3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle, labelled Weizen Trumpf, bought at the brewery. Cloudy pale yellow, small head. Full-bodied, malty and yeasty with hints of banana. Reminds me of Belgian Witbiers, because of the hints of spices and orange peel.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
(bottle, 4,8% ABV, as Weizen Trumpf, with thanks to quack-duck!) Cloudy, orange colour with a dense foamy white head. Initially grassy aroma, something what I definitely not expect from a Hefeweizen (green-glass bottle effect). Furthermore it has the yeasty house character, plus notes of fruits (banana, pear) and clove and band aid phenols. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a quite smooth carbonation for a Weizen. Yeasty, malty taste with a moderate wheat-character and notes of banana; medium, dry, light-sweet, slightly tart finish with a light clovy spice and some yeasty bitterness in the light fruity aftertaste. Not very balanced. All in all rather unconvincing.
1.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Clean blond color; huge head. Yeast, light hop and carbonic gas aroma, with a light sourness. Poor Weizen character, partially spoiled by some sourness (infection?).
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
bright red-orange colour with a big dense creamy head, aroma of wet haye and corn, medium-bodied, sweet with a light acidity, creamy mouthfeel, the finish is dry with wheaty notes - good character for a very drinkable weizen
