Sampled draught at Jolly, Neihu, Taipei, Taiwan.
Golden coloured and slightly hazy. Phenolic, fruity, slightly ashy and just a tad estery, this wheat beer is more clean and less lively than the average weizen. It is medium bodied with low bitterness. Probably a sensibly understated wheat beer to be able to find a way into a beer market that not is very adventurous.

On tap at the brewpub restaurant in Taipei. Golden with a smallish head. Good banana aroma with hints of clove. Fruity flavours. Nice.

This turned out to be a pretty good wheat beer. The wheat flavor was there, but not too sweet like some weizens. Good color and "cloudiness", too.

Tap. Golden color, pretty clear. Very light wheat aroma that falls apart into a sea of uncoordinated malts and wet cardboard. I was not impressed. Yeah, so I went to the bathroom while drinking this stuff and saw something that looked like a guy in a tux and a girl in a dress on the doors. I took the tux and on the way out was this Asian chick...well, I thought it was a chick, with the feminine face and crazy hair. I doubled back to look at the other door and then realized that I had it right. I must have really insulted the guy, but he really needed to do something about the hair.
