[...] This wonderful strong wheat beer convinced even Boak, who is not usually a fan of the style. [...]

I had a feeling there were a few sceptics out there!

I’ve never been much of a fan of wheat beers; the banana, bubble-gum and clove-like flavours just don’t appeal.

There is a time to drink hefewiezens ….. after all the other beers have been drunk.

I’m not a fan of the style particularly but I really do enjoy Franziskaner from time to time when the wheat beer mood takes me.

I thought I knew more people that don’t like German wheat beers than do, especially people who don’t like other beers. Then again they go down pretty well at Leeds Christkindelmarket, so I’m not sure now. They never used to agree with me but the more I try, the more I enjoy. Particularly at the end of summer, start of Autumn.

I am fond of wheat beers, but I prefer them in Summer. Myself, I usually buy Paulaner or Weihenstephaner at Vinmonopolet here in Norway. But my favourite is the Czech hefeweizen from Primator brewery.

My experience is also that many serious beer geeks aren’t very keen on hefeweizens in general. That definitely applies to me. I enjoy the best ones (especially Weihenstephaner and Schneider Weisse), but the rest I’m really not keen on at all. Mostly they are either boring or they have flavours I find mildly off-putting.

I guess I mean lots of beer geeks don’t like them (or at least that’s the impression I have).
