Pre-Great Taste sampling at 1FastSti’s house
This was opened early on in the night. I believe StewartOfGondor brought it
though I lost track of who brought what by the end of the night. It was a
nice way to kick off the night; thoroughly enjoyable and it would be quite
simple to down litres of it at the monastery. The Germans really know how to
make good beer.
Aroma / Appearance - The nose is solid but not complex. I was able to
pick up hints of banana, honeycomb, white bread and a trace of limes. The
body was mostly clear with a golden tint and carbonation percalating to the
top at a nice pace.
Flavor / Palate - The first sip was almost like drinking liquified
Wonderbread. Soon though it unfolds into a mashup of banana, vanilla ice
cream and boston cream pie. The finish is slightly dry with a light hoppy
aftertaste. This would be a great session beer for a warm summer day if you
could actually get it locally.

Sep 9, 2008 Bottled. Cloudy orange coloured, lasting head. Fruity nose, more citrus than banana, some spices. Sweet fruity flavour. For a Hefeweizen thin one leans a bit towards a Witbier. Nice, but not outstanding.

Aug 8, 2008 (6/19/08) Bottle at Aufsturz in Berlin. Cloudy yellow-orange color with a slowly-diminishing big white head. Aroma of wheat, some banana and some spiciness. Sweet fruity flavor with banana notes. Medium-bodied. A very nice Weizen on the sweeter side.

Aug 7, 2008 Draft at Andechser am Dom. Murky gold with a big white head. Big banana and bubblegummy nose, yeasty and citrusy. Orange flavors really come to the fore in the flavor, balancing perfectly with the other components. Excellent!
