1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
From the UK Aldi chain: Arcobrau Weissbier Hell.
500ml bottle, best before 1st March 2013: poured into a Franziskaner Weissbier glass 9th May 2012.
Looks every bit the ideal hefeweizen: cloudy with a deep, full white head: mid-range orange/lemon hue to the colour, just like the best of this style.
Wheat aroma with mild traces of vanilla and banana: I prefer fuller smells in this style of beer.
Refeshing but lacking in flavour: the first sip told me this was a cheap option.
Weak body and taste: below average in all aspects bar the looks.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
500 ml bottle served cold in a chalice. Pours a murky dark yellow with a large off white head. Absolutely typical weissbier aroma and flavour - bananas, cloves and bubble gum. Creamy mouth feel. Distinguished by a slightly drier, spicier finish than some other weissbiers I’ve had. Nice.

It’s unclear golden with a huge, creamy, white head. The aroma is mild but with distinct notes of banana, yeast and wheat. The sweet flavor is packed with banana notes - yummi, I also find yeast and wheat. It’s both mild and very full-bodied at the same time. The finish is slightly dry and spicy.
