Nov 20, 2007 Bottle: Poured a hazy brown yellow with a creamy off white head. Nice hefe aroma filled with bananas and spice, light yeast. Nice bitter first bite grabs your taste buds and opens it up to that spice wheat flavor. Doesn’t have that overwhelming bread loaf feel so its more balanced.

Nov 17, 2007 I’m not a huge hefeweizen beer drinker but when I do, I prefer the German style. The aroma definately has banana/lemon/spice notes to it. The appearance is a nice hazy golden color which is text book for a hefe. It has a nice balance of wheat, banana, citrus and spice with a touch of hop bitterness. It is a solid, reliable hefeweizen.

Nov 14, 2007 Pours a cloudy gold with a surprisingly small head and just a bit of lace. Aroma is very potent and sweet. Tastes very bready and thick, light citrus (orange). Body is incredible - completely coats my mouth, great carbonation and a thick, chewy body. Wow! A very nice wheat beer, a bit on the subtle side as far as spicing goes, but very pleasant. More of an early fall or late spring beer rather than a summer beer. Tasty!

Nov 11, 2007 330 mL bottle. Cloudy, dirty blonde in colour with a good head. Mild hefe aroma. The flavour is citrus sour balanced by banana-yeast sweetness, but not strong. Some bitterness in the finish. Good, but far from overwhelming.

Nov 11, 2007 From a bottle poured hazy golden color with a good amount of head, and a little particulate in the bottom. Nice citrusy flavor with a good finish.

Nov 10, 2007 I’m not a hefe fan, but this one’s listed on the top 50 accessible beers, so I had to try it. Pours a typical hazy citrus orange colored hue. Nose is yeasty and bitter. Flavor is similar, with a touch of spice and sweetness. Finish is bitter and clean. One of the better hefe’s I have had, and the only German one. Not one of my favorite styles, but over all, not bad.
