(bottle) Hazy, amber colour with a massive beige foamy head. Dusty, slightly sweet toasty nose with a restrained fruit- and wheat-character, but quite strong phenolic clovy notes. Light sweet and slightly sour flavour, light bodied with a fizzy carbonation. Moderately toasty malty taste, slightly wheaty and fruity; fizzy and clovy finish.

It’s dark brown with a creamy head and the aroma has notes of yeast, banana juice and caramel. The sweet flavor has the same notes - only with a little less banana juice. The finish is slightly dry and spicy.

Draught at their brewpub in Muhlhausen. Clowdy beer with color like coca cola. Small banana aroma that also is present in the taste. Miss some wheat maltiness.

Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Hazy amber coloured, medium-sized fluffy off-white head, slowly diminishing, sourish-wheaty and shy dark-malty nose - with the faintest touch of roasted malt; moderate sweetish flavour, light bodied; becomes a bit more aromatic in the sourish, malty and roast-malty finish. Not really bland, but a bit boring..........
