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.

Clear pale straw color with a think creamy head. Heady yeasty smell with the spice of cloves and a lots of esters on the back of the pallet, bannana, bubblegum. Taste is a light sweetness followed with a dry bitter. Soft feel with the tingle of champagne carbonation.

500ml bottle from the LCBO. Not my favorite style, but this one is very nice. Doesn’t clobber you over the head with clove and banana. Very balanced.

Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors. Smoothest Hefeweizen I have ever tried but the flavor left me wanting more. Banana aroma traditional to Hefeweizen’s wasn’t very strong and the same could be said for the flavor. Just not what I was expecting from it. On the positive side it pours a beautiful white head and goes down very smoothly. Still a great Hefeweizen but just not my favorite.

Tap @ Loreley. Quintessential hefewizen with light fluffy white head and lemony sweet spice nose. Very enjoyable on a mild day.

Bottle @ the now out of business La Bodega. Light cloudy yellow, with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is wheat and clove. Flavor is clove, light banana, wheat, a little hop but barely there. A great weizen.

On tap at Rattle ’N’ Hum (Midtown, NYC): the aroma gives off a strong banana and spicy clove feel, but the balance is perfect. Tastes similar to the aroma. Smooth finish, banana notes from beginning to end. Some cinnamon... But overall a chewy feel- definitely not like a crisp pils. Totally opposite and thats what I love about it. #055 on 08072009, DG.
