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.

On tap @ Jake’s Bar and Bistro, this one is on quite regularly at Jake’s and I love it, from the oldest brewery, great spiced bread and old banana flavors, call me crazy but a brewery that’s been there for almost 1000 years has got it down!

Pretty clear for a hefeweizen, white head does not last. Taste is some bannanas and cloves plus bread and yeast. Good beer - its drinkable and refreshing though not particularly memorable.

Bottle poured into a pint glass. Color was a hazy light gold color, with frothy white 1-inch head. Aroma of cloves, wheat, orange, coriander, and flowers. Taste was of citrus and spice. Awesome mouthfeel, very crisp and quenching. Great beer.

Very smooth Hef with great aftertaste that rests on the back of the tongue. One of the best Hefs I have had hands down. This would be great on a warm summer day with some beer brats.

Pours a crystal gold with a fluffy head. Some light fruit on the nose, and the taste is This is such a refreshing beer; it begs to be sipped on a patio in the summer. One of my favorites. A little on the simple side when it comes to flavor, but always satisfying when you’re looking for something light. Pairs great with candied walnuts.

Bottle from Farm Fresh on April 3, 2009. As far as hefeweizen’s go they don’t get much better than this. Thankfully this is easy to find because it is one of the best in it’s category.

Huge fluffy head that sticks around for awhile. Nice looking translucent orange haze color. A very awesome looking beer. Huge yeast citrus aroma. This has a ridiculous aroma to it. A nice yeast hefeweizen smell. Jeez this aroma is pungent. Nice banana clove smell. Big on the yeast and banana flavor. A very good taste, but it is missing the spices. I think there could be more clove. Not as thick as I would like it. One of the best, if not the best german hefeweizen I have ever had. Overall, great beer.

Big, hazy, golden and unmistakably German. Loads of banana in the aroma which makes it quite a palpably thick smell. Citrus and coriander top-notes. Some lightly roasted caramel and cereal hidden back there too. Very sweet and fruity. A tiny dry tingle deep in the throat brings some biscuity powderiness. Orange peel and juicy mango with very obvious yeast. Lovely thick, whipped cream texture. An absolute pleasure to drink.
