guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Jul 20, 2008 Cloudy, yellow/gold appearance with a large, dense white head and decent lacing. Aroma is right on target for the style, with the yeasty esters front and center. Smooth, palate pleasing texture. Wheaty, yeasty, malty, mildly spiced taste. Well rounded mouthfeel with good carbonation and a long lasting finish. Just about everything you want in a traditional hefe. sayravai (3720), Helsinki, Finland Jul 19, 2008 (Draught@Sailor’s, Helsinki) Opaque orange with a smallish, quickly fading - although partly lasting - head. Slightly sour-bready, banana-fruity aroma with grassy and spicy hints. Orange-banana-fruity flavor with some sourness. Medium-bodied with slightly fizzy carbonation, leaves some stickiness. A refreshing and reasonably bodied Weizen, but nothing that special. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Jul 17, 2008 Updated: Jul 25, 2009Keg (Kittys, Helsinki)
Pale hazy orange, tiny head. Orangy citrus and banana aroma, quite
subtle. Lively carbonation on the tongue, but feels a tad watery. Big
banana taste at first, but that thins to just a few esters with a
watery backdrop before long. A bit of toffee too. Pretty OK quaffer,
but not full enough to excel.
Rerate: 500ml bottle. Yeasty, otherwise a little dull and flat. Not
enough esters or hops. Toffeeness quite high. mjs (1446), Helsinki, Finland Jul 17, 2008 (Draught at Kaisla on 2008-07-14) Orange and cloudy. Big white head that disappeared quickly. Banana, malts and hops in nose. Medium palate with quite large amount of carbonation. Banana, bitterness, bit of fruitiness and sweetness in taste. Surpringly bitter aftertaste. RCL (1443), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA Jul 14, 2008 Super nice hefe. Clean wheat flavor with waves of classic banana and clove. Perfect summmer beer. Homer321 (127), Rockledge, Florida, USA Jul 13, 2008 Aroma is full of banana and orange. appearance is cloudy orande (swirled and poured bottle conditioning into glass). Flavor is like it smells, very smooth. Overall a very good hefe. gameface23 (131), Haverhill, Massachusetts, USA Jul 12, 2008 Bottle dated 07/07. Cloudy orange color with a finger-sized head and yeast sediment floating near the bottom. Nose of mild banana and graham. The flavor was balanced with a muted taste of creamy banana that was more prominent when the beer warmed up a few degrees from the original refridgerator temperature. carruthm (1111), Seattle, Washington, USA Jul 8, 2008 short notes from old tasting. cloudy orange pour with medium thin head. yeasty banana spices, very smooth.
