Draught at Papperla Pub, Haus der 150 Biere, Würzburg, as Hausbrau Hefe Hell
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is mild, but the flavor is much better indeed: a good combination of sweetness, wheat, banana and some spices. Ordinary bitterness. Very drinkable and fresh.

(bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with a fluffy foamy white head. Dusty, chalky, light-sweet, slightly wheaty aroma with a light fruit-character (citrus, shy banana) and a touch of clovy phenols. Sweet and moderate sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Moderate wheaty, yeasty and fruity taste; slightly acidic and restrained fruity, yeasty bitter finish. Okay.

Bottle. Sweet banana/apricot aroma. Tan yellow color - way too clear for a Hefe. Flavor very spicy (cloves) with balanced banana flavor. Fairy bitter hops finish. Well-made weizen.

Strong pear aroma. Hazy, honey color, white head, few lace. Light sweet, some banana, light body. Medium long finish. Could certainly use some extra body and flavors but not bad.
