Pours dark cloudy yellow with a white head. Banana and bubble gum aromas. The flavor is a great hefe. Sweet banana malts with just the right balance to make sure the sweetness is just right. Easy drinking flavorful brew. I enjoyed being able to taste pronounced flavors that I enjoy from a hefe with a good body to back it up. One of Sierra Nevada’s better offerings. I could sit around and drink this beer all day and never get tired of it. Perfect for any time.

Dec 9, 2009 Appearance: Poured from the bottle an opaque hazy golden color. Decent head. I took the label’s advice and poured 2/3, swirled the bottle, and poured the rest. Solid presentation.
Smell: Distinct hef tanginess in the nose.
Taste: The tangy nose carried over to the taste. There’s a refreshing crispness that borders on a tinny taste. But it doesn’t go over the line. Probably stays further from the line on draft.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation levels were noteworthy with the very tiny bubbles.
Drinkability: Not as complex as some other Hefs I’ve had (despite what the label says) but the Kellerweis is a solid, straight forward representation of the style. I’d have no problems recommending this to a friend that enjoys a better than average Hefeweizen.

Dec 9, 2009 Served in a 12 oz bottle.
Aroma- clove nose, phenolic, notes of citrus. very pleasant.
Appearance- golden yellow color, bright white head.
Taste- very good! great blend of clove flavors, with banana, hints of vanilla. very smooth and drinkable. nice carbonation gives it a light body.
Palate- light body, lively carbonation. slight sourness in the finish.
Overall, a great beer on a warm summer’s eve. would go great with fish, fruity foods. a very good american version of the style.

Dec 9, 2009 Pours an opaque yellow, a shade slightly darker than the bottle’s label. Accompanied by a sizeable white foam head. Aroma is of banana and citrus. Honey, clove, orange peel and other spices. Thin texture without much carbonation. A pretty unique hefe, but not really my type of brew. Reminds me faintly of Duvel or Golden Monkey, probably due to having similar spices. In my opinion this beer would greatly benefit from a fuller body and higher alcohol content.

Hazy orange color, decent creamy white head. Strong bubblegum and banana aroma. Wheaty, bubblegummy flavor. Smooth palate. Sweetish hefeweizen. Quite German, not much "American".

Dec 2, 2009 12oz. Aroma is full of wheat (both malted and unmalted) and a little banana. When drunk there’s a slight acid sourness and just noticable hop bite to balance the round wheat/grain/earth flavor. Less bubbly then I was expecting but delicious. Yay beer!

Nov 29, 2009 A very good Hefe. Pours a cloudy golden color and the aroma is classic German wheat: clove and yeast. The flavor is very tasty, banana, clove and yeast. Surprisingly, this is a great wheat even comparable to the German Hefe’s. A surprise from a mediocre brewery.

Nov 28, 2009 Overall good hefeweizen. Very drinkable with a slightly pungent mouth feel. Could detect hints of banana, cereal, nuts, and resin.
