DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Oct 20, 2008 500 ml. bottle on 10/12/2008. Cloudy gold, sturdy white head of medium size, but good durability. The expected clove aroma does not disappoint, some lemon like citrus notes, yeast, and some sweet grain make solid contributions. Light to medium body, medium carbonation, clean, dry palate that results from some acidity and gentle hop bitterness. Honey flavors initially, faint wheat based sourness, and a somewhat harsh bitterness at the finish. A decent hefeweizen, but not my favorite by any means. hirigalzkar (550), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 18, 2008 Bottle. Hazy with golden colour. Big foamy white head. Lots of bubbles. Yeasty and natural grassy aroma. Lots of orange in the flavor. Strange dry and almost neutralising finish. BeerBiker (1384), Odense, Denmark Oct 18, 2008 [Bottle from Bamberg.] Compared with the other ratings this must have been a bad bottle. I had to drain it caused by the intense metallic flavor. guzzler67 (1272), Hanover, Maryland, USA Oct 16, 2008 Large white head with good lacing crowns the cloudy, golden body. Yeasty aroma with soft fruit and light spicyness trailing behind. Smooth, wheaty, yeasty, lemony, fruity flavors with spices in the aftertaste. Creamy, medium bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel with a touch of sweetness that gives way to a mildly sour, mid length finish. mikkopen (251), Oulu, Finland Oct 15, 2008 500 ml bottle. Hazy orange-yellow colour, thick white head. Sweetish aroma of banana, yeast and citrus. Flavour is very much like the aroma. Simple but very drinkable. porterhouse (1148), Alna, Maine, USA Sep 29, 2008 (500 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy grayish gold with a very tall white frothy head in my weizen. Aroma of banana, caramel, brown sugar and hops. Mouthfeel smooth but maybe a touch thin for style. Flavor of banana, citrus, brown sugar and caramel. Maybe a light hint of pepper in finish. Not super rich but has a nice refined taste. dkachur (2316), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 25, 2008 500 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse. Very hazy pale orange with a large head. Aroma is yeast, breadiness, citrus. Taste is wheat, citrus, spice, caramel, bubblegum. Full bodied. Very nice. M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Sep 22, 2008 Tap at some restaurant in Frankfurt - the flight interruption manifest had its advantages... Orangey with an inconsistent cloudiness and a nice big white head. Nose is wheaty and yeasty, some citrus and some cracked black pepper. Mouth is bananay, citrus, sweet and drying. Slightly bitter end, but gulpable, some alcohol present. Quite good.
