Bottle (75cl) from Vinmonopolet (Vika), Oslo. Hazy, milky orange colour. Nice, fluffy white head with decent retention. Foam kept coming out of the bottle for minutes after pouring first glass. Aroma of funky citrus, yeast, esters (orange, banana). Body is light, carbonation is soft/flat. Taste is mildly bitter and acidic. Refreshing, but unremarkable brew.

Hazy Hefeweizen looks, dusty and nice white head. No banana which I expected, instead I get yeast, sweet bread, some spices. Taste is full with a dry mouth feel, especially at the very end. An easy drink, but honestly a bit disappointing. Not sure why because it’s brewed well. (33cl bottle at De Molen)

Very much an average beer. Hazy golden, orange color. Wheat malts and a little yeast in the smell. Decent taste and low to medium carbo and body.

0.75l bottle. This one pours a fizzing clear golden body with a bif big-bubbly fluffy white head. From the second you pop the cork you really sense that Belgium-yeasty aroma. Also some good candy-sugar notes and grassy hops along with light wood, citrus, banana and some spices. Really aggressive carbonation, has a oily mouthfeeling and medium-bodied. Tastes mildly yeasty with notes of peppery spices, dried orange zest and perhaps some wheat. Ends really alcohol-yeasty and quite watery. Not your typical gefeweizen.

Bottle, 0,75 corked, bottled Dec. 2009, from Bierzwerg. Hazy golden color with nice huge white head. Aroma of lemon, hints of spices. Taste, very shy, lemon, wheat, hints of banana with sour finish. I am little bit disappointed.

(750 ml) Le liquide a une couleur jaune paille qui est passablement embrouillée. La tête mousseuse est petite mais dense. Le nez présente des effluves surets, du blé acidulé, vieillot et même légèrement moisi, avec des relents cadavériques de fruits jaunes. Les saveurs sont malheureuses, le blé, le malt et la levure sont à bout de souffle, bref tout est sur le respirateur artificiel. La bouche est correcte, sans plus, plutôt moyenne avec un pétillement fort et une texture fine. La finale est surette, grimaçante. Dommage.

bottled, thanks to bu11zeye, straw yellow with creamy foam, plain yeasty aroma, flavor of grape bubblegum with a rubbery finish

Bouteille de 750ml bouchon de liège. Bière dorée cristaline au départ qui se trouble avec l’ajout de levure au fil du versage. La mousse est blanche et bien durable. Le nez est passablement acide et acre, une touche de vieux blé est perceptible. En bouche on trouve un fond de la bière qu’elle a due être. Elle est vraiment sur le déclin. Trop veille malheureusement.

(750ml, bottled March 31, 2010) Pours a lightly hazy straw with a small fizzy white head. Aroma of wheat, mustiness, and lemongrass. Flavor of grass, herbs, lemongrass, earth, banana, and minerals with a somewhat dry, bitter finish.

Herber und wenig süßer Antrunk, insgesamt wässrig. Stimmig, getreidig, für mehr Süffigkeit müsste das Bier heller sein. Spartanisches Bier ohne die Hefenoten, die ein Weizen meist ausmachen. Zur Abwechslung mal ein schlechtes De Molen Bier. 10/7/7/7/11/6
