Amber colored. Smells wonderful yeasty, with a slight banana note. Starts very yeasty-fruity, with hints of banana and citrus. The aftertaste is spicy, with a slight clove aroma. Citrussy and yeasty middle part. Finish is very yeasty and citrussy-fruity, with hints of clove. Hails to my local Hefeweizen!!!

MF: soft to no carbon, light to medium body. Taste: little sourish, some banana, wheat, sweet touch, malty, some spices, little peppery, vanilla. Aftertaste: ripe banana, bit spicy, sour wheaty touch, some bitter hops.

Bottle from Grima, thanks! Blonde, hazy. Citrusaroma with floral notes. Citrus and banana in the sweetish, wheaty flavor. Short aftertaste. OK thirst quencher.

Koelschtrinker (8473) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - JUN 1, 2011
Mittelhefiger Antrunk mit wässrig herben Tendenzen. Etwas bananig, das Bier wird spürbar wässrig und beeinflusst die Hefigkeit enorm. Andere Aromen kommen nicht zum Tragen, das Bier wirkt daher monton. Zum Ende kehrt die schwache Herbe zurück, daneben ist das Bier minimal bitter. Die Fruchigkeit verabschiedet sich hier. Schwaches aber trinkbares Weizen. Danke an Erzengel für das Bier! 12/7/6/6/5/6
