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.

Draft. Grapefruit brown color. Light, soapy head. Lemony and spicy, chili powder, coriander. Flat flavoring. Thin body but pleasing. Doughy in residual. OK

Poured from tap a hazy darker golden color with thin white head. Nose is nice with a clove spiciness, sweet malt and a little banana. Flavor is good coming in with a little sweet honey, caramel, clove and banana. Palate is full and malty with some carbonation but not enough imho for a hefeweizen. Overall, I thought the flavor was very good just lacking in carbonation to make it truly great.

I found the Aroma, and palate both weak for a Hefe. The taste does not last long either and goes flat in the glass quickly. Over all not a bad beer but not great.

Dark straw in appearance, opaque. Darker near the top. Yeasty aroma, with a hint of caramel. The flavor, small bit of yeast on the surface, strong wheat tones dominating the malts, and a touch of apple and citrus. A very good hef, with a good balance of sweetness, bitterness, and leafy grain.

Good if unspectacular hefe at KC. Location. Nice aroma of banana, clove, a litlle lemon and a hint of bubblegum. Not too sweet- a lttle grainey with more banana, coriander and apple.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a big foamy head that fades away slowly. Pretty standard hefe aroma, banana, clove, lemon peel, and yeast. Nice smooth wheat flavor, including all elements of the aroma. Sparkly and refreshing on the palate. A nice warm weather treat.
