Sampled at the RBSG ’07 Grand Tasting. Pours a cloudy golden yellow brew with an average white head. Aroma of light wheat, yeast, strong banana esters, and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, dry with some clove and banana in the background. Finish is slightly dry and good balance of yeast and malt. Nice to see the historical Richbrau brand has returned after being lost for over 30 years.

RBSG 07. This is a solid hefeweizen. The aroma has banana, and more than usual. Flavor has light wheat, citrus, and a little more banana. Well balanced. Proper, cloudy appearance but no visible sediment.
