CasperQuaffer (142), Casper, Wyoming, USA Feb 25, 2008 Aroma faint and a bit chemical -organic, but an off note. This is the typical wheat beer yellow with medium foam. Flavor is like watered down orange soda with a small bitter whang. The body is watery and not what one would suspect from a premium beer. Passable for drinking if mega brews are all that is available. BMan1113VR (2755), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Feb 25, 2008 Aroma of coriander, clove, some orange and a little bit of banana. Large, creamy, off-white head covering a hazy orange body. Clean tasting hefe with a bitter finish. Lively carbonation. Pretty decent overall. Thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this one. Wulfstan (509), California, USA Feb 25, 2008 This is a nice hefeweizen with a lighter bubblegum/banana quality and stronger toasty grain quality. It is lightly cloudy gold with a very big, dense off-white head that lasts long and is creamy. Teh aroma is 1st toasty grain but this gives way to bubblegum, banana, light yeasty wheat bread, fresh plums - very nice. The taste is tingly with a light grain quality throughout plus a light bubblegum and banana quality, lemon-lime soda pop, balanced sweet-bitter character, then in the finish the toasty grain takes over for a long finish, more so than seems usual for German hefeweizens. It’s a great example. Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA Feb 24, 2008 Pours out a cloudy amber with a thick, white, fairly persistent head. Aroma is strong and wheaty with some citrus component - but this may have come from the obligatory slice of lemon. Flavor is rich, wheaty with a hoppy undertone and just a touch of bitterness, and a lemony hint. Smooth, enjoyable, refreshing. armando629 (953), Budapest, Hungary Feb 23, 2008 Updated: May 23, 2009Beautiful amber-hazy appearance with a huge foamy stable head. The nose is complex:citrus some vanilla and banana fruit. The flavour is vanilla, some fenolic hints and a little fruit and yeast, moderated carbonation. Nice smooth taste. Classic of the style, correct and delicious. BuckeyeSammy (454), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Feb 21, 2008 Apricot color, white head. Unfiltered. Not a huge nose, yeasty aroma. Good wheat. Flavor is light yeasty, zesty, not seltzery, Nicely carbonated. Brewer101 (162), New Jersey, USA Feb 19, 2008 Didn’t do much for my palate, seemed a little too bland for me. The appearance was a hazy yellow with moderate head. Enjoyable but not that special for a hefeweizen to me. BorksBabe (81), Tampa, Florida, USA Feb 18, 2008 Very nice aroma of wheat, vanilla, slight citrus. Gorgeous mid-amber color, slightly cloudy. Starts with a thick head that takes about 10 minutes to settle, leaving slight lacing on the glass. Its flavor is very nice- slightly sweet, honey/wheat, with a banana and vanilla aftertaste. Smooth on the palate- a GREAT beer! Overall it’s awesome.
