COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Carls Hvede henter sin inspiration i de bayerske hvedeøl, der fra 1960erne og frem fik en kæmpe renæssance i Tyskland. Øllet er orangegyldent og uklart med en stor livlighed, og har en ganske kraftig frugtagtig aroma med noter af banan, nelliker, skovsyre og koriander. Smagen byder på en stor maltsødme samt en lille bitterhed.

Superb.Very good volume. Very round and harmonic. Some excellent spices. Not very long, but gives a very good feeling in the stomach.

This was massively wheaty and a tad Belgian in flavor. Extremely yeasty and I was impressed just how "german" this hefe was in taste. An impressive effort from an overall unimpressive brewery.

A great beer when on draft, still nice on bottle, but you have to make sure to have a glass big enough to fit the whole beer. A taste of lemon is hidden in the beer, that creates the fruity taste of summer.

Cunningham (1940) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 30, 2011
UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 Can in Copenhagen. Hazy yellow colour with a white head. Wheat, light banana and light fruity aroma. A fresh flavour with a moderate caramel background. Wheat and light banana falvour

Nice hazy amber colour, nice hat, very volumous and with a bready taste, good to see this kind of beer on the danish market!

Sigmund (3711) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - AUG 17, 2005
Draught at a Turkish restaurant in Odense (had it also later on two other occasions in Denmark). Served too cold. Surprisingly dark colour, orange to brown, cloudy. Moderate but nice hefe aroma and flavour, tolerable hops. Went nicely with the Turkish buffet. Pleasant cloves aftertaste.

LoveCaissa (873) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - AUG 18, 2002
Nice golden colour with a big white head. Pleasant fruity aroma. The flavour is quite refreshing and somewhat sweet as the style "demands". IMHO far better than Tuborg Classic Hvede, but inferior to Brøckhouse Wit.

jonas (4589) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - MAY 13, 2002
Attrective apricot color and a nice head. Complex, allthough not very prominent, fruit aromas and taste and a refreshing light body. An obvious attempt to reach the more mature beer drinkers in Denmark as opposed to the easy drinkable ’Tuborg Classic Hvede’ from the same company.

Mads Langtved (2246) - Copenhagen K, DENMARK - JUL 17, 2002
UPDATED: MAR 5, 2003 Very refreshing. One of the 4 contestens in the Carlsberg beer selection 2003. Maybe it will stay on the market on bottle. It is a wise alternative to Tuborg's.

Nice wheat beer, fresh and fruity. A bit weak taste for as strong a beer.
