Pours golden straw in the glass. Nose is floral fruits. Low bodied. Taste is lacking. Rated 1/13/2000

Towering, thick & dense yellowish head over fully hazy greenish orange beer. Quite neutral nose for a Weizen, first a bit lactic, then finally banana, and, nonetheless, grassy notes. Refermented with bottom yeast? Sweet-sourish flavour with clove, canned pineapple, solvent and sweet-fruity esters; pretty yeast-intoned. Medium bodied, wheat slickness & yeast-filled. Refreshing. Decent Weizen. Germany remains the only country where the big groups manage to turn out decent beer.

500 ml Bottle. Deep gold, with almost an amber tinge. A tall, fine head. Cloudy. A strong aroma of bananas and cloves fills the room. Very fragrant. Very fruity. Very fruity flavor, slightly sour; very nice and rich, with lots of wheat malt. A bit sweet, but it is well balanced with the sour tinge. Bananas and spice here as well. Full mouth feel. Very good.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a huge, creamy and white head. Classic banana fruity ester aroma. Flavour is medium dry wheaty with a nice and somewhat complex yeasty fruit mix, different esters mixing in and out: banana, citrus and light apple too. Ends smooth and fruit estery.

0.5 l bottle, at 5,5% ABV. Pours murky yellow to light orange body with big white head going down at medium pace. Relatively weak and not rich aroma, yeasty with some orange and banana. Flavor pleasant, but pretty thin and simple, with some light sweetness dominating. Quite lot carbonated. Finish is medium long, following the flavor. Well, the most expensive Hefeweizen I had was so boring and one dimensional for the style...

hazy yellow with fine lasting white head. Oroma of yeast & sweet malts. lively carbonation. taste of fruit (banana) & wheat. Very pleasant & fresh.

Bottle. NIce wheat and banana aroma. Light orange-yellow color with decent head. Sweet banana and wheat flavor. Full bodied. The picture shown is for the dunkelweizen - the Hefeweizen comes with a purple colored label. Has been one of the more consistently good Weizen in my experience

(Bottle 50 cl) Comes in a pretty swing-top bottle. Immensely, classical Babarian Hefeweizen. Hazy, golden with soft wheaty touches and a fresh citrusy adge. 120100

It’s the second best out of the four Hefes I tried. Well, obviously I haven’t tried many, but I still like the style. This one had the usual cloudy orange going yellow look, with suprisingly lively carbonation in the start, which subsided soon, and with a small white head. The lemon and cloves are dominant in the nose, and lemon continues to be the predominant taste, with some restrained cloves and banana. It’s sour, but acceptably so. And very refreshing. I think it’s bottle conditioned, and had quite a lot of "muck" in the bottom. The bottle had the resealable cork. Not ceramic as in Wieselburger Stämbrau, but it’s as useful as all corks of that kind are. I noted two interesting facts on the label. First, it says it was brewed by their new technology called Ice-Rifing (I have absolutely no idea what that means). And second, it says that it’s brewed by Allgäuer Brauhaus AG, Kempten, Germany. So, has that Marktoberdorf brewery been bought by Allgäuer Brauhaus, or is it brewed under license, or is it simply a case of name change and relocation.
