Marsiblursi (1425), Gö te la borrrrg, Sweden Jul 3, 2008 (Bottle) Pours hazy pale golden with a foamy white head. The aroma is rather typical for a German wheat beer with strong notes of spicy clove and medium tones of sweet banana and wheat. Some smoky incense and floral notes are also present. Light tropical and citric hints of tangerines, sweet oranges, peach, mango and strawberries. Some yeast and toasted malt. The flavour is a bit more simplistic with wheat, banana, clove, toasted malt and mild hints of citrus. The mouthfeel is creamy and soft with a small bubbly carbonation. Aftertaste of salt, wheat and mild citrus fruits. Tiny hop bitter finish. Medium bodied. Lovely aroma and palate. Mediocre flavour.

Pours a very nice looking deep cloudy yellow with thick, rocky white head. Aroma of bannana and wheat. Flavor is much the same, light sweetness. Light-med. body, soft mouthfeel, high carbonation. Overall, a pretty good Heff... Beershine (1440), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Hazy gold with booming, blossoming white head. Sweet yeasty nose with banana, lemon, and slight sour tang. Soft mouthfeel. Sourness continues, is odd. Like a spritz of an overripe lemon or orange. Interesting and refreshing because of the tartness. ARMed (423), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 26, 2008 Overall an excellent hefe-weiss brew. The appearance was a customary for the brew but the flavor was exceptional. Crisp, clean and very palatable. Perfect on an early fall evening with friends around the campfire. jhliesen (358), West Melbourne, Florida, USA Sep 7, 2008 Bottle--Yikes, the head during the pour was gigantic!!! Coloring was a cloudy, pale yellow with a clove, banana and fruity aroma. Drinking the beer came with a nice level of carbonation along with a taste banana and a solid base of wheat. Great stuff for a beer you never heard about. Pettys 2.49. mvcramer (203), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA Aug 31, 2008 Loved it as much as I thought I would. Pale golden straw color and huge pillowy white head. Aroma is what you expect of a high-quality hefe... mild clove ester aromas and some sweet fruitiness. Clean citrus taste and very pleasing on the palate. Great beer. Exceptional summer beer.
