Can - reminds me of the old black and white generic "beer" cans from the late 70s. Sour milk, banana, clove and wheat malt aroma. Cloudy orange yellow color with small head. Strong clove wheat malt flavor - light banana. Decent for a canned, generic beer.

The can looks terrible. The beer in the glass is okay. Aroma very intense fruity. Like plum. Flavor the same. Too fruity, finish somehow vapid. Not a good hefeweizen.

Courtesy of Degarth. It pours with a slight haze and is straw mixed with copper in color. It has a thin white head. The aroma is malty sweet then mild vague hoppiness and stewed cabbage. The taste starts with sugar sweet malts. There’s some crisp floral hops and even malts. I also get that mild vegetable note noticed in the nose.

First American rating!

Courtesy Degarth. Canned. Very light yellow body with a small, quickly vanishing white head. Nose of wheat, grass, earthy notes, grains and malts. Flavor much the same, very muted however. Light bodied, bland palate. Finish is wheaty and medium length, along with some grains and malts. Forgettable but not offensive.

Can. Hazy yellow colour with a medium creamy head. Like a real hefeweizen, just less powerful.

Can. Creamy white excellent mostly lasting head. Yellow caloudy colour. Light hopy powerfull yeasty aorma. Light bitter flavor. Nice hefe/bitter finish. Oily palate. This is a very good beer because it is value for money.

500ml can: poured hazy yellow orange with a big white head. Slight banana aroma and a little pepper. Flavor is a little weak with some banana and pepper. This is at room teperature so it should be a little colder. Not a bad beer at all but not a great hefe for sure.

Can. Aroma has citrus and artificial raspberry. Banana flavor, again with the raspberry sweets, with hints of skimmed milk. Short aftertaste.

Orange can, 5.0%. Weak banana aroma. Hazy yellow colour, very unstable head. Banana flavour, a bit old-tasting, even though it is not past BB date.Thin mouthfeel, acidic finish. Cheap Weizen.

Big white head; hazy orange body. Acidic, wheaty, peppery aroma with light citric notes. Taste is citric, milky wheat with yeasty, dusty notes. Dusty, powdery mouthfeel. Faintly dry aftertaste. Some spice as well. A decent weizen, but nothing special. (0.5l can.)
