rakkasan (142) - Bresso, - AUG 7, 2010
bottle - pours a hazy light-orange with a nice thick and creamy white head. The aroma is very citrusy with only a microscopic hint of banana, missing the toasted biscuit. Taste is spicy and wheaty, typical, could have been a tad bit more sour, slightly oily mouthfeel.

Bamsen78 (820) - 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 (384) - 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 (174) - 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 (103) - 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.

rangerred (663) - Johnson City, Tennessee, USA - MAY 15, 2013
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.

Prokroustis (570) - Thessaloniki, GREECE - MAY 12, 2013
Cloudy pale copper body with a big white head. Decent aroma with banana, wheat. Not particularly impressive weiss flavour.

Braudog (5026) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Bottle. Classical visuals, orange-gold, hazy, damn near opaque. Bright white foam, piled tightly and neatly, in a bit of a wave, on top. Bit of a tropical fruit aroma up front, but it really comes thru on the first sip ... definite sweet pineapple, a bit of hazy yeast mixed in. Definitely among the sweeter examples of style.

Bottle from Hofmann, Harrislee. Hazy golden with a big and lasting white head. Aroma is sweet, wheaty, banana and yeasty. Flavor is medium sweet. Sweet finish. 100513

Bottle. Nice head with excellent duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, fruits, wheat malt and hops. Full bodied.

Metalchopz (1751) - Cantley, Quebec, CANADA - APR 28, 2013
Single bottle from Marché Omni. Pours a cloudy golden-orange with a slightly off-white, creamy head, with great retention and some light lacing. At first pour, smells good with Belgian Ale yeast and bubblegum notes. Then, turns into some mild adjuncts from macro beers with the wheat. Maybe it’s just the hop used in this one that gives off this aromas. A fruity whiff helps out things. Wet mouthfeel with some creaminess from the head. Wheat taste with hints of oranges. Very light spices and bananas. Not bad, but nothing too crazy for style, and from Germany. Their macro Weizen.
