UPDATED: JUL 3, 2007 On tap. Typical german hefeweizen. Fruity and very drinkable. Nice aroma and carbonation.

Bottle. Large head dissipates without lacing. Cloudy dirty blond color. Yeasty aroma, hints of spice, light banana. More bitter than the average hefe, it has a bite to it. Average.

A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aorma is sweet malty with notes of wheat. The flavor is sweet with notes of fresh fruit, and malted wheat, as well as light notes of banana.

Bottled. Dark golden coloured. Uncleaer Dense light beige head. Grape, light yeast and light fruits in the nose. Flavour is sweet and fruity. Very vague yeast. Watery and thin. Grapish end. Boring hefe.

Bottled. Lightly hazy golden coloured. Light aroma of fruits and malts. Sweet fruity and malty flavour. Light and soft.

Bottled:
Light citrus aroma. Hazy orange color, big white head. Unpleasant soapy and chemical. Unpleasant bitterness too. No thanks.

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey golden and - naturally - unclear. An impressive, rich head. Fresh all right but a bit thin, too little fruit, too little aroma. Simply lacks some character. 090203

Bottle: poured yellow with a thick meringue like head. Light banana phenol aroma. Cloudy yellow. Moderate yeastiness. Mild banana flavor with good body. A decent example of a German hefeweizen but I’ve had better.

This one started off well but had nothing to save it in the end. Tasted from the bottle and poured into a weissbier glass. Hazy, medium gold body with a huge flurry of carbonation raising up to an impressive two inch, steadfast, rocky white crown. Generous banana, bubblegum and gritty wheat nose, quite candyish and sweet without coming across as too artificial. Slightly plastic and medicinal in the mouth (Oh, the appearance and aroma were so good, what happened!?!). Spritzy in carbonation and medium light bodied, it seemed to conflict between castor sugar notes and lemony sour malt with the slightest hint of banana coming in as it warmed. Pretty bland and disappointing in the mouth, especially with the good build up, but it did go down with ease. Average refresher!! (50cL, BBE 009/05)

Milky, yeasty aroma with orange. Yeasty flavor with yoghurt, banana and orange. Slightly herbal. Thick mouthfeel, almost like drinkyoghurt.
