This one is interesting -
Has the eyes/nose of a typical wit, spicy/wheat nose. Pours yellow-brown with a frothy white head. Up front the taste is wheat/clove with a nice bite from the carbonation, and then the yeast hits you. It is unlike any yeast I've tasted in a wit or hefeweizen, but more so in other Belgian ales, and I mean this in the best way possible. Very complex and fruity yeast notes that steal the show from everything else, nice surprise. Well done, love that you can find this one in every grocery store in Tel Aviv.

Review: 33cl bottle of Alexander Hita Yisra’elit: 5.0% vol.
Coming in an interesting bottle, with some Hebrew that looks unpronounceable to me, its not immediately clear what’s the name of this beer, but I picked it as I wanted to try a beer from Israel, a new nation on the list for me.
I do see the word Alexander, which I guessed at the time was the name of the brewery, and there is also the point that this is an “Israeli boutique brewery”, and that this beer is “a non conventional wheat beer”, which sounds dead exciting.
There is a nice logo of a flying turtle, which is a bit strange, but looks cool! And wheat fields with pretty flowers on show at the front, all very nice and colourful.
On pour got a very nice frothy white head, very good, and a yellowish golden colour. A decent appearance. Head maintained very well and stuck around, standing tall in this good looking brew. Looks the business. Some lacing present.
Yes got the usual Hefeweizen aroma, wheaty for sure, the cloves, the spices, the fruits, the malts, all present. Typical of the style but a very, very nice beer on the nose.
The taste is not bad, get a full mouthful of the wheat, Israeli wheat at that, very nice. Like a typical Hefeweizen, fruity and spicy, wheaty, coriander, cloves, all nicely balanced, nothing out of joint.
The wheaty taste dies down a bit the more you get into the beer, but its fine to drink. I think perhaps a regular Hefeweizen drinker might be a tad disappointed but for me its fine.
I would class it as safe, not daring, doesn’t want to disappoint. All the typical Hefeweizen tastes here but nothing strong enough to make an impression.
All in the front, hits you right from the start, and it isn’t bad, but overall its just too light, especially for the style. But for me it was overall ok, pleasant enough and I might try again.

I’ll admit I was guessing which beer I was getting when I bought it. I’ve since looked up the bottle on the brewer’s website.
Hazy, darker gold color. The head is a bit small for a wheat, but it does last. Some spots for lace.
The wheat is present but subtle. I do not smell any Belgian yeast to fit the Belgian Witbier cagtegory.
The flavor is more true to style with a definitive clove taste in the swallow. The body is appropriate with an elevated carbonation level. The wheat flavor is present throughout the tasting.
