Pours a hazy gold color with a white head that had good lacing. You can taste cloves and a hint of banana. This is not a bad beer.

Cloudy gold with a fluffy white head. Body is simple and unremarkable. Would be an OK match with food but can’t really stand up on its own.

On tap at Essen-Haus in Wisconsin Dells. A fairly standard hefe: hazy yellow with a big, fluffy white head. Aroma has the yeasty banana and clove notes, there seems to be more clove characteristics in this than in some of the other hefes I’ve had recently. A lot of wheaty, rye notes in the flavor as well. A touch thinner than I like. A very decent hefe, I’m surprised at the rather low scores.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with lots of rising bubles and a nice amount of frothy white head. Aroma is sweet, banana, and slight citrus. Flavor is very bananay slight lemon undertone and wheaty. Overall, a so so brew.

Hazy pale yellow with a solid white head. Tart, yeasty, spicy, phenolic aroma. Rather thin in body. A bit sweet with some light caramel, banana and citrus. Tart finish.

16.9 oz. brown bottle. Pours a deep cloudy orange with a whipped mirungue-like head. Aroma is all citrus and cloves with a hint of vanilla. The body is ligth yet mouth-filling due to the CO2. Flavors are abundantly clove-likle with a sweet citrus tank. Sherbet-like. The only thing missing is the banana. I’m just a snob for the Weihenstephan yeast. If a hefe brewery doesn’t use it their product will be, without a doubt, inferior to the original.

500ml Brown Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow with a huge, rocky head that lasts... Aromas of fruit- typical weizen aromas, if a bit subdued. The flavor is mild, with the typical flavors of the style. Not bad... having said that I think this is very underrated, and while not the best I’m not sure why it is so poorly rated.

I love hefeweizens but this beer is crap. Proof positive that the Germans are just as capable of brewing crap as any other nation. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a hazy caramel color with a huge white head. The aroma is sour tangy macro malts. The flavor is moderately bready and wheaty with a sour macro tang towards the finish. Totally unimpressive.
