Once reserved for Bavarian royalty for its light sparkling quality, Hefeweizen is considerably more democratic today. In fact, at Gordon Biersch we've brewed a special batch of our Hefeweizen to serve our guests throughout July and August!
Hundreds of years ago in Germany, wheat beers were considered "breakfast" or "after church" beers, a testament to their light refreshing flavor and a tradition of drinking them on weekend afternoon. We invite you to enjoy our Hefeweizen any day of the week this summer along with our special summer menu.

Draft at the Pasadena location. An unclear golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet wtih notes of banana and bubble gum. The flavor is sweet malty and wheaty with very strong notes of banana and bubble gum, leading to a dry wheaty and strawy finish.

re-rate: a little drier, cleaner than last visit. Upgraded score accordingly. old rate: Dark tan colour and cloudy. Big banana with light spice and autolyzed yeast. Sweet and soft with an appley, clovey character. Underpinning of sweet malt and a hint of wheaty tartness. The finish is a bit cloying. I respect where they’re going here but I don’t know that I like it.

.5 L draft at the Gordon Biersch Power and Light District - Kansas City. This was enjoyed on the patio on a nice summer afternoon with people watching a plenty (Rock Fest was that day - I’m glad I don’t have daughters. Seriously). Pour is cloudy cheddar cheese [tm] orange with a bunch of floaties and a pretty white head. Aroma of banana, wheat and bubble gum. Had a pretty generic "Hefe" nose. Taste reveals some citrus tartness, then the banana, wheat and bubble gum. Some spice and clove also is evident. Palate is medium, though still crisp and refreshing. This was a nice warm day patio beer.m

Tap. Bubblegum and peach aroma. Cloudy amber color with moderate head. Sweet bubblegum and peach flavor - didn’t really get that much malt flavor. An okay Weizen but a bit too sweet and not enough malt for me.
