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.

Niced hazy golden pour, good head at first but quickly fades. Typical banana and clove aromas with a touch of cereal and hay smells. Nice body and decent mouthfeel. Slightly watery with a spice predominant flavor along with some decent yeasty citrus in there as well. Solid

on tap at Washington DC location. Pours nice and cloudy, light summery nose of citrus and wheat. A good hefe because it’s not too sweet..light and fruity with a clean crisp finish.

The best of the beers I tasted from this brewery. Pours a hazy orange. Aromas of orange peel and corriander, just like you would expect. Some banana as well. Some nice spices in both the aroma and the flavor. Well balanced.

On tap at the Rockville location: Pours a hazy yellow golden with a well-lacing froth of white head. Has an authentic sweet wheat and banana nose with some clove spice and Bavarian yeasty esters. Starts with good fullness for the style and chewy sweet malted wheat well-balanced with a clove spice and a hint of lemon citrus before a smooth semi-sweet finish. A good example of the style.

Very cloudy ambar colour, almost no head and very little lacing. Yeasty bread aroma with sweet fruit noticeable. Very noticeable bubblegum and fruit flavour, yeasty bread and noticeable carbonation. Very good beer, better than the Marzen

Impressive hefe! Aroma of banana, clove and a bit of alcohol. Creamy head soaks into the toungue and lightens the mood immediatley. Classic cloudy yellowish amber. Very refreshing, one of the better hefes on tap out there.
