3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle, cloudy yellow-orange color, with a little head. Aroma is dry grain and crisp hops, some sweetness (a little banana-like) and yeast also. Flavor is the same, both sweet and dry at the same time. Pretty good overall.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Yamaoka.
Dark golden color. Cloudy, with a low, quickly fading head. Nice aroma of bananas and cloves. Rich, thick wheat malt flavor, rather sweet but balanced by a bit of sour. Excellent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Cloudy pale golden with a smallish white head. Potent clove and banana aromas. Harmoniously blend banana and dry clove flavours. Well-carbonated. A superior weizen.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head that completely disappeared after 5 seconds. Low carbonation. Aroma of banana and sweet malts. Texture is a little thick but velvety. Delicious beer, but I like it to have at least a little bit of head. Oishii, ne?
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy straw with a small, quickly fading head.
Nose shows banana in large quantities along with doughy wheat and bubblegum. Impressive!
Flavours are not as mind-blowing, mainly just doughy wheat with a faint metallic finish.
Body seems watery.
3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle bought in Kimuraya Supermarket, Kagurazaka. Pours cloudy urine yellow, big foaming white head. Nose is strong yeasty banana esters, lots of clove, creaminess. Taste is yeasty banana, lemon and orange, clove and a little bit of hop bitter. Mouthful is light and body is a touch watery, which shows in the lacing. Light on the palate.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cloudy, bubbly golden with a medium thick white head. Aroma is nice. Spices, sweet malts, some banana, but not too candyish like many Japanese wits, slight smoke notes. Smooth body. Flavor is nice, though a little muted. Sweet banana, malts, some spice, some wheat, and a touch of smoke. A nice brew, wish it was a bit stronger in flavor. I’d buy this again, though.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
330ml bottle pours golden in color with some floaties and a small white head and very little lacing. Aroma is grainy with some hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with a mild hoppy bitterness in the finish. A very enjoyable wheat beer with nice carbonation and light to medium body and a pleasing tickle on the palate.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from the Co-op in Davis, CA. Pours darkish hazy goldwith a bubbly white head. Aroma is definitely banana ester. Near medium body. Fairly flat. Flavor is banana ester with some yeast/spice. Could be orange, could be clove. No doubt it’s a hefe.
