swing top bottle 500ml.-Nice murky pale amber coloured, medium sized off-white head, odd fruity nose with notes of tomato. Sweet malty, fruity and yeasty with mild wheaty and spicy notes. Slightly acidic finish. Pretty ordinary weizen, expected better.

Tap @ Bier Hannes Brewpub. Cloudy medium brown with a big foamy head. Mild clove banana aroma. Spicy dry biscuit banana clove flavour. Slightly sour aftertaste. Average Hefe.

My Bottom Line :
This dry, bubbly and metallic Hefeweizen misses the mark for me due to the harshness of its mineral flavors, and the poorly-developed yeast character.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A creamy sheet of foam saves the dull cloudy amber.
-Clove phenols peer through the aggressive minerals. Hard water or old, unkempt piping? In any case, metals are fun to my palate.
-Herbal hop bitterness clashes with the metallic dust in the finish.
-This is still drinkable to a certain level, mostly due to its dryness and effervescence, but smoothness and cleanliness would add a great deal to the enjoyment to be had.

On tap at the brewery restaurant.

Modriger, wenig malzig-herber Antrunk. Etwas herb-bitter im Mittelteil, kein bisschen hefig. Sauer im Abgang. Ein eher misslungenes Weizen.. Danke an Erzengel. Test vom 28.12.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 8,4,6,5,9,5 - 5,50

On tap at the brewpub in Frankfurt, Germany. Pours a draker hazy gold color with a lasting foamy head. Aroma is malt, hefe unripe bananas, and lots of very dry cloves. Taste is dry bananas, dry cloves and little sweetness. Palate is dry and slightly bitter. For my taste this hefe is too dry but still good.

Pours murky amber with big foamy white head staying there until the finish leaving nice lacing. Lovely malty, piney, smokey and yeasty aroma with notes of herbs and fruityness. Flavor is slightly smokey and malty, fruity apricots, apples and bananas, yeasty. Well carbonated it gives that wonderfull acidy crisp mouthfeel. Acidy crisp fruity palate. Finishes first with à short perryness turning into shortlived tart bitter aftertaste.

(draught at the Biergarten of the brewery) Cloudy, deep golden to amber colour with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet and minimal acidic wheaty and yeasty nose with a tinge of citrus an notes of cloves. Bitter and slightly tart flavour, almost medium bodied with a creamy, not to say flat carbonation. Yeasty and moderately wheaty, subtle grainy taste with restrained fruity notes and rising clovy spices towards the short finish. Mediocre and pretty unconvincing Weizen (05.VIII.09).

[Hannes Weizen] Cloudy orange-golden color. Average aroma, sweetish, hay, fruits (light pumpkin, peach). Round mouthfeel, pretty sweet, good malt, with a nice spicy note in the background. Bitter and long final. The most original of the beers I had in Frankfurt, a pleasant surprise.
