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.

Draft @ BSP. Pours a lovely, respectably cloudy sunset orange with massive billowing head. Nose is peppery and clove-like, with a bready yeast bite, and minimal lemony tartness. Very full on the palate, with wheaty malts in balance with slight citric tartness and a hay, barnyard hop character. Finishes smooth and crisp, with hardly any bitterness. An effortlessly drinkable hefeweissbier, pretty much the standard in my opinion.

Golden and cloudy with a good sized white head. Aroma is citrus and banana with spices. Flavor is clove and banana. Great example of a Weissbier.

pours a dark cloudy neon yellow with a huge four finger fluffy off white head. aroma is banana, clove, and lemon. has a medium body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger. it is a touch over carbonated but creamy at the same time. very nice.

This is definitely one of the better Weissbiers that I have had. You can tell that there is a long history behind this one. Flavor includes hints of citrus and banana, color is golden orange; appearance is cloudy, head is frothy with white foam; medium bitterness, full body, taste is creamy, carbonation is fizzy, with a nice long finish.

A very good hefeweizen, though not as citrusy as the Franziskaner. Very clean and srisp in body and wasily an all day drinker

500 mL bottle at Flat Rock Saloon. Drank this many a time...never rated apparently. Poured hazy orange with thick white head. Banana esters dominate the nose. Flavor is sweet with bananas and coriander with a dry finish. Very solid hefe.

Bottle-Munich. My first Hefe love. Poured a brilliant couldy orange and had the strong banana, clove nose. Perfect sweetness and left me craving more. This was the beer that got me into sampling!
