Bottle. Cloudy yellow, collapsing foam, fine carbonation. Light buttery, clove and banana aroma. Spicy, light candyish flavor, a hin of smoke retronasal. Medium body, spakly. Quick exit.

500ml bottle. Cloudy golden colour with average to huge, collapsing macropore white head. Sourish wheaty aroma, unripe pear, rhubarb, broad bean. Slightly muggy taste, banana doesn’t reach a status of complete evolvement, too much sourish notes, an otherwise welcome citrus note doesn’t add freshness therefore.

The Weizen in the glass is dark yellow-orange, with a slightly soapy, pearly, but very staunch head. It smells very yeasty and fruity, (orange and banana ). Perfect for a beautiful sunny day like today. Starts very fruity-sweet and mild yeasty, tart and creamy. The middle part also shows very fruity, with lots of banana and orange. Goes into a fruity-sweet, mild and creamy-yeasty finish. Excellent german Hefeweizen!!!

0.5 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Hazy yellow color! Dry clove and pepper aroma with scent of tobacco and grapefruit. Dry clovey and peppery flavor with hint of plastic. Hard spiciness with some plasticky notes, not my kind of weizen.

Enjoyed while dining at a fancy restaurant named Restaurant Rattstube in Eppingen, Germany with work and work-related associates. I had a decent meal, but not the ox dish that others enjoyed, so this beer may inadvertently get a lower rating as a result, which is slightly unfortunate but there’s nothing I can do about that. Appearance was a nice slightly dark gold with a rich, frothy white head, typical with the variety. Aroma I can’t really remember too well, but I remember it having those typical German weiss characteristics which were pretty nice. Taste was pretty good, but again, I didn’t have the ox so this beer gets a worse rating as a result (which I’m half joking about). This is a very nice Weiss beer, would gladly have again.

Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are wheat malt, yeast, fruits and hops.

Draught in Heidelberg @.. Had this beer some time ago, transferring data from database before Januar I was using to rate beer. As I drink this again I will add a complete review.

Bottle. Blonde, cloudy. banana, yoghurt and orange in the aroma. Skimmed milk in the slightly sour flavor. Fresh cheese, lemon, hints of banana. Surprising weizen.

Hefearomatischer Geruch, fruchtig und bananig vermengt mit Spuren von Traube und Feige. Antrunk hefig-säuerlich. Mitte fruchtig-säuerlich und perlend. Hefig-bitterer, sektartiger und weinsäuerlicher Abgang. Weinartiges Hefeweizen mit Sekttouch. Nicht schlecht.

(bottle) Cloudy, orange-golden colour with a big and slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet malty and moderately wheaty aroma with notes of old milk, cloves and a tinge of overripe bananas. Quite sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Wheaty and yeasty-spicy taste with sourish notes of citrus, shades of bananas and traces of cara-malt; sour-fruity and slightly sweet malty finish with notes of cloves and sour-milk. 19.XI.11

Bottle by 17.07.12. Heavy wheat and yeast in the nose, other typical HW notes are there but backed off. Very light, pale yellow body is cloudy with lots of carbonation, rocky white head. Full and very crisp body with low bitterness, very tangy and somewhat sour, wheat and some strange phenols. Airy with spiderwebs and autumn leaves trampled underfoot, just an odd bird.
