Aroma for a hefeweizen the aroma is really small, but the usual culprits are here - the banana, clove, and malts. The appearance is a bit of the norm of hefeweizens with a darker clouded brownish color. The head is originally huge, and then settles down to a wispy white head about a 1/4" inch thick. Flavor is really clean, with an amount of the complimentary aromas. A little too clean, somewhat sweeter than smooth or tart.

Egészen sötét narancssárga színe van ennek sejtelmesen ködös búzasörnek aminek a tetején vastag,kemény és sűrű piszkosfehér hab csücsül,ami nem igazán akar elillanni.Illata enyhén mézes,fűszeres és élesztős.Íze hozza az illat miatt elvártakat,banánosan,szegfűszegesen és enyhén fanyarul és édeskésen.Sűrű teste van és tele van apró csípős buborékokkal.Utóízében feltűnik a komló kellemes kesernyéssége is és hosszan tart.Nagyszerű klasszikus német búza!

Hazy orange, big creamy white head lasts. Aroma of banana, orange peel, clove, dough, yeast. Taste is bready and spice medium sweetness and a slight earthy bitterness and tart. Tingley carbonation.

Pours a cloudy golden with thick white head. Aroma of citrus, banana, clove, yeast, malts, great balance and full aroma for the abv. Similar taste, very crisp and enjoyable. A good hefe is hard to find, it this one found me tonight!

Nice pillowy white head and pretty thick. Very dark gold in color. Deep and dark for a hefe. Notes of wheat, banana, and apple. Pretty good, but hefe’s still aren’t my thing.

Pours a slightly hazy amber body with an off-white head. Aromas of yeast, clove, hint of zest. Flavors of yeast, some banana, clove, little tart. Finish has clove, tart, dry. A long time after the swallow, flavor of bran flakes.

[On tap at Oakford Social Club, Reading] Cloudy deep gold with a negligible head and a slight but prickly fizz. From the off, cloves are the dominant flavour. Some foam banana sweets and fake lemon come through, but the sweetness of these is balanced out by the bitterness of the cloves. More cloves in the finish. It’s a little one dimensional, but it feels good in the mouth and goes down very nicely. Overall it’s a decent enough beer as long as you like cloves, which fortunately I do!
