Bavarian-style wheat beer. A very refreshing and effervescent unfiltered ale with pronounced notes of banana and clove. Weizen is lightly hopped, and has abundant carbonation and a pleasant citric tartness. Especially nice during the hot days of summer.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a tall white head. Aroma is typical, a nice mix of banana and clove with some wheat. Flavor is about the same but a little watery. Some banana and clove with a bit of tartness in the end. An ok hefe to have around the house.

Bottle. My return to PA is unspectacular to date, and this golden pour with some haze and a little bit of a head leaves me little hope. Aromas are fairly sweet... honey, bread dough, lemon and maybe some yeast and cloves. Flavor is better than expected. I found a bit of a banana/clove presence that serves as a background to a bit of citrus and some coriander. This is pulled off fairly well, and I like this beer, but won’t be buying any cases anytime soon... still, I would buy this again.

Aroma is lemon and raisin. Semi-clear amber color with no head. Lemon and grain flavor, unremarkable. Crisp, abrupt finish. Nothing very impressive about this beer, but it’s enjoyable.

This weizen poured a clear yellow with a bright white head. Scents include the usual weiner/bologna scent that usually comes from these kinds of beer. Along with that a little citrus and a small amount of spice. First taste was extremely carbonated with the flavours of weiners. Full blown flavour of yeast though. Yeasty flavour carries right on through the palate to the end.

Initial possible off aroma, slight banana or something. It has a rememberable flavor, almost like a lager. I just about want to classify this as a typical pale yellow american beer. Same color and flavors but is just a little bit cloudy. Does not compare to franziskaner or other hefes I’ve tasted. Nice fizzy bite with a touch of bitterness on the finish. A little rough when compared to real hefe-weizens or white beers.
