Il colore non è quello tipico di una weiss, ma è comunque abbastanza caratteristico, con il suo arancio carico dai riflessi ramati, un corpo particolarmente torbido tale da rendere il processo di fermentazione interna, comunque moderata, appena visibile. La schiuma è alta, compatta e pannosa, dal colore bianco sporco e dalla media persistenza. In fase di riposo, tende ovviamente ad assottigliarsi, acquistando però una maggiore morbidezza. L’aroma è fresco, sulle note del lievito che è immediatamente percettibile, lasciando spazio ad un leggero sentore alcolico, abbastanza contrastante. Sono presenti inoltre note fruttate, dall’odore misto dolce/frizzante, agrumato. Infine, appare una punta olfattiva di coriandolo. Sotto il profilo del gusto, si evidenzia un corpo pieno e mediamente rotondo, morbido all’imbocco, fruttato e lievemente frizzantino. Gusto squilibrato ampiamente verso note dolciastre, dal veloce passaggio, eccezion fatta per un leggero pizzicorio a livello palatale in punta. Scarsa persistenza amarostica.

Orange hue and cloudy with a modest size bubbly head and lots of lacing. Weak aroma of hay or wheat. The fizziness is surprising. Taste is highly acidic but can’t be tied to a distinct citrus fruit while also having some hay or barnyard flavors. Like lemongrass but full and sweet with a sour finish.

Nov 2012 - cask. A lot of lager qualities about it. Some wheat and spice. Overall I wasn’t fussed about it. Poor in the context of other German wheat beers I’ve had.

Dark hazy orange body and white head. malty, some clove and citrus with little banana and coriander aroma. some honey and grainy taste. Fizzy, A common wheat beer.

Bottle @ home picked up at Supermarket Fort Collins. I was hoping to try this one in Ettal, but actually didn’t make it to Ettal my last trip and never saw this one in the supermarkets. To my great surprise, it showed up at Supermarket Liquor in Fort Collins on sale @ $1.29. Kind of makes me a nervous anytime I see a fire sale on German beer at a liquor store in Colorado, but what the hell. Pours a cloudy, actually quite dark orange appearance with a cream colored head. Spicy, bready yeasty, big clove, a bit minty aroma. Body is a bit thin. Fairly citrus forward, a bit spicy, thin bodied, wheat flavor. Bland, not very fun to drink, particularly old, butt fuck it, just looking to catch a buzz tonight. Cheers!

50cl bottle, 1.45€. Cloudy dark orange beer, big offwhite head. Light wheat & fruit nose. Aroma of light banana & fruits but missing the citrusy tones, more sugary (cane sugar) than others maybe a feel of caramel. Yeasty as expected probably has some starch too. Taste is moderately sweet and the hoppy balance is not so prominent. Finish is flat. Body is medium, watery to creamy texture. Carbonation amazingly soft for the style. Not aromatic or tasty as others, overall weak, but it’s smooth as silk and very easy to drink.

Bottle. Pours cloudy golden with an off-white head. Aroma of bubblegum, toffee, wheat and some banana. Flavor is sweet and malty with some toffe and caramel with some fruitiness. Medium body, average carbonation.

From Liva. Bottled, 091212. Hazy yellow with white head. Aroma of banana and cloves. Flavour with wheat and spices.
