Draught (500 ml) at Bierhuis Rotterdam, Helsinki, Finland. Too carbonated to be great Weizen. Not bad at all but can´t compete with Bavarian Hefeweizen.

(Draught at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden) Shady orange color, small white head. Belgian, spicy, fruity scent. Sweet, fresh, sugary, yeasty taste. Medium to spritzy mouthfeel, low bitterness.

<i>Draught at het Amsterdamertje, Göteborg, Sweden, thanks gnoff for the sips</i>. Cloudy golden, medium white head. Fruity and bready with some caramelly and banana notes. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation. Well balanced with a dry finish.

Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s unclear golden with a huge head. The aroma has notes of banana, clove and wheat. The flavour has sweetness, notes of banana, light clove and its a bit subdued, but also uncomplicated.

Hazy gold with a large white head. Leathery, musty yeast aroma. Thin, slightly sour taste with soap and some sweetness. The merest hint of wheatiness. Quite a good quencher, though it’s a pale shadow of beers like the Franziskaner.

Poured a nice hazy cloud of murky gold in the glass with a heavenly banana pudding aroma drifting forth. Alas, the taste was not as promising as the smell made me belive...watery, thin-bodied and not too inspired. Not undrinkable by any means but I need a lot more spice in my brew.

Bouteille 450ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur dorée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (bananes, moyen de citron), d’épices (léger de coriandre et de clou de girofle), moyen de blé et avec des notes de houblon herbeux. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement élevé et croustillant ainsi qu’une texture moyennement crémeuse et légèrement aqueuse. Goût de levures fruitées (bananes sucrées, moyen d’agrumes surtout citron) accompagné d’un moyen goût épicé (moyen de clou de girofle, léger de coriandre) et de notes de gomme balloune lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût légèrement asséchant de blé ainsi que des notes de pain et de céréales fraîches puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux avec des traces d’épices (poivre très doux). Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, légèrement amer de houblon herbeux avec un goût de levures fruitées (zest d’agrumes, pelures de bananes) et des notes de blé.

500ml bottle. This is very enjoyable - a smooth and creamy mouthfeel - wonderful fresh non-aggressive carbonation. Soft flavours - hints of savlon, but not strong, some alcohol, some mouldy leather, some banana, some orange zest - all the usual things found in a wheat beer, but this is soft, elegant and balanced. Very impressed.
