Commercial Description:
Delicious lemon and vanilla scented wheat beer with yeast. This is an aristocratic beer with a champagne sparkle and a beautifully sustained head. With the pale color of mountain honey and tart refreshing palate, it is a "brut" beer with the delicious, complex fruitiness of extra-dry champagne. Bottle conditioned and top fermented, it is a benchmark for this style of beer. The nose is fruity-spicy, herbaceous with lots of flowers, and fruit. With such a creamy head, you can build miniature mountains that resemble the Alps. Pour slowly, fill the special weissbier glass half full and swirl the bottle on the table to put the yeast in suspension.

Bottle: Cloudy golden in color with aromas of yeast, banana and spice. In the mouth it is medium-bodied, soft and engaging. I must say...with the added lemon (after notes) the palate is brighter, more acidic (duh) and more quaffable on a hot day. While a more serious beer without the lemon, it is easier drinking. which can be a good thing given the circumstances. That said, overall, I prefer Hacker-Pschorr.

Banana, spice and ginger in aroma. Flavor of dryish banana, citrus, grain, spices and ginger. Palate is quite a smooth and easy to drink.

500ml bottle (Mallaskukko, Turku)
Cloudy light orange, small head. Banana aroma, spicy and light. Simple soft light grainy body, and hoppiness in the mouth too, a bit like perfumed soap. Plenty of banana too. Aromatic fruity esters.

Draught at their tap. Distinct banana aroma. Cloudy orange colour. OK white head. Full banana flavour, slightly fat. Hint of citrus in the finish, almost enough to balance it. But a good and flavourful Weizen.

A very wonderful summer drink overall. Very nice looking in the glass, good head, a citrus background taste and an overall light feel to the beer though it is not. Too much fizz for me but I would put this in my personal top 25 for summer beers.

pours a beautifuly cloudy honey color, with a very fluffy white head lemon and wheat scent correcly indicates what you’re about to taste strong yeast and wheat flavor with citrus highlights only downside is that the high carbonation distracts from the quality flavor

Pours with a smallish, white head covering a cloudy, honey body. Aroma is of a clove forward Hefe. Food Lacing. Clove spicey taste with some banana in the background. A bit too fizzy of a mouthfeel.
