Feb 5, 2009 (I had a Double IPA before this, so my taste buds are a little shot.)
Pours to a pale, cloudy amber with light, quickly dissipating white head that laces the glass with a medium grip. The nose is pure spice and banana, a sign of good things to come. This moderately carbonated hefe is a very spicy beer from start to finish, and as refreshing as any wheat brew should be. Most certainly worth visiting every few months.

Jan 30, 2009 This beer looks amazing. Such an enormous fluffy meringue like head, a nice cloudy light orange color. Plenty of good lace. The smell is intensely yeasty and dry with some good fruit scents. Some spiciness, some copper, and some bread dough. Flavor is just so quintessential for the style. but the notes are so well amplified. This is a fantastic tasting beer. There is a immediate yeasty and bubblegum flavor some apple and citrus along with the classic banana clove combination. This is sweeter than many hefes so I take it one bottle at a time, but it is such a delight.

Jan 29, 2009 Aroma is bubblegum and must. Nose is all clove. Pours a crystal clear golden. Flavor is sweet, cloveish and slightly back biting bitter. Definitely a true Hef! Bready notes strike in between the clove and bubblegum notes.

Jan 25, 2009 16.9 oz $3.20. Nice cloudy yellow, superb head. Typical smells of cloves. Flavor is bubblegum, clove, blackjack nice. This was definitely a good hefe and I am fairly ignorant when it comes to German beers. I’ll be picking up some more Weihenstephaner beers in the future.
