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: pours a cloudy orange with a big frothy white head, aroma of banana and yeast, taste is just a touch sour with banana and some spices, nice refreshing hefe.

$2.99 500 ml bottle. Yet another tasty hefe. Lots of banana in aroma, nice cloudy appearance. Really easy drinker, the bottle was gone quick. Tastes just like you would want a hefe to taste like. Right up there with Dancing Man, but for the price and ABV, DM has this beat for sure.

500mL bottle purchased from LCBO in Toronto. Pours a perfect wheat beer pour - light cloudy gold with a nice head. Nice aroma - more on the yeasty side than the banana side. The taste follow suit. A bit light, more focus on the yeast and wheat, less on the banana and clove. Some light spiciness associated with the yeast. Overall, slightly on the light side - or have my tastebuds been fried by too many weizenbocks?

Wehenstephaner claims to be the oldest brewery in the world! This beer has a good-sized, but quickly sinking cap. There is a nice aroma of floral hops and a little citrus and wheat. Rich hefe flavor - full wheat and yeast - holds up well without lemon. Tingly carbonation. One mouthful told me that this is a first-rate hefeweizen, and subsequent swallows did not disappoint. I can see that the rest of the ratebeer crowd feels the same way, since this is in the top 1% for the style.

Golden with a huge thick head. Lots of carbonation seen rising from the bottom. Smells like malted wheat and a little spice. Also a little lemon.Taste is heavy of malted wheat, barley, and lemon.Not bitter and just the right touch of alcohol.Carbonation is great. Good aftertaste.This is an immediate favorite.

500 mL bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy golden blonde, with a thick head, most of which dissipates quickly. Aroma is a spicy, Belgian-like yeast. The flavor starts out with a strong yeastiness, with notes of citrus and spice. Slight aftertaste of wheat. Very nice mouthfeel. Not really my style of beer, but excellent for what it is.
