Large white head that lasts, minimal laceing. Hazy gold color. Sour lambic like nose, hints of citrus. Light body, lively carbonation. Light malt flavors, citrus notes, moderatly sour and acidic. Finish is dry, tart. More of a wit flavor than weizen IMHO.

Thanks to CB and TAR for sending me this brew in out recent trade, Great Trade!
Foggy orangey copper body with a nice foamy ivory head. The nose has Strong notes of coriander, plums, banana and wheat. The flavor is pulling large notes of apple, clove and coriander, very refreshing and light. A lemony orange citrus flavor backs up the wheat….. nice silky and crisp palate…. I would certainly drink this again!
This Weizen would be a delightful accompaniment to a dish of sweet and sour chicken.

Has a hazy orangish color with a light off-white head and high carbonation. Smell is of clove/ginger/citrus. Taste is also of the clove/ginger/citrus and finishes pretty dry. Overall an interesting wheat, but not one for me to drink regularly.

very expensive, 10 bucks a bottle. but, a great take on a german wheat. very nice rounded malted taste with a nice bit of little bubbles and fruity wheaty smell. very recommended, especially for cases of the hefe weizen blues

Bottle. Orange color, very hazy. Tiny white head. Aroma is yeasty, citrous and banana. Flavor is not as yeasty but somewhat yeasty. I taste clove and apple. Palate is sharp with a bitter finish. I have to say that this beer is generally authentic. There is a smokiness that I don't really care for but overall very good.

very cloudy butterscotch color. head is thin and white. aroma is surprisingly strong on clove. banana is there but it's kind of subdued. there's a little woodiness in the aroma as well. flavor is tart with lots and lots of clove and the banana. mouthfeel is surprisingly not that thin.

Murky golen ale with no head. Aroma is spicy. Notes of coriander, yeast and spiced, cooked apples. The flavor is well-balanced and tart. Nice, clean finish.

Yellow with an orangish tint, big bubbly head that lasted. Mostly airy malty aroma with a hint of citrus. Thin consistency and light in flavor ... super-sweet lemon for the most part, with a hint of clove. Not what I expected.
