very cloudy ambar colour, almost no head and very little lacing. Yeasty bread aroma with sweet fruit noticeable. Very noticeable bubblegum and fruit flavour, yeasty bread and noticeable carbonation. Very good beer, better than the Marzen

Impressive hefe! Aroma of banana, clove and a bit of alcohol. Creamy head soaks into the toungue and lightens the mood immediatley. Classic cloudy yellowish amber. Very refreshing, one of the better hefes on tap out there.

Im not your traditional Hefe lover but this one is good. Little spice, smell and taste of bananna. Good overall not filtered brew.

Actually had on-tap at the GB brewpub in Seattle. A: Poured with a large, white head that hung around for awhile, before dissipating down to a mere 1/4 finger. Nice lacing on the glass. Body is a dark golden color, and quite cloudy. S: I was a little disappointed with the aroma after how great the beer looked, as the smells of wheat and lemon were actually quite weak. Not bad, just difficult to find. T: Smooth and light, with wheat, lemon/lime and some coriander present. A very decent-tasting hefe. M: Medium-bodied and very creamy, with average carbonation. D: Really, better than I was expecting. Instead of a churned-out-quickly hefeweizen, it looked great, tasted fine, and was very smooth and creamy on the palate. Definitely something I’d order again.

Pours a hazy yellow color with a medium to large sized pillowy white head. Flavor and nose is dominated by bazooka joe bubble gum, a little bit of clove, and hints of grain. Between the bubble gum and the overly sweet taste, I am not a fan. Moderate mouthfeel and medium length finish.
