330 ml bottle with a 25 May 2021 BB date stamp on the label.
Pours with a lightly hazy amber body that has a tall, semi-durable white head.
Aroma. Wheat with light spicing and fruity notes.
Flavor. Wheat, light banana and light spicing.
Feel. Medium body with high carbonation that's a touch too lively.

A nice Hefeweizen at a great price. Looks like orange-gold, retains a creamy head well with good lacing. Has a nice clove, meets banana, meets butterscotch note, good hop notes, balanced with very good malt notes. Aldi is the main outlet for it in the USA, I very rarely see it offered. when I do, I buy it. And usually a case or whatever is left. I enjoy it when I can get it, always sad when it's gone. Overall rated as a 4. At $6.99 a six pack in Tennessee, a solid buy when you want a Hefeweizen. And you should buy it when you see it if you like the style.

The beer is a nice, hazy orange-gold with a creamy head that retains well throughout.
Smells of banana, orange, and slightly grassy.
The taste is a great balance of bready notes, banana, a hint of spice, and has just a slight, refreshing bite to it.
The mouthfeel is excellently smooth and creamy.
I could easily knock back a couple more of these with no trouble.

Pours a hazy Orange with a big, fluffy, white head.
Wonderful orange, banana, malt smell.
The banana and vanilla really comes out in this one, Good breadiness and clove. Not big on other spices.
Good, creamy mouthfeel.
A very good Hefeweizen.

Cerveza con una cabeza cremosa duradera; de cuerpo y carbonatación media. Aroma a trigo, especias y cítricos. En boca me resulta refrescante, destacando nuevamente el trigo pero con un equilibrio gracias al clavo de olor.

I was stationed in Germany back in the late 70's. I lived in Giessen, not too far from Lich. Drank Licher all the time and was amazed by how much better than American beer this was at the time.
Now, I am lucky to find this at Aldi from time to time. When I do, I usually buy all they have in one go.
Just to be greedy.
It brings back fond memories of comradeship and being part of a team. I am still a team player, but I am a greedy team player when it comes to finding a case of Licher at Aldi!
What can I say about Licher Hefe?
It smells like summer in the evening.
It tastes like Summer in the middle of the day.
It has a feel of nostalgia, it reminds me of being 18 again and living in Germany!

L - Classic look of a Weissbier, with a beautiful strong golden, amber tone. What I did not like is the soapy foam. I expected a creamy head.
S - Banana, bread, cloves, hops, in perfect balance. Nothing stands out in a bad way.
T - Great balance between banana and clove notes, nutty malts and the hops' bitterness.
F - The head again felt soapy, not creamy. Nice carbonation with tiny tiny bubbles that add just the right crisp to the medium body of the beer.

Overall a good Weissbier that I will buy again. However, there are other which I prefer above this one.

11.2oz bottle. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden color with a large, white head of foam. It smelled of banana, clove, wheat and yeast. Nice banana notes with sweet wheat and a yeasty spiciness.

Pours a hazy orange color with a medium top of creamy white head and some nice lacings on the glass.
Aroma is strong and like a classic hefeweizen with banan,wheat,cloves and other spices. The flavour is sweet and fruity in the start with some wheat notes in the back and some strong spicy feel from the cloves and some other things.The finish is slightly dry with notes from spices, and the aftertaste has a decent length on it.The flavour is good, but it does,nt have that extra to make it stand out from other of it,s style. Mouthfeel is crisp and smooth and it goes down really easy. Medium carbonated with a strong body.
All in all it,s a good and refreshing hefeweizen that i sure could drink again.
