Cloudy gold in appearance with a very thick white head. pillowy in fact. Great lacing. Lemony and banana ester aroma is verynice. Has a mild tartness and sweet banana fruity flavor. The bartender said that this was an ale ?!

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 HopheadHans (755), Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2006 Tap. This is a Hefeweizen in the European style. Quite yeasty and full bodied. I really enjoyed this one. It pours a pale yellow with a nice head. Aromas of flower and bread and yeast. Flavors of wheat obviously and fruit. nick76 (2684), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 5, 2006 The aroma has banana and bubblegum. The appearance is what a hefe typically is.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2006 Bright hazy gold, thick fluffy white head. Nose was pretty authentic with soft notes of bubblegum, clove, and banana, with light yeasty bready tones upon further warming. Nice flavor profile throughout with soft clove, citrus touches of banana, and a nutty wheaty earthiness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, crisp, wheat-like finish. A tasty, easy drinking hefe...

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 25, 2006 Updated: Jan 26, 2006Tap at the DC restaurant. I was expecting the worst (due to experience with other US ’hefeweizen’). But I thought this was very similar to, but slightly better than Erdinger. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2006 Draft at the brewpub in Columbus Ohio - Pours cloudy golden with a puffy white head that stays pretty well and laces some down the glass. Aroma was bubblegum, cloves, bannanas. Flavor is much of the same. No overpowering clove flavor. Just a nice blend of all good things that should be there in a hefe. Palate is light and airy and refreshing. Odd that this was the seasonal in January there but it was the best beer they had on tap for sure...
