Bouteille de 450 ml, acheté au LCBO de Summerhill (Toronto), le 13/7/08. Blonde pale peu brumeuse, mince collet. Arome de blé léfé et aqueux, fruits crèmeux faible. Goût faible de blé peu fruité et épicé, petites notes de banane et d’orange. Plate et pathétique!

Bottled. A hazy orange coloured beer with a nice white head. The aroma is really thin. Water, ice and the merest hint of banana. Some banana and clove in the thin body. Inferior.Score 2.5

450ml swingtop bottle at Balsam Cocktail Lounge, Oslo Poured hazy orange with good head. Classic wiezen, with banana esters and citrus. Less carbonation than other brands, which is good

Poured a hazy orange with an impressive foamy white head which I had to sip before it overflowed. Bad pour on my part somehow? I found the aroma a little weak compared to other hefeweizens I have tried. Very small hints of banana and citrus. Flavour was the same. Tasted good, but I found it to be noticeably more watery and thin than most. The aftertaste was tingly and farily dry. Overall I was pleased, but zie Germans do it a lot better.

Bottled. Not bad, fairly standard and hits most of the right notes. Vibrant carbonation, some banana in the nose, light pepper, lots of citrus. A bit of sweetness, metallic notes and lemon peel in the finish. Fairly average. I’m not sure I’d be able to guess this was a SABMiller product!
