This bold, yeast-forward wheat beer, the Great Central Hefeweizen, is the summer breeze of beers, any time of year. The aromas of banana and clove will take you straight to that delicious, sunny feeling at the crack of the can. It’s like a block party in a can. And you’re all invited.

16oz can. Mandarina takes it in a slightly modern, fruity direction. Still has some nice banana, less clove. The more I drink it, the further it gets from a traditional Hefe. Perfume-ish big mandarin notes, almost landing in candy strawberry. Different. OK.

355ml can via Beer52, drank at home on 18th March 2022. Misty translucent yellow body, white topping. Mild banana and cloves in the nose and taste, wheat first and foremost though, there is also a citrussy undertone, but it's fine, if a little off the true style.

Cans sent by Great Central for comment. Pours a big, thick white head over a pale yellow body, just a little less haze than normal. Light weizen nose, not much banana, but more wheat spice and a little malt. Taste is light, not as overpowering as some hefes go. Makes this more of a summer beer, but here we are in December. Does get a bit filling despite its apparent lightness.
