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.

On tap at GB in Palo Alto. Surprisingly solid hefe from G.B., which doesn’t always stand for "good beer." Standard yellow appearance with a white head. Banana and clove on the aroma and flavor, fairly phenolic with a considerable yeast presence. Lemon flavor as well, or maybe that was just from the lemon they put in the beer. Surprisingly full on the mouthfeel. I approve.

poured at the Jupiter brewfest. Cloudy gold pour. Good white head. Aroma is yeast, banana, cllove, gum and lemons. Flavor is creamy with lots of yeast, wheat, spices and gum. I rather enjoyed this one.

Tap at Gordon Biersch/Honolulu: Hazy amber colored pour with medium sized head. Yeasty, banana, lemony aroma. Wheat, yeasty, spicy finish. Not too bad at all.

On tap at the Palo Alto location. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium foamy white head that laced. This was a solid hefe. Has your standard banana, clove and juicey fruit gum thing going on in both the flavor and aroma. Some wheat notes. Everything else (mouthfeel, bitterness and carbonation) were in check with how a hefe should be.

Tap at the Glendale AZ brewery. Hazy yellow with a small head. Nose is very clovey and bananaish. Taste is very clovey, bananas, yeasty. Smooth and a good shot at a traditional Bavarian Hefe. Just not quite there but very drinkable nonetheless.

This is possibly the best hefe i have ever had. Aroma is a nice zesty lemon, the appearence is a cloudy light amber with a head that dissipates quickly. Flavour is a bit of initial citrus sourness with some banana and cloves mid palate with a rounded ripe banana finish. Finish is a bit short, but it is very good, no faults.

12 oz bottle: Pours hazy, gold orange with an off-white fading head. Clove aroma, mineral and malt. Prominent clove with banana and some apricot flavor. Sparkling carbonation and somewhat creamy malt body. Finishes same. To style with a bit of tang.
