Frisky hop nose, bland wheat cracker mouthfeel, and berry-spiced complacency initiate unassuming hefeweizen. Dry barley center way too soft and flighty peach-tangerine tang too distant. Drink with a lemon wedge to perk up yeast residue.

AVIATOR HEFE WEIZEN ALE
Huge puffy head, foamy carbolic froth, and cloudy pale appearance form initial impression for weak-bodied yeast-saturated wheat ale. Bursts in the mouth like champagne, then, after a few seconds, leaves only slight bitter grain finish. Nowhere nears as effervescent or strong as more reliable hefeweizens. Brewery defunct: 2002.
FRANZISKANER HEFE-WEISSBIER
Classy amber-clouded half-wheat beer punctuates sweet floral-wafted banana-clove conflux with sourdough yeast vibrancy and creamy vanilla resonance. Peppery hop sharpness awakens tart lemon candied sourness at midst. Nutmeg adjunct provides light holiday ale vestige. An uncomplicated but well defined moderate body.

PYRAMID HEFEWEIZEN ALE
Cloudy yellow-toned ‘wheat-brewed ale with yeast’ works grassy spice-hopped tingle, lemony plantain-clove slither and harvested grain rawness into pale malt residue for delightful initial impression. Plaintive floral wheat waft grafts citric-fizzed finish. Only its green banana reminder provides usual hefeweizen styling. Closer to an American wheat ale.
