Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Bottle pours cloudy gold with a large, soft, white head which leaves nice lacing. Aroma smells of banana bread with additional notes of lemon and bubblegum. Flavor is bananas, wheat dough and lemon curd. Overall the body is light to moderate, with a creamy texture and a short finish. Definately a classic Hefe.

Pours hazy golden with generous creamy foam. Aroma is bready with a heavy banana sweetness. Flavor is also strong in banana and fruity sweetness with a doughy yeast flavor balanced with just enough carbonation.

Banana-yellow color with thick, frothy white head, reminiscent of roasted marshmellows; cloudy and effervescent. Medium Aromas of topical fruit-banana and papaya-as well as yeast and wheat. Palate is creamy, malty and very sweet with long, arid, "wheaty" finish.

Quintessential German Hefeweizen. Had some on tap at Rattle n Hum. Poured a cloudy orange with a light, white head. Nose of yeast, coriander and citrus. Nice bready flavor with notes of orange, corn-on-the-cob, and yeast. Light to medium bodied with good carbonation, this beer has just enough crispness to remain smooth and refreshing. Great stuff.

" His family owns the oldest brewery in Barvaria" " It was the greatest beer in all the world" one of these quotes from Beerfest is true and it’s the oldest brewery. I will say though of the German wheat beers out there this one is my favorite. Great for the style and a bit more disernable on all flavors than others. Thumbs up from me.

Cloudy golden-yellow, large lingering white head, good lacing. Aroma is very yeasty, lots of bananas, oranges, wheat, perfume. Flavour is of perfume, floral hops, tons of yeast, lots of bananas. Yeasty mouthfeel, medium body, high carbonation. Finishes long, yeasty, dry.

Incredable amounts if yeast and must in this one. Very refreshing, highly drinkable.

500ml bottle purchased from the LCBO in Peterborough, Ontario.
Opened on February 26, 2009.
Best before March 4, 2009.
