Style: German Hefeweizen
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

semi cloudy very light yellow with a nice white head. an amazing cotton candy aroma. tastes like a yeasty flavored thing of pink cotton candy too, amazing.

Light hazy orange/yellow in my glass. Wispy head. The aroma had syrupy banana bread and spice. Wow, what a flavor! Very fruity (cotton candy like) with banana, clove (and other spice) and honey. Syrupy body, lingering. My wife thought it had a hint of cinnamon, coriander, and bananas. She also noted an orange flavor at the finish. We both liked it.

Solid all around - Hazy pale yellow, with a sizey whaite head. Really nice lemon custard aroma. Familiar wheat flavors - notes of vanilla, banana, bubblegum - blended together in a smooth, slightly viscous palate. Really tasty.

Hazy gold-copper hue with a frothy, eggshell head. Wonderfull real bubble gum and fresh banana aroma. Nice wheat presence in the aroma. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor becomes a moderately sweet, lightly acidic finish. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: pretty good, but there are some better German examples out there.

ummm yummers like whoa. smells like a frickin gumball machine. loaded with gummy, wheat, chewy flavors had a blue cotton candy kind of smell and taste. lemons finish it off.

Sweeeeeeeet. A bubblegum/cloves explosion with a smallish white head and a body so deep sunshine yellow it was glowing. Mouthfeel round but body a bit thin. Tad cloying towards the end of the glass. Leaves a bubblegum aftertaste. Aroma bubblegum, pears, cloves, and dough. Taste same with hints of vanilla and deep, massive, candied fruit sweetness. I like sweet weizens. Others may not. But for me this rocked.

A hazy orange beer with a fine white head. The aroma is of yeast, wheat, and peach - I don’t remember that before in a Weizen. The flavor has very strong notes of peach, but also notes of the wheat and yeast. And the body is thin. I don’t like peach in my wheat beer - maybe it is what others describe as bubblegum - so this is not really my game.

bottle from bbb63, yellow to orange color with a fizzy white head, body is full of carbonation. aroma is sweet, apricot and banana were the 2 things that got my attention. very light mouthfeel, crisp and refreshing, typical wheat sweetness is complemented by a slight sugary taste as well as alot of the banana tones from the aroma. aftertaste has the sugary character, you can even taste it on your lips afterward. i can see this beer going either way, depending on your feel for the sweetness, as it VERY sweet, but not tart or tangy, but i for one enjoyed it as a nice refreshing beer to cool down with for the evening.
