Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has a copper/orange color with a 1 inch head. Smell is mild, bananas, pink bubble gum. Taste is the same as the aroma but more pronounced, some wheat is present. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall not bad, but based on the score here I was disappointed with this beer.

by Mindcrime1000 from South Dakota
Poured from a pint can into a weizen glass.
Pours a hazy deep gold (but not amber) with an excellent two-fingered head that is a little more creamy than rocky, and that's fine. It lingers well and gives way to excellent lacing. Pretty in the glass for sure.
Excellent aromas of banana, clove, white grape, granny smith apple, mild yeast, faint grassy hops.
Sweet on the tip of the tongue, with bubblegum and banana, but spicy yeast quickly joins in midstream, along with cloves and allspice. Tart wheat offsets the sweetness quite well, manifesting in mild citrus and tart apple. Very substle hops. The finish is almost warming in spice, with a bit of warmth lingering on the lips. Very well balanced between the mild sweetness and the complex tartness.
A little creamier than anticipated, the brew is more of a smooth finisher than a lively crisp one, but it's still drying, if not crisp, owing to some sneaky carbonation.
There are others of the style that are better, but this one is unique yet hews closely to the hallmarks of the style. The creamy finish and warming spice make it a treat.

L- Deep amber, slightly cloudy, pours with 2mm white head (holds well).
S- Notably fruity, for a moment I'm reminded of the boiled sweets called 'Pear Drops' and bananas.
T- The Smell^ carries over, a rounded fruit note, hints of banana, then a hoppy dry note veers in, and into a dry/CO2 note at the finish. < Those are the distinctive taste notes, on top of the more generic weissbier characteristics.
F- Certainly a 2-in-1 here, at first it starts off on the richer side, then swiftly flips to hoppy/dry+CO2. This happens on each of my first several mouthfuls.
O- A Weissbier profile but with distinctly prominent fruit/banana notes - I am sure you could ID this from a random line up of 10 or even 20 world beers/styles without *any* problem. Whether that works for you is another matter. I've enjoyed trying it but the banana note might get a bit worn out after say one more, and IMO it's too different/distinctive to be sessionable. Certainly something different though!
£2.16/500ml flip-top bottle with ceramic stopper. BB: 08/01/2021 Bought from BeersOfEurope/UK for home delivery.

by TheBricenator from Oregon
Look: Orange leaning to amber in color, cloudy/murky, and the pour brings on a good head that recedes quickly leaving great lacing
Aroma: Clove, wheat bread, and banana intermixed. Some fruity esters emerge as well
Taste: Huge clove up front, then in floods a combo of warm wheat bread and banana – like a wheat-based banana bread. Some bubblegum comes and goes as well
Mouthfeel: Big and chewy but not overwhelming on the palate. Light to medium carbonation and a super soft finish
Overall: I’m digging this one. The huge amounts of flavor that the yeast brings just screams Weissbier (as opposed to a more approachable ‘wheat ale’) and that is exactly what I wanted when I grabbed this one. Tasty stuff and a great warm weather companion

50cl bottle from Beers of Europe website (£2.59):
Slightly murky amber with a very foamy & thick, 3cm head with great retention. The nose is faintly sweet with bananas, pale malts, faint bubblegum & a little wheat to finish. Its a similar taste with bubblegum, wheat & a faint bitterness in the background. There's a little clove & bread malts too but it's well balanced with strong, fine carbonation & a medium body. It's not quite as sweet as normal for the style with more of a subtle bitterness but it was pleasant & drinkable throughout.

I like the can artwork, it's classy. The pour is orange. The taste is some cloves & banana bread, it's a smooth & easy drinking Weissbier but the flavors are a little dull & it sort of has cardboard type of taste towards the finish. My reviews are based on beers that I had from a 5 liter mini keg & a pint size can. Cheers! B

When I saw this hard to find hefeweizen in a 5L mini-keg I had to try it. Loads of banana with less pronounced clove, very cloudy with huge amount of yeast sludge in the bottom of the can which can be resuspended with effort. Less watery than the other commonly available examples, this is one of the best German hefeweizen available in the US.

Standard hefeweizen, much more on the clove and banana side of the spectrum. Has that bubblegum wheat and bright malt work to support. Kind of dry in the feel with abruptly crisp aftertaste.
