NOT as good as I thought, it looked better but the aroma was not much pormising, the taste was a little insipit.

Etwas platter Hefeantrunk, der zum Mittelteil aber frischer wirkt. Die Herbe ist angenehm, die aufkommende Bitterkeit passend. Die Aromen lassen aber insgesamt nach, so dass das Bier schnell flach wirkt und besonders im Abgang nicht überzeugen kann. Trinkbar, süffig und in weiten Teilen auch aromatisch genug – aber eben nicht in allen. 8/8/8/7/6/7

[bottle] Spicy aroma with some phenolics and refreshing wheat malt sourness. No banana or bubblegum, but maybe some herbal notes. Cloudy bronze under a dense, nearly white foam. Refreshing wheat malt flavour that is slightly sour and complimented by faint lemon notes. More like an American wheat, but the label is not misleading: "Weisse Hefetrüb"--no mention of Hefeweizen. Light to medium body, medium to high carbonation, almost clean and refreshing finish.

Aroma has banana and like gloves. Taste is similar with the carbonation a bit excesssive. Still a nice beer.

500ml bottle: poured orange yellow with a medium sized off white head. Light aroma of yeast and banana with a bit of metallic, chlorine notes. Flavor is lightly yeasty with more banana and clove notes and still a little metallic. But yet I still like this one. Medium body. Light bitter finish. Good.

(bottle) Hazy orange colour with a big foamy and slightly off-white head. Dusty and yeasty nose with distinctive notes of cloves and a shy fruity and malty background. Light-sweet malty taste with dense notes of bananas, clovy and malty finish, which is quite thin. Way too light-bodied Weizen that lacks furthermore taste.
