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.

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.

Poured a copper orange with a small white head. Smells of lemons, tastes of lemons and bananas. Lots of fragrance, lots of taste. A very drinkable session beer.

Bottle. Aroma of crisp wheat, banana, clove and a hint of cinnamon. Mouthfeel is full, yet crisp. Flavors dance across the palate, infusing a well-balanced flavors that are also present in the aroma. Nice yeast component as well. Finishes dry-yet-juicy, not bitter nor sweet. Simple, but well composed.

Bottle from BevMo! Pours a cloudy yellow/gold color. Aroma is very yeasty with banana, clove, and a hint of bubble gum. Taste is the same, with a metallic and flat finish.

A great Hefe. Have not had one of these since I went to Germany. And I do miss it. Cloudy gold and smells of delicious yeast. Tastes of banana and fruit. Decent finish.

Bottle. Poured a hazy yellow, golden color with a frothy white head with nice lacing. The aroma was of clove and bananas and the flavor was the same, but not as good. The beer has a medium body, creamy texture, average carbonation, and an abrupt finish. Overally, this is a good beer. I wish the flavor was as good as the aroma. I would definately drink this beer again.

500ml bottles from Utobeer & Nelson Wines. Cloudy yellow amber with a lovely nose of clove and herbs. Fresh taste and a delicate palate. Overall, a great example of the style.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a large frothy head. Good retention and lacing. Aroma of banana, clove and bread. Taste is caramel, bread, banana, pineapple. Medium bodied.
