This American version of a traditional Bavarian wheat beer is pale gold in color, flavorful and very enjoyable. Two row malted barley and malted wheat give it a crisp but layered maltiness with a light sweetness. Hand selected Spalt Spalter hops impart a bright finish and Bavarian yeast adds a special spiciness. Cheers! Jim Koch

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Found this in a drugstore on Manhattan only later to experience that it was at least 18 months past it’s best of date. Presumably this does not affect the flavours which I found extremely fresh and fruity as in the best German Weissbiers. Orangey almost amber in colour with a decent if not exactly overwhelming head. Excellent.

An unclear orang beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is very sweet - with non of the sourness that German hefeweizen usually have. The flavor is sweet, wheaty and malty - and no bitterness. All in all an OK German hefeweizen - but a boring example on my tastebuds.

Very cloudy yellow/golden colour with orange highlights and a thin white head. Very potent medicinal aroma with a slight lemon & malt essence. Light-bodied; Strong sharp flavour with some lemon highlights and a sweet background. Aftertaste shows a light sweetness and a very shallow level of wheat. Overall, decent, not bad for the style at all! I bought this twelve ounce beer at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 2-October-2003.

quite spicy and malty, great if thats your thing. havent tried too many weiss beers so i wont say much more. in a general sense, it was ok, too sweet though. with no nice subtle complexities. Like an American influenced ur-weizen. Fairly clear and light yellow, good white head.

Confusing description: given a German name, made with Bavarian yeast, but otherwise called an American version. Pale yellow-gold color, moderately cloudy, with med quickly fading head. Aroma is mild, with some clove and spicy hop notes, and maybe only the slightest hint of banana. Flavor is mild, slightly tangy. Slightly zesty, moderate clove notes, but otherwise clean and light. Strange, bitter almost astringent chemically aftertaste that lingered for a long time. Addendum: I tried this in a different glass and it became a different animal altogether, more yeast effects, and cleaner finish. Good example of the right glass for the right beer (btw, I had used a chalice for the first tasting, and a tall glass for the second).
