<b>In short: </b>A superior nourishing and refreshing Hefeweizen. Believe the hype<br /> <b>How: </b>Tap at Volo, Toronto<br /> <b>The look: </b>Cloudy dark yellow body topped by a large white head with medium retention<br /> <b>In long: </b>Nose of lemon pie, coriander and orange peels. In mouth the beer feels very full with its big wheat body. Bready, doughy and crisp at the same time. Lemon pie, pancake, cloves, coriander, light acidity and tartness. One of the rare beer that manage to be both very nourishing and very refreshing, two desirable qualities that usually don’t come together, like a small ass and big tits.

Finally got to try this. Hazy orange-melon color with uneven bright white head. Not served in proper glass @ Cest What but still looks nice. Yeasty, sweet aroma. Lots of banana, orange, custard with nutmeg. Brilliantly soft mouthfeel. Creamy, silky. Fruity entry with melon and peach. Yeast stickinesss at end just enough, and ends up seeming dry and light. Lovely, admirable weissbier.

Draft @ Volo. Pours a hazy, toasted golden color with some fine particulates; thick, creamy off-white head with great retention and lacing that coats the glass; gorgeous pour. Nicely toasty nose, showing some lemon and husky wheat character; slightly light, with touches of clove. Medium mouthfeel: creamy, soft, velvety texture in the mouth; perfect presence; toasty wheat, lemony citrus with light acidity, and a solid dry clove presence; not intensely dense, but complex enough while still going down like water; I wanted to drink this for hours; gorgeously presented hefeweizen. Medium finish: toasty malts, dry cloves, and touches of vanilla and citrus; nicely dry and toasty.

Had on tap at a couple of places in Toronto. Tangy, lots of citrus, with wheat malt, banana, and spice. Relatively heavy and rich, but the lemon/sour balances the sweetness. This is certainly a decent hefeweizen with no outstanding faults, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why it is rated best in the world on this site. I don’t think it compares with the better Bavarian-made wheat beers.

This is easily my favourite Hefeweizen. In Toronto, this has the advantage over others in the style: fresh and local, not bottled and imported. It pours a hazy golden yellow, with a thick, frothy, pleasantly stubborn head. Wonderful citrus and banana aroma. Banana flavour is constant, with clove, citrus and subtle spices. Best pints poured at Cafe Volo.
