| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 10, 2006 Tap. Bubblegum and peach aroma. Cloudy amber color with moderate head. Sweet bubblegum and peach flavor - didn’t really get that much malt flavor. An okay Weizen but a bit too sweet and not enough malt for me. Bartzilla (443), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2006 This should be their signature beer. Better than the Marzen and a fine example of how a good hefe should look and taste. People want to rate this low because it’s not exotic enough, but I’ll be honest with you and say that this stuff is mighty tasty. Has the wonderful banana and clove scent, murky and goes down like a champ. If you put a lemon in my beer, I’ll smack you, so don’t even think about it. I’ve drank lots of this and was still able to drive home without getting any yard in my front grille. See, here’s the deal... just because the place is expensive and all over the place, doesn’t mean you have to rate the beer low. This is good stuff. Maybe some of you people with the notepads can swallow a little pride and admit that. Just kidding. I don’t care what you think. Headbanger (1588), Aurora, Illinois, USA

Had all the sights and smells of a good German hefe. Nice cloudy appearance and plenty of banana and clove in the aroma. Fruity, with a bit of spice in the taste. Very good hefe. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy

Excellent golden color and lovely head, nice pour from the local bartender. Alcohol level well suited to style. A great thirst quencher as I was riding the bike that afternoon. Bonus points for the authentic glass made in the old country -- the artwork, however, was very American
