Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier

Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan
Style: German Hefeweizen
Freising, Oberbayern, Germany

When this is poured I dont see a beer but a blond women in a golden dress. Probably the best German Hefe-Weizen there is. Nice banana aroma. Like most good hefe-weizens they are one of the few beers that is better in the bottle than from the tap.

(bottle) pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a tall white head. aroma of peanuts, cloves, wheat and light hop spices. flavour is mostly wheat and peanuts, with light notes of clove and bubble-gum. smooth, although strongly carbonated, with a medium body.

Aroma is banana/citrus and easters. Pours cloudy orange with rocky white head. Flavor is crisp citrus and banana with an undertone of spice. Finish is nice and dry. Medium body with okay head retention. Sweet and refreshing, almost like a Witbeer with more banana and spice. Well done. Probably the best Hef out there. If you like WIdmer Bros, you have to try the original!

From bottle. Part of Dayton Beer Tasting July Event. Paired with chevre on crostini. Poured cloudy light amber as remembered. Typical banana wheat aroma with cloves and citrus. Light citrus taste mixed with wheat with a long lasting finish. Great hefe.

Bottle. This tastes remarkably good for an import. I can only imagine the flavour of a fresh draught pint. Pours a tall golden colour, cloudy, with a generous, aromatic head: smells of lemon, banana. Someone here wrote bubblegum aroma: I can understand that. The flavour is heavy on the banana, with a bit of pleasantly sour fruit. The bottled weissbier of choice.

Fantastic German Weissbier. Lovely Hoppy aroma, complemented by a scent of clove and friuty overtones! Great out of a bottle, great from draught! Best German Weissbier I have ever had.

7 oz draught sample. Cloudy yellow pour with a thin white head. Aroma of bread and yeast. Taste of the same with some subtle hints of citrus. Slightly watered down finish.

From bottle. Wonderful sweet banana wheat aroma, with clove and mild citrus notes, yeast funkyness and light gaseousness. Great nose on this one - this exemplifies what I think of when I think German Hefeweizen smell. Cloudy medium amber body with foamy off-white creamy-foamy lacing head. Medium bodied, with medium carbonation that’s almost effervescent. Starts with terrific fresh sweet wheat malt, light banana, and some chalky bitterness. Light amount of citrus character and yeasty taste. Even a bit of clove and vanilla in there, too. Light and refreshing and one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
