  Oh, nostalgia! It has been far too long since I have sampled this brew. I have had this in 1/2 liter bottles, 5L mini-kegs, and on tap. Believe me, this tastes great anyway you can get it, but it is surpassingly delicious on tap. I remember sitting with some fellow soldiers in a biergarten in a little town north of Mannheim, Germany, taking my first sip of draft Eichbaum Hefeweizen, and being totally floored by the overall sensory delight of this beer. There was a slight hint of roses in the bouquet, and the color was medium pale and cloudy. The flavor was perfectly balanced between maltiness and the true-to-form tart/sour taste, and WOW!, what an incredible bananna-clovey finish. Beautiful light buff rocky head, huge and long-lasting. Great with schnitzel und spaetzel. It is a minor tragedy that this beer is not available in the US (or is it)? I have written to Eichbaum BEGGING them to export their products to the US (or at least Columbus, OH). I guarantee there are 100's of ex-GI's here that will be more than willing to generously support their efforts if Eichbaum will just take the chance!
