Orange colored, medium cloudy appearance. Medium sized vanishing yellow head. Strong, even bitingly sour bananish aroma, yeast and some unclean butter tones also here. Medium bodied. Flavor is also somehow unclean: yeast and butter, this mild sweet banana here too.

<i>Comments:</i> A strange weizen, drier hoppier example despite its sweet start. Floral, clovey and banana-like with cracker-like wheatiness, but just far more bitter than is usual and you never quite understand why.

Hazy dark amber color, small creamy off-white head, lace. Weird aroma of overriped banana and glue. Overriped banana flavor. Sweet weizen with light roasted or dry aftertaste. Not really bad but something is really missing in this one.

Quite a bit of banana and bubblegum in the aroma with very low noble hops and corriander notes. Cloudy, brown-orange with a lasting, bubbly white top. Clove and strawberry come out first in the flavour with lots of mineral water and an overwhelming bitterness. Light body, moderate carbonation, lasting bitterness.
Geiserich (1555), Vienna, Austria
Jul 3, 2006 Draught in the pub: Fresh, light fruity aroma with citrus notes, light malty. Hazy amber color, creamy head. Flavor is light spicy, light fruity with light citrus notes. Yeasty. Astringent, light boring finish. Light bitter dryness in the end. O.K. beer but few wheat character. Unbalanced.
