Bouteille 50cl, BB 06/2013. Dorée-orangée trouble, col blanc cassé crémeux. Arôme offre un bouquet agréable d’esters type allemands tirant sur la banane. Notes épicées légères pouvant laissé penser à ce côté festif de saison, herbacé avec un malt léger en retrait bready. Palais, levure et notes de grains, palais est léger et rafraichissant toujours ponctué par ces esters de banane. Pointe d’amertume houblonnée en toute fin de bouche, herbacée, malt pâle - allemand en plus grande qté. Côté léger et épicé pouvant indiquer des épices de saison ou alors juste la levure.

Pour in pale light orange cloudy body with big creamy head. Long lacing. Aromas are orange, citrus, honey, melon, hay. Palate tart fruity and wheat yeasty. Carbonation is soft smooth and mouthful. Aftertaste is fruity little dry, and yeast. Overall quite balanced wheat beer with nice astringent finish.

Bottle 0,50L. Cloudy light brown colour with big, rocky, mostly lasting white head. Lively carbonation with a lot of bubbles. Aroma of malt, bread, banana and bubble gum. Very smooth mouthfeel. Taste is kinda neutral at the start and crispy, while aftertaste is bitter.

50cl bottle @ home. Hazy light orange color, medium sized white to off-white head. Smell wheat, slightly musty, slightly herbs or spices. Taste wheat, slightly some fruity sweetness with the obvious banana touch, slightly herbs or spices in the finish. Firm carbonation, medium body. Better then expected.

Hazy orange colored pour. Big off-white head that slowly falls and leaves some lacing behind. Big aroma of malty bananas. Taste is the same. Dry finish of malt and bananas. Not bad, a bit different than the regular hefe.

Had a couple of bottles at the Irish christmas dinner at An Poitin Stil in Celbride, Ireland .. . pours a deep hazy gold .. big foam head, tons of lacing .. . mild wheat and banana notes .. . a mild hefe, nothing i would want again .. . . i wonder who wrapped up that little plastic trumpet?

Appearance: Cloudy dark yellow color with a big white head. Good lacing.
Aroma: Sweet wheat, caramel malty and banana.
Palate: Medium body. Slightly sweet and a some bitterness. Rich carbonation.
Taste: Sweet (not as sweet as expected) wheat and banana. Also a bit caramel malty as in a dunkel hefeweize.
Overall impression: A mix between helles and dunkel hefeweize. Fresh and enjoyable.
Personal stats: Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Halden, Norway.

Medium amber to orange body that looks rather cloudy. The head is true to the style: huge, white, creamy, long-lived and it laces the glass well. The aroma on the other hand is but a echo of what a perfect hefeweizen should provide. It’s a bit faint and it’s dominated by some very sweet notes of artificial banana in the front with sweet hints of wort in the back. There is a light sweetness in the initial taste, while a very light bitterness shows up in the short finish. The flavours are sweet fruity with banana, some spices, a bit metal, faint butter and vague wort. Light and dry mouthfeel with a lively carbonation. A weak hefeweizen.
