I just finished reading all of the reviews. Because I just finished my second bottle of this "natural wheat" hefe. I too was expecting more of this beer. After the buildup, it was a major disappointment. Yes, everyone else raved about it. Yes, I am comitting sacrilege by saying something negative. But I must point out that FOR ME, it was not a satisfying experience. For a hefe weizen, the bitterness, and the lack of drinkability was amazing. Definitely not smoooth. I have reading several sites raving about how it tasted like: Lemon. Banana. Clove. Bubblegum (?) Bread. Orange. Wheat. Grass-like. Pepper. Malt. Acerbic. Phenols. Yeast. Everyone kept saying "drink this beer if you want to know what a hefe is SUPPOSED to taste like." WHY has no one mentioned that IT TASTES LIKE SOMEONE ADDED A FEW DROPS OF TURPENTINE?! I distinctly taste pine! Is that normal for a Hefe? Sorry, guys! but this beer is nasty.

    A traditional German Hefeweizen from Munich, can’t beat that! This one pours a hazy light yellow with a frothy white cap. The aroma is clove, banana, wheat, and bubble gum. The flavour is sweet wheat, some coriander and clove, weak bubble gum, and a hoppy bitterness. Sweet gold in the mouth!

    Cloudy golden yellow with white foam head. Lacing and leaving drinking rings. Aroma is weak but a typical German Weißen. Taste is not outstanding, nothing special a weißen again. Nice long citrus aftertaste. (Velp 201212)

    Pours a murky honey orange with a small foamy orange-white head that settles to a small cap on top of the beer. Foamy rings of lace line the glass on the drink down. The aroma is of wheat, yeast, clove, and banana aromas. The taste is of wheat, yeast, and banana with a clove spice flavor that lingers on the finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good hefeweizen that is very refreshing and easy to drink.

    Looks great with a big white head above a hazy orange beer. Aroma has some citrus like lemon and lime and some spice yeastiness. Flavour is incredibly fresh and easy to drink. Didn't cost any effort to finish my 500ml glass. Really good beer to enjoy in the sun with some cheese.

    A muddied orange colored beer with a big creamy textured, white head rising above. Good hang time settling into a thick soapy ringlet and gentle cap atop the body. Light notes of lemon, spice and banana rise to the nose. And all of this is more prominent in the tasting. The pepper, the bananas, the wheat, the citrus. All well blended in a light-medium bodied beer.

    12 oz bottle - BevMo

    Aroma - classic german hefe aroma...ripe banana, punchy cloves, some light crackery notes with some underlying bubblegum but the banana takes front and center.

    Appearance - it really is a perfect pour into the hefe glass. Cloudy, bright yellow body, a creamy and fluffy white cap and really nice lacework left behind.

    Taste - light dried apricots, banana, wheat ...some subtle wet cereal flavor too. The warmer it gets, some citrus-like notes come out. Incredibly refreshing.

    Palate - smooth, creamy, light bodied, carbonation was suprisingly evident, almost too much

    Overall - just a superb summertime beer, easy to knock back several and flavorful enough to keep wanting more. My 6-pack was gone pretty quickly.

    Bottle. Poured an unfiltered hazy medium amber colored Hefe Weizen with a two fingers slight beige creamy foamy heead that had a long retention. Vigourous carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is yeast and wheat malts, fruity, citrus, orange, banana and spicy, cloves. The flavour is yeast, grainy malts, fruity, banana and spicy, cloves. This medium bodied beer has a nice fruity bitter end. A pleasant and refreshing Hefe Weissbier.

    Just about as good as it gets in this arena - excellent tangy citrus with an awesome cloudy color and thick white head. The best that I had was served, not with lemon, but with a grapefruit slice in the bottom of the glass!

    pretty good example of bavarian hefe, pretty tangy, full flavored. you can taste the wheat and other aspects (fruity, slight hops) as well. one i'd like to try again, and i don't say that about hefes much.
