Valentins Hefeweissbier

Brewed by Parkbrauerei (Actris Group)
Style: German Hefeweizen
Pirmasens, Germany

Bottle. Ripe banana and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy brown yellow color with a nice big fluffy head. Banana-apple and strong wheat malt flavor. Very nicely balanced. Good stuff.

Pours a fully clouded brown gold with a huge white head that falls, but sticks around for a little bit. Nose is earthy and tar-like yeast. Flavor is a bit lighter at the start than I would have figured with what I got on the nose and how it looks. It lifts itself up fairly quickly though. Lemon tones with a fairly strong yeast body. Very mild tar on there. But the aftertaste is what is really key here. Man does it stick around. Feel is nice and smooth on the liquid and with a decent bubble. Pretty drinkable. Smooth and even and well made. Nothing showy at all. Just a decent hefe. Worth a shot.

500 ml bottle, bought in Edinburgh. ABV is 5.3%. Hazy pale golden colour, huge white head. Lovely hefeweizen aroma, the usual notes: cloves, banana, bubblegum. Soft mouthfeel, sweeter than many other h.w.s, moderate flavour of banana and cloves.

bought in a can withe head,not very long lasting by opening can,really intensive banana-smell,yeast smell too,and a little of clove by tasting it,banana smell is much less intensive than in the first smell,clove is getting really stronger(i write first smell,because smell changes rather quickly in the glass,here too,clove is accreasing.perhaps this is so,because i drunk that beer not relly cold,but i prefer less cold beer,than to cold one.)yeasty taste. not bad carbonated. aftertaste is relly clovy and hoppy too. astonishing good for a beer,that costed only 1,10 swiss-francs!good to accompagnate weisswurst or other sausages!(and i must confess,i’m almoust fanatically fond of sausages!)

banana and slightly rotten peach. just the thing for a spring afternoon at the biergarten

Canned(500ml). - cloudy pale orange coloured with a firm lasting head, fruity (banana and orange) aroma with fresh citrus notes, slight acidic lemon finish, refreshing but nothing else worth of mentioning

Bottled 5.3%. Pour was very think and yeasty. Aroma is banana’d out its tits, a super wheaty beast. Taste is similar very yeasty fruity esters with banana being key, possibly the wheatyest beer iv ever had, notes of sahti about it also.

Botella. Cloudy golden with a huge white steady head. Aroma of wheat and fruits, mainly banana. Good filling mouthfeel. Fresh wheat flavour with yeast, banana, light spice and some citrus. Nice!
