Our golden-yellow wheat beer, with its fine-poured white foam, smells of cloves and impresses consumers with its refreshing banana flavour. It is full bodied and with a smooth yeast taste. To be enjoyed at any time,goes excellently with fish and seafood, with spicy cheese and especially with the traditional Bavarian veal sausage. Brewed according to our centuries-old brewing tradition on the Weihenstephan hill.

What a beer, pours extremely smoothly, with a pleasant amber color. Goes down as smooth as anything, with a very lightly fruity profile, but not overshadowed by the cloves at all, phenomenal experience.

Having tasted my way through Austria and Germany on several overseas trips, this widely-available beer is as close as it gets to perfection for the style. An outstanding beer with wonderful honey notes in addition to a perfect blend of the usual banana, clove, etcetera. What a miracle that I can find this in Tucson, Arizona. Some things can't be done any better, and this is one of them.
