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.

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.

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.
