Served at Pilsener Haus Biergarten in Hoboken, NJ.

A: Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a finger tall white head. Head reduces to a thin layer of bubbles across the entire top of the beer after a few minutes. There is some visible carbonation and moderate lacing.

S: Aromas of clove, banana, and apple. The smell is sweet but not cloying.

T: There is a sweetness to the flavor that is rather pleasant and enjoyable - flavors of apple and clove with hints of banana. There is a wheat flavor and no taste of alcohol.

M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and very smooth.

O: Very enjoyable and real easy to drink. Sweetness is not overpowering and the alcohol is well hidden. I have had several half liters and liters of this beer over the early winter and I keep going back for more.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A: The beer is slightly hazy dark yellow in color. It poured with a thin white head that died down very slowly and left a thick ring of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: There are sweet aromas of malts and apples in the nose.
T: Like the smell, the taste is somewhat sweet (but not cloying) and has flavors of apples, bananas, clove and wheat.
M: It feels medium-bodied and smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer goes down very easily because the alcohol is well masked. The fuller-bodied nature of this beer compared to others in the style would make it a good selection to be drinking outside on a chilly spring or autumn day.

look: 4.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5

Poured from growler into weizen glassware

Single finger of pure white head faded to very good lacing.
Light natural carbonation Bright yellow with tint of orange and hazy hue

I am hooked at the nose, huge ripe fruit banana, citrus and clove esters. Taste comes right through with tart and sweet again the ripe fruit banana and citrus. A lot of flavor here nothing like it in this style. Mild pepper and lemon too that are all well balanced

Mouth feel slightly heavier than expected but a good match with the malt and abv

Great mild dry finish

Please bottle this one!

Had on tap at the Birreria in New York. It was dark gold and very hazy with an awesome nose--strong spice, lemon, melon, banana, wheat, all the typical flavors but everything dialed up into a powerful head that sticks with you. I found the taste perfectly balanced between sweet lemon/banana/berry, juicy wheat/bubblegum flavors, and clove/coriander spice. Everything is again, dialed up into a heady concoction. Mouthfeel is quite thick, a little bit sticky, but overall very drinkable. Very fresh-tasting.

Great take on a double Hefeweizen, this is one of my favorite examples I've ever had of the style. All the flavors are in great balance and it's juicy and fresh--no stale banana here.

On tap at the Pilsener Haus in Hoboken.

Did a side to side with a glass of the classic, Weinhenstephener Original. Semi-opaque, dark gold beer with a touch of cloudiness. Darker and less cloudy than the German archetype. Very nice fluffy head with good retention and lacing.

Classic aroma of clove and banana; yeasty and spicy. Right on target.

Taste is full-flavored, following suit of the nose. Lots of clove and coriander; yeasty banana, bubblegum, citrus, sweet maltiness underneath.

A clean crisp finish, medium, slightly creamy body, good carbonation. Oh so drinkable. This one definitely holds its own next to the Original. A bit darker and fuller-bodied perhaps. A truly excellent hefeweizen and a must-try, if you can find it, for the style.

I enjoyed this on tap at Cobblestones

The color is hazy golden with a nice fluffy white cap which has good retention with ultra fine bead. The lace sticks in a sheet. The smell is the usual suspects of banana and clove, but mild apple element and toasted wheat like a gently sweet cereal the alcohol is not apparent even though I noticed the increased abv for the style. The feel is very good, creamy and slightly tangy from the weizen yeast with moderately high carbonation and semi dry finish.

The flavor is moderately sweet grain, wheat is creamy and lightly toasted in taste. The yeast is the main flavor, though with strong banana and mild spice accenting. There is a light hint of hops to accent the malt and yeast which gives the impression of spice or mild herbal flavor. The alcohol is only noticeable near the end of the glass which is nice, it adds a bit of complexity and overall I felt this was a good Hefeweizen with some extra body and was very drinkable -perfect for warm late spring quaffing.

Pours cloudy orange in color with a 1 finger fluffy white head that faded quickly; basically no lacing that slides down the glass fast, like it's in a hurry.

Smells of orange peel, coriander, wheat, yeast, lemon, sweet malt, clove, banana and faint hops.
Nice traditional hefe aroma.

Tastes of yeast, sweet malt, orange peel, coriander, clove, wheat, lemon, banana, grass, hay, bubblegum, light pepper and spices, and faint floral or citrus hops.

Very light and refreshing, this beer has a light mouthfeel with very light carbonation and a light to medium body. High drinkability, this is a very good hefeweizen that goes down easy - based on the taste, this is a new classic for this style.
