Bottle. The white large creamy head stays relatively long, the body is clear and dark yellow. The aroma is sweet, light fruity, reminds me a little bit of an sweet cake, rather unusual for a Weizen. The taste is light sour and mild. The beer is light, creamy and with not much carbonation.

Bottle. Pours a yellow orange body with a white head. Fruity bananas, lemon zest, a note of bubblegum. Thin mouthfeel with some malt and wheat. Light spiciness. Eh so so.

(bottle - 500 ml fliptop) Cloudy golden pour with a thick and foamy white head. Aroma is light and sweet. Some wheat and yeast but tons of tropical fruit. Bananas abound followed by a very light hint of clove and orange peel. Almost smells like a banana popsicle. Flavor has much of the same sweetness mixed with a very nice and spiced wheat middle. Cloves and allspice are present in the middle with a fruity and yeasty finish. Clean and lightly spicy.

A quite delicious german hef from the mother land. It pours a cloudy hazey lazy golden colour with a medium size white head with decent froth and intriquite lacing down the glass. Banannas, green apple,clove, orange peel on the nose. Soft spice on the palate, tropical fruit- reminds me of runts.

Always enjoy seeing the bottles with these funky tops. Bob shared his bottle at the super bowl. Very nice cloudy appearance, thick white head. Egg and banana nose. Sharp sour palate, some bananas. Decent.

Aroma is awesome on this one. Bubblegum and must, just like a GHef should be. Appearance is almost grey - strange. Pours with tons of fluffy head. Flavor is a strange mix of diactyl and sugar. Not the greatest Hef.

Applesauce color with a white head that has decent retention. Some spice in the aroma with some banana and earth. Not a lot of flavor here but some clove and yeast. A bit of earthiness and some bread. It warmed well and smoothed out as it did so. This beer is crisp and refreshing. Flavors are not big but are enjoyable. It would be a great beer to sip on a hot summer day.

Cloudy golden color with nice white head. Aroma of banana and a bit of spice. Bit of bread in there but banana is the dominate. The clove is in the background with this one but still there. I like the banana front on hefes so this works. Very nice.
