Hugi (115) - Baden-Württemberg, GERMANY - AUG 17, 2011
From a can. Pours a hazy pale-gold with a medium head. Aroma of orange, herbs and a light citrus-touch.

Garito793 (164) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 7, 2011
Much better in Europe than America. This is an extremely rich and refreshing beer. Quite lemony and wheaty but not without some hops.

DrSilverworm (703) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - AUG 5, 2011
12oz bottle thanks to my uncle Goerge. Mildly pale yellow color, BIG poofy head. Hefe-like banana aroma. Good crisp carbonation. Sour/sweet taste. Lives up to the rep.

GothGargoyle (188) - Vancouver, CANADA - AUG 3, 2011
Pale yellow with a large head that dissipates quickly, but not completely. Aroma is citrus, vanilla and yeast. Taste is lemon and wheat. Not overly complex, but a great casual summer drinking beer and definitely one of the better widely available beers.

cryptobard (281) - DENMARK - AUG 3, 2011
Almost a fluffy texture in the mouth. Murky blonde color - very sexy. Has just enough taste to be delicious but not enough that drinking their big bottles becomes burdensome. Great.

MMR (178) - NETHERLANDS - AUG 2, 2011
Very strong smell of vanilla and citrus but it’s taste is not as heavy and a bit more watery. Nice thick yellow colour with a strong white foam. Very acceptable white beer but far from as powerful as it’s german brothers.

bierwabbe (9) - BELGIUM - AUG 2, 2011 does not count
If heaven had a beer, this would be what the angels drank. Purity, lightness and beauty in a glass. The lower ABV guarantees you can have several if you desire, and what better replacement for your average adjunct lager? The best thing to drink on a warm summer’s day, and wonderfully refreshing with Chinese or Indian food. I like to have one of these after having a particularly strong wicked Russian Imperial Stout, just for the contrast -- Hell and Heaven.

Psytron (503) - Turku, FINLAND - JUL 31, 2011
Godlike. When one is thirsty, this one is "old trusty". Brown-greyish colour. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Sweet taste.
