Brewed in Old-World Weissbier tradition. Hazy and deep-glowing orange with a soft, pillowy, and cloud-like head. Delicate aromas of cinnamon and clove baked into fresh bread, supported by a nunaced influence of banana.

Munich Weiss pours a copper color, with almost no head. The aroma features banana esters and a meaty note. The flavor is spicy, earthy, with hints of banana, and lots of cloves. Good feel. Overall, a heartier hefeweizen.

From Party Town in a variety pack.
This reminds me of Bernstein-Weizen from Störtebeker.
Beautiful deep golden color. Unfortunately not much head.

That’s a beer. When I think of this style of beer this is what I want. A stunning hazy orange with floating particles. Tastes of orange as well and a little tart that shows up. This is it. This is what I need.

Very good American made hefeweizen....Nice banana and vanilla notes on the nose follows through onto the taste...a touch of lemons as well on the flavor...lighter side of medium bodied...nice carbonation...creamy body....a little bubble gum enters later and now noticing a nice wheaty malt base..a touch of cloves on the finish......Hefe's are my thing and I think this is on the upper level...

What I found so interesting of this hefe was the overall spiciness and mix of citrus flavoring. The smell was muted, mouthfeel was medium-bodied, and it had a unique golden-colored and bright orange hue - it was truly appealing to the eyes. Enjoyed it quite a bit and will gladly try one again...

12oz can poured into a SA perfect pint glass
A- pours a deep orange with a razor thin head that reduces to leave nothing behind
S- plenty of banana and clove initially with a nice undertone of banana bread. White pepper and cinnamon undertone
T- peppery clove and some phenolic notes up front give way to a nice banana note at the mid-palate. The finish gives some bready notes with a hint of cinnamon, tangy toasted wheat on the linger
M- light-medium body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that turns slightly creamy into the finish
O- one of the better American made Hefe's I've had in a while. Full flavored and well balanced

L: Pours a slightly cloudy orange color with a small white head and very little lacing. Rather dark color for this style of beer.
S: Banana and clove are very much in forefront of this aroma, hints of bubblegum. Very potent aroma.
T: Banana, clove and bubblegum are all very strong in the taste, nice esters from the yeast, but the taste is almost a touch too strong on this one.
F: Medium body, carbonation feels slightly off.
O: Usually I really like hefeweizens but this one doesn't necessarily click with me. It's certainly still drinkable though.
