Auf der Flasche ist das Brauereigebäude in gelb-orange zu sehen. Das Bier schäumt wie sau, und der Schaum hält gut, der Schaum und das Naturtrübe stehen dem Weizen gut. Es ist sehr fruchtig und etwas hefig. Durch das fruchtig-erfrischende ist es ausserdem sehr Süffig. Mir gefällt es sehr gut ich habe noch nicht viele Weizen getestet, aber dieses ist bisher das beste und kommt auch noch vom Niederrhein. Fazit: Sehr lecker und mit 0,57€/0,5l auch noch günstig. Test vom 11.7.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,12,13,12,12,13 - 12,65

50cl Bottle at Kaffee ’t Buitenbeentje, Tilburg. Hazy golden amber colour, white head. Aroma of candy, some yeast, a bit of sweet banana. Flavour is sweet, candy, bit of plastic, light fruity. Light bodied. Nothing off, but just an extremely disappointing Weizen, didn’t finish the glass.

What a let down, I love this breweries Alt beers and assumed their other beers would be just as good, wrong! This was the fourth beer of my German and lager based tasting evening in Aug 2011. The beer was poured into a Weizen glass and looked the business: murky, dull amber with the usual huge head sat on top, just like all the best Hefeweizen. Where was the normal aromas of vanilla and banana, no cloves or anything else for that matter. The beer wasn’t fresh, only having one week before it’s best before date, but that shouldn’t stop it from having a smell. The taste was also a let down, wheaty yes, Hefeweizen flavours, no. Really disappointed with this beer, maybe I and my friend missed something, but I don’t think so.

(Bottled) Just an ok wheat and ive no time for ok. bananas and dry lemon like tangs . A subtle sweet and spicy undertone . OK as ive said too many times.

Süß-herber Antrunk mit deutlicher Wässrigkeit. Ähnlich lasch gehts auch weiter, dabei wird das Bier kurzzeitig malzig, danach tritt die süßlich-herbe Note wieder in den Vordegrund. Keine Meisterleistung! Test vom 15.5.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,6,6,6,8,6 - 6,50

Bottle. A hazy orange-golden beer under a finger-thick, creamy, off-white head. Grainy, citrusy nose with some banana and cloves. Hints of bubble-gum and herbs. The flavor is sweet, malty and bananaish. Some bubble-gum and cloves blend in. There’s a slightly vegetal touch to it, which amplifies in the finsh. Medium body, effervescent and medium-sweet. Overall, its a decent beer, but if you examine it a bit closer, there’s a touch of burnt plastic that sort of ruins the experience. I probably over-rate it. 091010

Bottle 0,5ltr: Hazy yellow with an citrus/fruity taste and some banana in the back.

Bottle@Home. Aroma of veggies, lemon with a hint of banana. Pale yellow color, hazy, irregular off-white head, fair lace. Light sweet, bitter, veggies, more banana in the finish. Thinnish.

500ml bottle from Real, Munchengladbach. Hazy pale gold, rocky off white head. Bit soapy, alcohol is a bit obvious. Not much of a weizen. More like a lager than a weizen. Pretty poor
