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 amber with a thin white head. Smells of citrus and tarte. Tastes tarte and grassy with some spicy hints on the finish.

A very good example of a hefeweizen. Beautiful cloudy amber body with a thick white head. Malty, spicy aroma with notes of banana and bread. Very nice flavor to match the aroma. Banana, bubblegum, pineapple, and spice. A delicious beer.

Pours a cloudy amber orange with a one finger frothy offwhite head. Aroma is very interesting. Banana bread upfront, sweet crushed almond, sour wheat, dessertish quality. Flavor is bland, spritzy mouthfeel, notes of orange zest, mild spice, and weak banana.

2008 Southern Brewers Fest . Pours slight haze, golden. Thin white head. Aroma of bread and bananas. Plain, puffed wheat flavor. Not much bread. Serves the purpose to style. Medium body. 23 Aug 08

(12oz bottle) pours a beautiful cloudy orange/honey color with great 2 finger head. Nose has traditional banana, clove, and spices in spades. Taste is lacking a bit of sweetness and slightly bitter too but overall it is good. Coriander and spices abound. Palette linger and carbonation are perfect for the style. I think this beer is underrated just slightly.

On tap at the Las Vegas brewpub. Cloudy gold. Smallish white head. Clove and banana aroma with some bubble gum was very nice. Interest lacing. Feel was so smooth. Flavors of bananas, clove, floral notes, bubblegum. This was light and easy to drink. My favorite of their offerings.
