Thoughts: When it comes to hefeweizen there is one country that stands above the rest. Way above the rest. That country would be the home of Ze Germans. They make ze bezt hefeweizens in ze worldz. But you say "Kyle, present your evidence for this outrageous claim!" I say "Here you go Mother Flippers, Tucher!" Bam! Roasted! This German Hefe pours a cloudy pale gold with a massive fluffy head. The aroma is that of banana, clove and a bright citrus smell. It is a full-bodied brew with the perfect amount of carbonation. This beer tastes like a little slice of heaven's clouds. It is sweet, filled with yeast and an appropriate spiciness that balances out the beer nicely. All kidding aside, Hefeweizens are to Germany as berets are to France or spray tans are to New Jersey. They just know how to do it right. And Tucher is a prime evidence of a really good, traditional Bavarian Hefeweizen.
Rating: 87/100
