1 pint 6 fl. oz. bottle, 2007 vintage. Pours a cloudy honey color with a small head. At 7.5% ABV, this is the strongest Hefeweizen I have ever tried. Flavor: lemon and wheat, with just a hint of hops.

Very impressed with this drink - Stunning appearance in the glass - truly a work of art. Heavy wheat malt very reminiscent of the standard Pyramid hef; bubblegum and banana with a touch of spice upfront. Not much hop noticable in the drink but just enough to balance out the fine malt complex. A tad yeasty on the finish as well with a little citrus tart. Very soft and enjoyable. Great Googley Moogley this was a fantastic Hefe!

Yum yum yum. A very very nice cloudy hefe that is orange and yellow. Pours with a nice head and is completely cloudy like a murky pond. Malts are very sweet and this beer goes down very smooth.

22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Pours out an extremely cloudy orangish color. Thin tan head leaves a ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass. Banana aromas with some background cloves in the nose. Flavors are of apricots, spicy fruits, orange peel. Malts shine thru along with the hops at the very end. Thick mouthfeel, rich & chewy. Slightly sweet finish. Alcohol is very well hidden on this brew. But it does sneak up on you. Beware.
