Bottle, bought @ Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg.
Pours a wonderful, muddy, pale yellow. A big, frothy off white head. Acceptable lacing. Sweet aroma, lots of banana, oranges and cloves. Wheat is very apparent as well. Very creamy mouthfeel with a lively mouthfeel. Flavour is mild, lightly vinious, rather sweet. Lots of fruity wheat. Banana, lemons, oranges and light spiciness. Really wonderful and refreshing.

(Tap @ Mallaskukko, Turku) Hazy yellow/orange, forms easily an insane head. Very fruity aroma, orange maybe. Crisp flavor... grass, citrus, even salty liquorice, sweet maltiness. Slightly carbonated feel, very very refreshing. Hope to re-taste this in the summer. Excellent.

Bottle 0,33l. Pale golden colored. Unclear. A large white head. Strong fruity and citric aroma. (A bit too) sweet flavor.

Bottle shared with Nosiriwont. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a big fairly well lasting white head. Aroma is sweet with lots of wheat, yeast and some banana. Good mouthfeel. Sofft and fresh wheat flavour with yeast, some sweetness, yeast and some banana. Good well lasting wheat finish.

Bottle - Beautiful a little to unclear body with an elegant creamy head; Slightly fruity round a little to straight forward nose with a few well hidden nuances; The body is initially very round , a little fatty with a slightly acidy touch; It moves smoothly into a little to discrete finish with lots of aromas, balanced and complex. Well made, true German beer!

Pours a hazy amber with a white, rocky head. Very sweet with aormas of banana and cereals. Hint of bread too. Full bodied. Soft carbonation. The finish is sweet, with some bitterness and a hint of bread. I like most of it apart form the finish.

0.5L on draft at Ayinger’s Speis und Trank during 2007 Oktoberfest in Munich When you’re tired of the tents and fairgrounds of Oktoberfest and want to sit and savor some of the greatest liquids on God’s green Earth, walk through the Marienplatz and head to Speis und Trank. This beer was 0.5L of heaven in a glass. Truly a memorable dark wheat offering from one of the best brewers you’ll find (in my humble opinion, obviously). Wonderful clove aromas augment a beautiful malt flavor that just seduces the front of your taste buds. I believe that this beer went into a wooden barrel less than 24 hours before I drank it. The freshness was that apparent. This is a near-perfect brew, one that did not disappoint my lofty expectations for Ayinger. On par for this style in quality as is Ayinger’s Celebrator for the doppelbock style. Damn fine.

330ml bottle bought at the Brauereigastof in Aying in June 07 and enjoyed at home in Tromsø from an original Ayinger glass. Served slightly chilled. Hazy, pale orange body supported by a creamy, white head, slowly fading. Enjoying aroma of overripe banana blend with clove. Balanced taste of sweet sappy and acidulous fruits. Wheaty freshness is also noticeable. Moderate yeasty ending. More weizen than bock, but still very pleasant to drink (Tromsø, 08.09.2007).

Nice tasting, solidly crafted beer. Not as yeasty as most others of the style, noticeable but not overwhelming spice which matches nicely with the more laid back style. Balanced hops with the slightly sweet malt taste. Good overall effort. Available locally as individual oversized 500ml bottles.

Bottled. An unclear orange beer with a big but collapsing white head. The aroma is wheaty and has notes of banana. Not enough "bocky" taste for a Weizen Bock but quite sweet with banana and cloves notes. Medium to full body, quite long aftertaste. A nice beer.
