Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2012, Great British Beer Festival, London Olympia, Hammersmith Road, London, England W14 8UX.

Murky matt medium yellow orange colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, wheat, moderate yeasty, rubber, banana, yeast. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet with a long duration, fruity, yeasty, banana, fruity. Body is medium, texture is creamy, carbonation is flat. [20120808]

Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Fullers snifter. Pours a cloudy yellow colour with a quickly dissipating white head. Smells faintly of banana and light yeast. Tastes like a very light tasting yet full bodied hefeweizen. Nice balance between fruit and peppery elements. Overall a pretty good beer, but i’d go for a Schneider-Weisse any day. However this was only £1.79 so maybe not.

Cask@GBBF2012. Goldeny orange colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, toffee, mild yeast and some slight earthyness. Flavour is nice wheat, citrus, some spices as well as mild caramel and some herbal notes.

Head is good, the body is orange, a bit grey and cloudy. It smells yeasty a bit banana. The taste is yeasty, creamy a bit malty. The taste is not bad but my one @ the GBBF was almost without CO². Would be better with CO². 12/10/9/9/-/10

UPDATED: AUG 8, 2012 Cask at GBBF, cloudy orange brown with a tight foam, banana and cloves on the nose, rich hoppy fruity orange and banana body. An excellent example of the style, better than some Bavarians.
