Bottle at Canalissimo festival, Bamberg. Matte sunset-orange color with thick white head. Interesting aroma is smoky and earthy as opposed to fruity. Clean palate with soft, low carbonation. Dry weizen, has some acidity and good smokey characters that underwrite the yeast. Drinkable and dry, albeit thin in the finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy dark amber colour. Small tan head. The flavour is slightly sweet, a bit rough, chemical with a little spicy note.

Cloudy dark tan colour with light rocky head. Malty aroma is fairly earthy for the style, with a slight wheaty note. Fairly tart and wheaty with an apple skin character. The apple gets a little sour/rotten as it warms and this detracts for me, but the drier, tarter concept isn’t so bad.

Draught:Hazy, deep golden, small firm lacy head; wheaty-fruity nose with a touch of smoke; moderate to solid fruity-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied; sweetish fruity finish with a very shy tartness in the very end. Nice Weizen.......

(7/2/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in Memmelsdorf. Slightly hazy deep golden-amber with an off-white head. Aroma is wheaty with a bit of fruity esters. Sweetish fruity flavor with some wheat and light tartness. Medium-bodied. An OK beer but too clean with not enough esters.

Tap, at the brewpub, July 2005. Hazy Gold, moderate white head and gentle condition. Quite bitter hoppiness initially in the nose with some sweet wheat notes underneath, slight fruitiness in the mouth but again a hefty hop note is dominant, lingering yeast and hop bitterness in the finish. This was the first batch of the beer and the brewer admited the hop balance needed tweaking but still a pleasant enough beer.

Mild aroma of banana with good mouthfeel. May feel a bit too unsophisticated.

(from the tap at the brewery) Hazy orange-golden colour with a small but firm and stable eggshell head. Chewy wheat-malty aroma with strong notes of banana and ripe oranges. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to light body, lively carbonation. Strong banana-fruity taste with bubblegum, clovy and yeasty finish. Very good.
