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.

De couleur dorée-orangée et très trouble, elle dégage des arômes de bananes et des notes d’houblon. En bouche, elle est plutôt tranchante, épicée et pétillante et en finale, les notes plus douces de bananes font surface. Le houblon apparait quelque peu en arrière goût. Bonne bière.

Aroma is floral with citrus and something that my nose reacts to as chemical. Citrus and mild hop dominate the nose while banana constitutes the body. finishes light, sweet and fruity. This is the quintessential Hefeweizen and a true classic!

Another good weissbier from the swap. Poured from bottle to pint glass. Large head and excellent lacing. Cloudy body and a medium yellow / orange color. Average maltiness with hay flavors. Light hops with citrus notes. Kind of a soap yeasty finish. Light to medium body and an oily texture. Soft carbonation.

Pours a hazy blonde color with a decent white head. Aroma of banana, bubblegum and wheat. Flavor starts off sweet and thick and also has a sweet finish. Very well balanced.

(12 ounce bottle - pint glass) Pours a hazy yellow color with a pillowy white cream head. There is little aroma due to the thick head but the aroma that is there is of yeast bannanas and cloves. Taste is a bread and hay malt, it also has tastes of yeast, bannana and cloves. There is also light notes of lemon. Has a great fizzy lively carbonation. It has a short abrubt finish. Pairs great with sushi.

A: Pours a cloudy murky yellow brown color with a booming head. The head dies down to a manageable level but is continually fed by stream after stream of bubbles. S: Tons of aromas in this one. Banana, Clove, Lemon, and Bubble Gum. The aroma lets you know this is a wheat beer and a good one at that. T: Big bold flavors for a wheat brew. It has all that you would expect in there just more of it. Lemon, over ripe banana, and clove dominate. The yeastiness is there giving it an almost sour dough bread type quality. M: Light and sparkling like a good wheat beer should be.

Another refreshing German hefe. Bannana, clove, and yeasty flavors are followed by a malty finish. Its not too spicy or citrusy which makes for a lighter flavor.

12fl oz bottle poured into a weizen glass. Cloudy orange with a ton of creamy white head. Aroma is yeast, banana, citrus. Flavor is citrus, bread, clove, slight banana, very yum. Light-bodied, light to medium carbonation, very smooth. Short finish is very mellow yeast, ever so slight hops. Extremely drinkable. Excellent brew - a fine example of a hefeweizen.
