on tap in vohenstrauss and served in a kellerbier style ceramic mug with a lid on it and, as i learned to my horror halfway through the beer, a slice of lemon floating just under the giant head. aroma of nutmeg and pepper and banana gelato. some sweet banana nectar flavours with a little hallertau kellerbier passionfruit pip in the finish. some wheat sourness, pretty interesting stuff

Wenig herber, recht hefiger Antrunk, die Aromen wirken ziemlich dicht, wodurch das Bier bereits im Antrunk intensiv wirkt. Im Mittelteil flacht dies aber schon wieder ab, eine wässrige Herbe ist nun, zusammen mit einer leichten Säuerlichkeit, vorherrschend. Die Hefe ist noch die Basis, wirkt aber in Teilen schwach. Besonders zum Ende, in dem die Hefigkeit alleine steht, mangelt es an Intensität. Hier unterstützt das Malz nur wenig, eine leichte, aber wirklich nur elichte Muffigkeit setzt ein. 11/10/11/10//10

5l mini cask, bought at the brewpub. Cloudy pale yellow colour with a large and creamy white head. Interesting aroma of wheat and wild yeasts, the aroma storngly reminds me of Gueuze-Lambic. The first thing I notice is the pleasant mouthfeel. Unlike many beers of the style, this is not overly carbonated which results in a smooth and velvety palate. Wheaty flavours dominate with an initial fruityness (banana). Slightly sour and erthy hints also tune in, again I am reminded of wild yeasts and Gueuze beers. Earthy-dusty hop flavours beldn in for a lingering dry finish. A highly unusual and impressively delicious Hefeweizen.

I live not far away from the brewery, and I am brewing weissbier by myself, too, always trying to get close to this weissbier. I never made it. This one has a really unique taste.
