(draught) pours a hazy yellow colour with a frothy white head. aroma of bubblegum, banana and canned peaches, with a hint of herbal hops and barnyard. flavour is mostly the same, slightly fruity, with lots of mellow wheaty notes. medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

Lemon zest in the aroma and a rather clear gold-yellow in appearance. The flavor is of bananas and yeast. I actually found this to be quite tasty.

bottle poured into wheat glass a: pale hazy straw yellow, lots of bubbling carbonation, silkey foam head with excellent retention s: wheat malt dominates, slight hint of banana ester t: light wheat flavor, clove spicyness late on the palate. Also esters from yeast create a light banana note

500ml Bottle. Appearance is cloudy, yellow-orange color with large, foamy, off-white head. Aroma is citrus dominant, with some notes of wheat and spice. Taste is relatively weak with orange, wheat and slight banana present. Some bitter orange rind and mild clove spice also noticeable. Palate is medium-bodied, somewhat thin texture, average carbonation, and a semi-bitter finish.

500 ml bottle in Stuttgart Germany. Pours the normal hazy blonde gold color with a short non-lasting white head. Aroma is Citrus, hefe, spices, cloves and grains. Taste is citrus, cloves and some fruitiness. Palate is pretty smooth but the palate is also the weak spot to this beer.

#1203 Frisches, leicht bananiges Weizen, das gut trinkbar ist. Andererseits fehlt es diesem Hefe-Weizen an Würze, denn Gewürzaromen a la Nelke fehlen gänzlich. Dennoch als Durstlöscher recht ordentlich!

Bottle 50cl, a cloudy yellow -orange beer with good head. Nose is wheat like. Aroma is medium sweet, fruity, slightly acid, malty and wheat like, body is medium, beer is creamy, pleasant hefeweizen, in the average. Finish is on peppery hops and low lemony notes.

Bottle, thanks to Quack-Duck. Cloudy yellow-golden color with nice big white head. Aroma of banana and wheat. Taste, surprisingly little bit sour, but not bad, continues with banana, maybe notes of tangerine. Dry finish. Good.

Pours hazy yellow with a high head. Aroma is banana and wheat. Flavor is mostly wheat. A tad watery but good.

Wow, big acidic banana and clove, big earthiness, rich naturalness. Very lemony flavor elements here. Really wheaty wheat beer. Luminous golden color, hazy, deep. Good. Not much in the way of residual sweetness anywhere. Thanks Stefan!
