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. Powerful aroma of yeast and wheat. Cloudy light orange body, large fluffy white head. Flavor is strong wheat, banana, lemon, mildly sweet. Finish also has some sweetness. Pretty much the perfect Hefe.

Really good hefe. I hear people talk about this like it’s the definitive example of the style. It definitely is good, but I’m not sure it’s head and shoulders above the rest. Still, tasted so good to miy palate.

Bottle at Heidis Bierbar Århus. Cloudy yellow colour with a big white and lasting head. Aroma and taste of fruit (banana, pineapple, grape) and yeast. Heavy weizen and so much more taste, than Erdinger and Franziskaner. One of the best, if not THE best. Thumbs up Kenni.

Cloudy pour. Aroma has notes of fruit and yeast. Taste reflects the aroma. This is a very good Hefe!
