Slightly hazy amber coloured body with a very thin off-white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, metal, pears and a bit of banana. Medium-bodied; Mild wheatie flavour with some funky citrus, cardboard and metallic flavours most noticeable. Aftertaste shows some light sugars and a faint, stale maltiness - nothing enticing here at all. Overall, a pretty mild beer - no pungent flavours (good or bad), and no real reason to try this one! I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Karsdadt in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on 21-February-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 06-March-2009.

Bottle by 07.2012. Heavy banana and vanilla notes in the nose, strong wheat and cloves. Hazy orange body with a beige head. Taste is semi-sweet with light fruit and light bitterness. Medium body with low Sort of stale and uninteresting. A dumper.

20/11 0.5 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, thanks! It poured hazy, darker copper body with medium sized head. Banana, pear, caramel and cloying aroma. Mixed wheat and dark malt flavors, including caramel, coffee with milk, pear, banana. Wasn’t spicy. Fuller body with long, slightly sour wheat finish. Quite interesting, but nothing special for the style indeed.

(bottle) pours a murky amber-brown colour with a frothy off-white head. aroma of banana bread, yeast, caramel and some heavy clove and toffee. flavour is mostly burnt toffee, with a hint of vanilla and herbal hops in the finish, which is quite salty. medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation.

Bottled 500ml. -from Bier Imperium, Vienna. Bottle No.01734.2 Dark orange/amber coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, odd nose (overripe pear). Sweet malty, caramel and that not so pleasant overripe pear with watery finish. Didn’t like it.

Another one of Ogi’s, shared with heavy and me. Poured a very dark misty amber body with a slightly off white head. Dusty nose, müsli, overripe bananas. Malty sweet taste, sourish, very light banana, dust, stale, very light pear. Humm. Flashy bottle, flashy looks, "matured on beechwood" and yet ends up being, yeah, slightly different than the norm, but hardly anything special.

Unclear amber color with a small beige head. Aroma of banana. Flavor is fruity and little sweet.
