UPDATED: SEP 28, 2006 Bottle. Color is dark golden, with a good sized head with nice duration. Aroma is wheat malt. Taste is fresh and malty.

[At GABF 2004] An unclear orange beer with a white head. The aroma is a weird orange aroma, while the flavor is sour wheaty with notes of lemon. A boring hefeweizen - rather have a German.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Beautiful hazy bronze, without much head. Typical fruity as in a classical German "Hefe-Weizen", which is the obvious ideal. Loads of cereal, loads of yeast. But it doesn’t have the same impact as the best German examples of the style.

35.5 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is grainy and citric to acidic wheaty. Slight spiced too with a fruity banana note. Somewhat thin mouthfeel for a hefeweizen, a bit fizzy carbonated too. Somewhat more citric flavoured than a classic German hefeweizen. Ends somewhat short in a a rather thin flavour and mouthfeel. I cannot claim this doesn’t taste like a hefe-weizen, but it seems that it is slight too citric, a bit too estery and lacks some creamy texture in the mouthfeel to feel right - it feels somewhat artificial. Not bad - just not good either.

Bottled@The White Horse, Parson Green. Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is wheat, caramel, some earth and mild lemony and bananaish notes. Flavour is much the same with earthyness being a bit strong. Probably not that fresh bottle.

Bottled. Almost clear deep golden, rich airy head. Lightly estery banana aroma with a touch of paper. Fruity and medium bodied with some light berryish acidity. No bitterness. Thirst quenching, fairly authentic weizen.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Cloudy yellow coloured with a white head. Acidic aroma with notes of spices. Sweet flavour of bananas and spices.

Bottle. Nice clove aroma. Dark yellow colour, slightly cloudy. Clove flavour and aftertaste. Good body, high carbonation.

Hazy golden color. Aroma of plastic, with some spices and white sugars. Medium body, some sweetness, bad plastic feeling, very light fruitness. Unpleasant.
