330ml bottle pours a cloudy straw yellow/orange with lots of bubbles rising to a big lasting white head. Aroma is full of bread and hops, with some cloves. Taste is sweet upfront (with banana and bubblegum flavor) but with a slightly bitter finish Mouthfeel is crisp with average carbonation. Body is light to medium. I enjoyed this one very much and will remember it the next time I want a German Hefeweizen.

Los aromas a destacar en esta cerveza son a granos, principalmente el trigo, pero se perciben también notas de cebada, sin embargo existe un aroma dificil de decifrar, que da ciertas reminiscencias a metal. Su apariencia es, color dorado algo pálido, muy cristalina para ser una weizen, y muy poca turbiedad, característica de las cervezas de trigo. Corona de espuma media también de media retención. En boca se perciben sabores a grano, trigo, pero de igual forma que en olfatos, se perciben ciertos sabores metálicos. Al paladar es fácil distinguir las notas a granos, obviamente percibiendose el trigo y en menor medida la cebada. También destacan ciertos sabores frutales, principalmente a platano. En resumen hablamos de una cerveza que presenta algunas de las características del estilo, como lo es los sabores frutales y los aromas importantes a grano, sin embargo también carece de características básicas como lo son la turbiedad en su presentación y ciertos aromas y sabores metálicos que hablan de alguna inconsistencia en sus cualidades.

Bamsen78 (1038) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle. Pours cloudy light amber with small white head. Clear aroma of hops and yeast. Sourish and sweetish taste of malt and grain. Dryish aftertaste. Decent.

Cantabrian (410) - Christchurch, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 19, 2013
One of the most spectacular appearances for a beer pouring from a bottle. The rest is not as good. Nice aroma of banana bread, a bit too much of that bubble gum, and some less spectacular flavours of malt & fruits.

WeissGary (197) - Glasgow, SCOTLAND - MAY 18, 2013
Bottle. Quite a dark orange and active body, very thick head, pours very quickly and can need time to rest. Banana and bread aroma, very sweet upfront, a hint of banana on the tongue, and a crisp yeasty finish. Its a decent little Weizen!

DeliveryDriver (128) - Illinois, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Pours a cloudy dark yellow color with a big, frothy, white head and moderate carbonation. Had a strong banana bread aroma, which unfortunately does not translate to the flavor. In fact, the flavor is surprisingly bland, and the mouthfeel is light. Not a memorable Hefer-weiser.

330ml bottle into a pint glass. Pours a hazy medium orange with a huge billowy white head. Takes awhile for the head to settle to pour the rest of the bottle into the glass. Lots of lacing left after the head does begin to fade. Aroma of banana and clove and some light bread. All of it is on the mild side. The mediocrity continues into the flavor. More banana, clove, and bubblegum along with some bread. Quite watery mouthfeel with just a very light amount of bitterness. Clean finish. Overall, a very quaffable hefe but very unimpressive at the same time. Watery and lacks flavor. Probably not one I will pick up again.
