Commercial Description:
This coarse filtered wheat ale is fermented with a German yeast culture for a refreshingly light spiciness and hints of citrus fruit. A cloudy appearance and an immense creamy head are characteristic of this lightly hopped Bavarian brew.

Dusty yellow body, fairly full and creamy head that lasts a decent while. Sweet lemon banana aroma with more of the same in the flavor except with more wheat. It is sweet, but not too sweet. That, plus the soft feel on the tongue and decent body makes me love it.

On tap at the Horseshoe Pub. Has a clouded yellow color with a small white head. Smell is of banana/yeast/citrus. Taste is medium bodied with banana/yeast/citrus flavors and finishes a little too thin. Overall a pretty good wheat, better than most American brewers.

Cloudy gold color, white head. Aroma of banana, some yeast, and citrus. Flavor has a big lemon prescence, a little tart even, along with banana and a bit of spice. Quite smooth, thirstquenching. Pretty nice.

Clodu light amber in color with a small white head. Aroma of banana and light citrus. Flavor is sweet like banana bread and a light wheat malt mouthfeel.

Cloudy straw body, minimal head, mild banana nose. Very yeasty flavor, sour citric middle with a touch of bitterness in the finish.

Pours with a two-finger head that goes quickly and leaves no lace. Medium carbonation. Cloudy amber color. Nose is yeasty. Light bodied, I expect a little more beef with a hefeweizen. Starts with a wheat/yeast flavor and finishes with a yeasty aftertaste. It is though, a good summer beer. $1.95 for a 16oz bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, MA.

color is lightly hazy yellowish golden...kind of clear for a hefe...head is white and creamy. aroma is very spicy (clove), very bubblegummy...banana is quite subdued. wheat is quite apparent. flavor is mild bubblegum and mild spice, mostly sweet...decent mouthfeel...i would have expected a nice hefe from sprecher and i got it.
