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.

Draft at the Pasadena location. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet wtih notes of banana and bubble gum. The flavor is sweet malty and wheaty with very strong notes of banana and bubble gum, leading to a dry wheaty and strawy finish.

Sampled draught at Gordon Biersch, Burbank.
Cloudy yellow. Estery banana aroma. Sweet, soft and aromatic. Light bodied with loads of cloves. Really good real hefeweizen, even if it might lack complexity.

re-rate: a little drier, cleaner than last visit. Upgraded score accordingly. old rate: Dark tan colour and cloudy. Big banana with light spice and autolyzed yeast. Sweet and soft with an appley, clovey character. Underpinning of sweet malt and a hint of wheaty tartness. The finish is a bit cloying. I respect where they’re going here but I don’t know that I like it.

(DC) Foamy white head atop muddy amber/gld body. Nice lacing. Aroma is moderately sweet, banana, some bubblegum, clove. Taste is medium sweet, banana, some bubblegum, clove. Watery medium body, some carbonation but no real crispness. Still, pretty drinkable.
