How to Correctly Pour a Hefeweizen

I order everything from Northern Brewer and in my experience they have always suggested secondary fermentation, except for a hefeweizen that I have ready to drink.

I assumed this was because hefeweizens were supposed to be cloudy and secondary fermentation tends to reduce cloudiness.

Naturally my bottles have a much larger layer of yeast in them then I have seen from my other beers.

I just poured two bottles into two glasses. The first bottle I poured every last drop. The second bottle I poured until I noticed the yeast about to flow out.

Which is the proper way to pour a hefeweizen?
