This style gets its very literal name from the large percentage of wheat used as well as the cloudy appearance created by leaving yeast in the beer. The yeast we use gives the classic banana and clove flavors characteristic to the style.

From tap at BeerTemple, Amsterdam. Aroma is sweet banana with soft bubblegum, modest yeast character, touch of citrus. Flavour is sweetish with a light bitterness. Body is medium. Decent enough Hefe.

Draft at Olde Hickory. Pours a hazy straw gold with a finger of white foam that lingers, then dissipates. Aromas of bubblegum, banana and light citrus. A bit watery on the palate and missing that refreshing, scratchy carb I like with the best German hefes. Finishes kind of watery.

Bottle with sediment on the bottom. Pours clear pale but if I swirl it it gets the yeast stirred up and it starts to look like a real hefe. Mild hefe gentlemanly nose. First taste is mild and easy, friendly bubblegum and banana and its not in yer face. Too many domestic samples are over the top in the clove gum nanna thing. This is just pretty good balanced stuff. Good level of co2 also. I am really liking this hefe, its got to be one of the better hefes I've had, quite enjoyable. Nice stuff you got here old hick. Good drink after a hard day work.

12oz bottle. Visually pretty weak for the style, looks filtered. I get some banana in the flavor, but minimal to no clove. Overall an unimpressive, shabby offering for a relatively easy style. Drinks a little awkwardly heavy, malty for the low ABV. Really weak mouthfeel, yeast tone. Drinkable but not good by any means.

Not a noticeable aroma. Clear yellow color. Taste is sweet wheat, slight banana bread, but with a crisp finish like a lager.

Tap at Borefts 2019. Poured a hazy golden straw colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty banana, light citrus. The flavour is light acid citrus with, a fresh, crisp, light fruity, light clove sour palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Awesome.

Tap. Hazy golden color with white head. Aroma is wheat, mineraly, not much banana or yeast spiciness. Taste is wheat, mineraly, almost a bit chalky. Mineraly mouthfeel with sparkly carbonation. Not a great Hefeweizen in character, though it is very clean.
