Pours a sparkling clear, yellow color with an average, white, foamy head which lasts longer than expected and leaves minimal, tight lace; very clear for a "hefe." Nose is fairly faint; notes of lemon citrus, light bubblegum, moderate wheat, and hints at clove and banana. Flavor is more like the style with moderate amounts of clove and banana esters with just touches of wheat bread, lemon citrus, and vanilla. Palate is quite lively, creamy, and medium; the body and texture were nice but the carbonation was a bit much. Finishes with some clove, banana, light spice, and lingering bready notes. Nothing special, nice body but too much carb., nice flavor but lacking the more prevalent notes in the nose. Drinkable hefe, nothing else.

Bottle: Golden, hazy, lively carbonation, smaller to medium-sized off-white head; sweetish lemony-orangey nose with a grainy-wheaty background; moderate sweet, light sourish flavour, a bit fizzy, medium bodied; sweetish-fruity finish. A pleasant, not too demanding Weizen........

12oz green bottle served in a Weizen glass. Hazed yellow body topped by an inch of white head. Ha some of that signature "green bottle smell" as well as some tart and fruity esters. Taste of dough, banana, slightly lemony. Smooth and creamy. Much better than I had anticipated.

@ Biergarten Chinesischer Turm in munich. Nice hefe IMO. Cloudy, yeasty, aromas & taste of bananas & clove. Nice creamy mouthfeel. Tastes like a hefe should

12 oz bottle. Weak, not very appealing aroma for a hefe, stale bread and sugary lemons, and minor yeast. Not a great pour either, very little, fizzing head, cloudy yet slightly watery looking, almost like watered down orange juice. The taste doesn’t make this beer much better, semi watery and fizzy feel, has a flavor of an average lemony american wheat beer. Highly disappointing.
