I tasted a bottle of Heidelberger hefeweizen Hell on 27th Oct 2008, the "best by" date was 12.10.08, so technically this bottle was just past it's best.

It poured a very cloudy orange brown brew with a short-lived white head.

Aroma was subdued hefe aroma; very little banana, some citrus, not much spiciness noted.

The taste was not too bad, but was really a way short of being a nice hefe. There was a thinnish (diluted) feel to this brew; not much substance and I would find it hard to believe that it might be much better if the bottle was fresher.

The appearence deteriorated over the course of the drinking to give a 'flat soupy' appearence.
Disappointing.
