Light straw colour with a decent head of foam. Not very hazy for a Hefeweizen though. Smell of banana and cloves, as expected, but it could have been more intense. Same goes for the taste: the malt, the yeast, the banana, the cloves, the lemon, it's all there, but it could have been more pronounced. Balance is fine though. A bit too light bodied and not as smooth as I prefer my Hefeweizens. Quences the thirst on a hot summer's eve, but can't compete with stuff like Weihenstephaner, Paulaner and Schneider. Alas, cause breweries like this get my sympathy vote.

0.5l bottle, drink by date: 10 November 2009. Pours a cloudy orange-yellow color with a decent, but quickly diminishing frothy white head, good lacing. Aroma is mainly yeast, bread, wheat, and a touch of citrus. Flavor is light bananas, wheat, and like the aroma a good amount of yeast. Mouthfeel is kind of light, fairly active, a little watery compared to other hefes. Very drinkable beer, pretty good for the style.

Bought when in date, forgot to drink it before 12th August 2007. Drank today, 11th September 2007.

Poured into one of my Franziskaner Weissbier glasses.

Looks a true old style Weizen, really cloudy with that orange-cum-grapefruit-lemony-yellow colour. A fine well formed foaming head above.

I thought I remembered a powerful banana and vanilla aroma from my draught one at the brewery, this bottle did not have the same richness to it. Yeast was the main aroma at first, then the aforementioned smells began to assert themselves.

A throw back in time, this is a wiezen with all the old attributes, the taste is sharp, refreshing and has a tartiness the mass produced ones don't seem to have. I have had a fair few in my time, so I like to think I know what I am on about.

Good retension of flavours, this is a well brewed beer, the brewer got this just about perfect.

As above, a very good example of a weizen, I will be having this again, hopefully in date and draught at the brewery.
