(bottle) Cloudy, chestnut-brown colour with a fluffy but non-persistent tanned frothy head. Moderately sweet and slightly sour fruity and wheat-malty aroma with notes of banana, a tinge of caramel and phenolic spices. Slightly sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Good wheat-character with light toasty notes, banana and cloves; slightly acidic wheaty and fruity finish. 07.X.09

Brown color with a little hazy laced head. Wheat lightness with a malty character and full body. Some spice in the aroma.

Bottle: Hazy, amber coloured, mid-sized beige head - slowly collapsing; sweet caramelly (with touch of turpentine aka necrotic yeast) nose with a yeasty-wheaty background; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, light to medium bodied, soft MF; phenolic traces again in the caramelly-wheaty finish. A rather mediocre brew from a good brewery.........

Bottle, 5.3%. Spicy aroma, a little dark malt, slightly sweet. Cloudy brown colour. Big stable rocky tan head. Malty flavour, quite mild, hint of banana. Dryish finish.

Bottle 50cl.
Unclear hazy medium orange amber color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, light caramel, moderate yeasty, matured banana. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is creamy, carbonation is soft. [20090625]

Bottled at Cinema, Aschaffenburg, Bavaria. Hazy orange/brown. Aroma of orange, banana and toffee. Sweet with spritzy, rounded mouthfeel. Some banana cake flavour, but it fades quickly, leving it with an empty finish.

Hazy amber-orange, toffee colour; yellowish head. Nose with caramel, fruity (maybe some banana). A bit of solvent in the taste, a bit bitterder, woodier than the Helles. Ends on notes of lemonpeel. Medium bodied, slight viscosity, just enough carbonation. Nice dark Weizen. I usually prefer dark Weizens, certainly when, like this one, they are brewed, rather than coloured to Dunkles.

Bottle in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Poured a cloudy, dark coloer. Nice an head. Citrus nose and quite a bit of carbonation. Balance good. A decent but not outstanding brew.

(Bottle, 0,5 Litres ) Dark cloudy colour, quite good head, well-balanced, fairly condimental, slight sourly pre-taste, fully sparkling, yet definite better than the Pils, but still a bit too flat-bodied. --- 15.08.04

(Bottle 50 cl) Now called: "Distelhäuser Dunkles Hefe-Weizen". Pale brown and unclear, slightly off-white head that last all the way through. Highly carbonated. Incredibly lovely fruit-esters with lots of citrusy notes. Some underliying sourness. Not that much to add - a great experience. 160505
