Brewed by Licher Privatbrauerei (Bitburger)
Style: German Hefeweizen

A hazy orange beer with a beautiful head. Aroma is yeasty and banana. Taste is also yeasty and wheat with citric notes. Good mouthfeel with lots of carbonation. Refreshing and drinkable.

Bottle. Pours a orange body with a white head. Wheat, coriander, banana loaf, some light spices. Smooth and creamy body however it finishes a bit abrupt. Decent enough.

Bottle 50cl. @ home.
Unclear hazy medium yellow orange to amber color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, molasses, paper, moderate yeasty, fruity, chlorine - metalic notes. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery - creamy, carbonation is soft. [20091102]

bottle - dark yellow with white frothy head, moderate lacing. Aroma bubblegum, banana, cloves with just a dash of cinnamon and the faintest hint of warm biscuits. Light citrus-apply (I tend to invent adjectives) taste with a trace of malt, and I concur with delnoche who put his finger on it - there is a hint of walnut as well. Slightly sour finish with just enough bitterness to even it all out. Pleasantly carbonated and very drinkable,

On tap. Cloudy opaque golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Discreet, lightly sweet banana aroma. Medium body, soft mouthfeel, a little low in carbonation, banana, cloves and a whiff of yeast. 050709

I’m brand new to this beer tasting malarky, so I may have to return to this particular beer when I’m a wiser man. Still, I’m a big fan of weissbier and I think I should be a fairly decent judge. Overall, I thought it was an average beer. I’ve definitely had better. It had a very watery taste and colour. Apart from that, there was nothing particularly wrong with it - but it didn’t exactly stand out. The aroma was pleasing, but it always is with weissbier. This was a beer that did nothing wrong, but still failed to impress.

Can’t remember if it was on tap or from the bottle, but it was at a bar. Kind of in style, but almost watered down or something

Had an Air Force friend of mine bring this one back from Europe. Nice and light, this hefe lacked any lemon flavors, but there was a load of wheat with very slight honey.
