Bottle. Close but not quite there for a German style Hefeweizen. Looks the part but has a bitterness that is not there in Schneider and Erdinger for example. Still worth having again - which I have!

Very good take on a german hefe. Only fault was the lack of carbonation - was very little when a lot is needed.

Bif (1023) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 3, 2012
Bottle- Pours a hazy copper color with a weak head that fades quickly to no real lacing. Aroma of Citrus and banana with a bit of spice in the background. Taste of banana, some citrus with a very light sweetness. Mild bitterness and a clean finish. Light body, crisp and refreshing. Not a bad beer, reminds me more of a Belgian Witbier than a German "Hef".

Ratman197 (7631) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - AUG 4, 2012
Bottle poured a cloudy ame with a small lingering off white head. Aromas of wheat, yeast, banana, light bubblegum and light clove. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of wheat, yeast, light banana and a hint of clove with a smooth finish.

LesArgen (131) - AUSTRALIA - JUL 28, 2012
The aroma is all banana and bubblegum, with more banana in the mouth. There’s also a pleasing amount of light citrusy hops on the palate. A pleasant heffeweisen.

Bottle. Hazy colour, cloves and bananas overwhelm the palate. A hefeweizen but an average example.

330ml bottle- a nice cloudy honey colour. Good banana and clove aromas. A good version of a hefeweizen.

qldbeerman (12) - Fortitude Valley, AUSTRALIA - JUN 4, 2012
A sweet organic wheat beer, with strong explosions of banana and citrus hops, a great morning after beer, or a session starter

ALLOVATE (2108) - Butler, AUSTRALIA - APR 14, 2012
A long over due tasting from Oct’ 2009.
Bottle, into a weissbier glass. Excited and well charged. Bountiful, loose, sudsy white head atop a cloudy, sandy orange body. Wheaty, bready nose with inklings of fairy floss, caramelised strawberry and ripe peaches. Fizzy and overly sweet in the mouth. Licks of raw sugar, caramel, fairy floss, sour lemon citrus and a touch of sour malt. The carbonic bite of this upsets anything else, a few too many swirls to release it and it is still there, bitingly harsh on the swallow. A hint of clove, yeast and bread dough peaks through just as the glass empties. And then it was gone.... (33cL, 05/12/09, Dan Murphy’s Albany)

Jado (254) - Camp Hill, AUSTRALIA - FEB 5, 2012
330 ml bottle. Pours a cloudy amber colour with an oddly thin head. Banana dominated the nose, with the taste bringing more banana plus clove and spice. The spice continues on the palate. Not a bad hefe at all, but doesn’t quite have the oomph of the German ones.

davidm (1777) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - JUN 24, 2011
Bottle 330ml. Ugly, but nice nose. Aromas of banana, bubblegum, and also bread. Taste is sweet, with average length. Palate is oily, lively carbonated, and medium bodied. Yellow, with a thin head.
