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.

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.

On tap and Weizen glass served at GB-Bollingbrook, IL. A straw/light gold color with a modest white, foamy head that gradually reduced to a film and small ring, and left some spots and streaks of lacing. The aroma was bread and ripe banana with spice as clove, and a hint of meaty yeast. Less the fleeting yeast note, the flavor was similar with some soft carbonation and light body. A decent Hefe.

On tap at the Virginia Beach location. Cloudy yellowish-orange color with a 3/4 inch white head. Aroma of ripe bananas and bubblegum. Tasty bubblegum flavor with light lemon and orange citrus. A good hefeweizen and probably the best beer I have had from Gordon Biersch.

On draft at the Miami location. Hazy dull straw pour with minimal off white head. Nose is pleasant banana, clove, and a mild mellow spiciness. Flavor has a metallic twinge, sweet grain, with a lightly bitter finish. Moderate carbonation with a lemon peel aftertaste. Great nose, just an average brew though.

On tap at Gordon Biersch in Las Vegas. Pours a hazy yellow, thin white head. Nice big banana and clove notes, nice light spice. Medium bodied, a touch sweet, more big banana and clove. Finishes with a bit more wheat flavors.
