Overall similarity
hopIQ take
Reutberg Weizen if you want bright, snappy wheat character,
Traunstein Weizen if you want softer, more rounded malt.
Both are proper Bavarian hefes at identical strength, but they're brewed differently enough that you'll taste the house styles. Reutberg leans slightly crisper; Traunstein sits easier on the palate. Neither overstays its welcome—pick based on your mood, not the numbers.

Reutberg Weizen
Reutberg hits you with clean banana and clove right away—the yeast character is forward and energetic. There's a wheat flour dryness that keeps it from getting soft, and the finish snaps. It's the kind of weizen that tastes alive in your mouth, not settled. The carbonation supports that brightness; you feel it working.
Traunstein Weizen
Traunstein's weizen is more velvet. The banana is there but smoother, almost creamy, and the clove doesn't announce itself—it whispers. The malt backbone feels slightly thicker, more substantial. Carbonation is gentler. This is a weizen that asks you to sit with it, not race through it. Finishes dry but warm, not sharp.
