Kapuziner Weissbier

Brewed by Kulmbacher Brauerei (Schörghuber)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Kulmbach, Germany

A Mes rate: Bottle at Quinns.
Cloudy golden brown with a tenacious white head. Dusty hops, slight tobacco and banana in the nose. Flavour is full on banana with some mellow malt and hops lurking in the background. Dry yet sweet finish. Interesting but not amazing.

Bottle. Cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is typically spicy, sweet and banana. Flavour is sweet, slightly too sweet with lots of banana and some spice in the finish. Quite boring, even for the style.

Bottle. Pours a hazy pale orange color with a longlasting white head. Sweet wheat aroma with some spicy yeasty banana hints. Sweet malty wheat flavor with some banana hints and also some hints of yeast. Sweetish malty fruity wheat finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

a nice hefe this - lively pour with plenty of suds, thick cloudy amber. banana and other fruits with yeast on the nose. flavour tangy and balanced more towards fruity than sour, malty smooth sweetness with a little bitterness on the tongue. smooth, dry finish. a very decent hefe.

From tap at Ølbaren. Bubblegum, wheaty and slight fruity aroma. Flavour is slight malty, wheaty and solid banana fruity. But somehow not unpleasant. Light spiced and mild wheaty finish. Quite nice, smooth and not too banana fruity.

I agree with a lot of the comments below - a Hefeweizen is always good, but this is a little too sweet for my liking. Nevertheless, very drinkable.

I have yet to try this one from the bottle but have had it on tap and it was delicious. A very good and refreshing beer with a taste quite typical of a German Hef. I’ve had better hefs but this one is still worth buying especially on tap.

My 25 oz bottle has a green label and it says ’Bavarian Hefe Weizen’ on it. I believe this bottle to be about a year old, date code 1626304. A little sweet and alky in the aroma. Big foamy rocky head, swirling hypnotizing wheat color pour. An off white tempest from the gunk on the bottom of the bottle. Tingly at first on the taste buds but goes flat rapidly in the glass. The taste has some wheat like attributes but it is not as mild as I prefer. has a mild orange background lurking on the back of the palate. The character contains some medicinal hints. Overall, not actually bitter but perhaps more malty. Overall, a little more alky personality than I care for in a ’bavarian wheat’. Probably would not purchase again.
