Tucher Helles Hefe Weizen
Brauerei Tucher Brau

A: Pours a little clearer than expected. With just a touch of haze, a golden/yellow color. An ever lasting airy white head forms. As that slowly recedes, light lace is left behind.
S: Banana esters, and a doughy/yeast aroma. Clove and spice. Simple, but spot on and enjoyable for the style.
T: Oh, big banana esters up front, even some pear skins. Doughy banana bread, with spicy clove. A touch of some grains, a touch honey like sweetness. All around really enjoyable.
M/O: A light to medium body. Moderate carbonation, leads to this being ultra smooth. Very much moreish, and something I can down in big gulps.

Pretty much a spot on example of a Hefeweizen. I will be looking to get more of this soon. Well done, and very much recommended from me.

Half liter can poured into a weizen glass. Pour is hazy golden yet slightly more clear than many of the style. Offers up a nice cap of whitish foam.

Aroma is classic to the style with a nice wheat and yeast presence. Not quite as intriguing as a few stalwarts such as Weihenstephaner but very pleasant. Taste follows in the 'slightly light' department with some light sweetness and banana notes. Feel continues in that realm, a bit thin vs. many yet a bit more approachable at the same time. Overall seems like half Hefe and half Krystal in a sense. Not so robust in character yet more drinkable by way of it.

Hazy, yellow color. Big, white head. Wheat malt, banana, clove, and yeasts are in the aroma. Yeasty, sweet taste with slight tartness. Classic German hefeweizen.

 

Hazy golden pour, 2 fingers tight packed meringue atop. Nose is banana and clove.

Taste offers fresh banana, bready, cloves, little cardomon, light kilned malt. Light mouthfeel. Finish is just more if that yeasty banana bread thing

It ticks most of the squares except being more diluted or not so full feel that you expect in Hefeweitzen.
