KnutAlbert (4587) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 21, 2008
Cloudy gold. Well blanaced - sweet fruit as well as citrus. Perfect for a sumemr evning, more like a wheat hefe than a gloden ale?

onlyrocknroll (367) - Antwerp, BELGIUM - APR 8, 2008
Slightly hazy, dark yellow/light amber with a big well sustained head. Estery, light citric aroma. Wheaty, banana, estery flavours. Long malty finish. I agree with the Iarsga, this must be a wheat beer.

TimE (2065) - Tokyo, JAPAN - MAR 24, 2008
My notes are crap on this, expect, blonde, wheaty, sour and very malty. Don’t really remember drinking it, so that says alot.
