Vom Fass @Bieramt, Wien. Unclear dark amber. Dense tanned head. Perfumey fruit aroma, some banana and hint of yeast. Mellow, light sweet and wheaty malt flavor. Pretty nice fruitiness, yellow fruits and mild citrus. Mid-bodied. Very soft in the mouth. Fruity endnotes. Harmonious and easy on the palate.

UPDATED: APR 30, 2012 Bottle from Austria. Poured pale brown colour with realatively stable pale white head. Banana and hefe in the nose, some roasted malt, moderate aroma. Mild, silky taste, though it has a strong banana feel with some dark traces. light bitter. A very good one from Kaltenhausen, I like this one much better than the average Edelweiss hefe.

Pours brown deep orange reddish cloudy, with white rocky head. Aromas are banan, vanilla, nuts.. Palate is slick, medium bodied and fizzy, watery carbonation lively, crispy. Taste is sweetish, roast malty, with notes wheat and dryness. Finish is medium long, fruity with plums and mild end. Average Weissbier, mild, and thinly textured. Drinkable.

UPDATED: FEB 14, 2012 Tap at the Dublin pub, Herzliya. Pours hazy copper-brown with a big white head. Nose: ripe-rotten banana, caramel and some sourness. Mouth - overly sour. beer probably gone bad.

500ml Bottle. Appearance is copper-brown color with medium, foamy tan head. Aroma is pleasant with strong spice element with hints of fruit.
