Commercial Description:
A full, clove-like flavor and unique banana aroma are reward enough for mastering this tongue twister of a name.

This is probably in the wrong catagory, i think it lacks some real german flavor, but still not a bad brew for an american brewed heffe

I love Leinie's, but like many other American brewers trying to make a hefeweizen, I don't know why they bother. Doesn't have the real body of a hefeweizen. Looks more like a Krystalweizen, and tastes more like a light beer.

Draft. A good approximation of a true german wheat. Hazy yellow. Full, sticky white head. Clove aroma and flavors blended well with banana. Light to medium bodied with moderate aftertaste.

Weak spiciness, not like most German-brewed Heffes. No banana/bubblegum hints noticed. But it looked good in the glass and was refreshing, but not a great heffeweize.

One of the top domestic hefes. They haven’t brewed this oone in some time and I hope they bring it back. Light straw color with a tall foamy white head. Typical clove and banana aroma and flavor. I believe they used a derivative of ’weihenstephaner’ yeast to obtain these.

The unfiltered beer brings a very different flavor and texture to the table. I would recomend Wheat beer to any one and everyone!

Nice thick head golden color, light body. Musty weak taste. Why are the Leinencrapals getting such high ratings?
