Draught @ BQ - Birra artigianale di Qualità , Via Losanna 36, 20100 Milano, Italy.

Unclear - hazy matt light yellow orange colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, bubble gum - mint, spicy, citrus, soap notes. Flavour is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average duration, soap bitter, spicy, coriander notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. IMO more a belgium wit than a german hefe ;O) [20111109]

[Draft at ZBF 2004] An unclear light yellow beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is light of citrus and yeast and slightly sour (wheat?). The flavor is of sour wheat combined with corriander and ending on a dryness - a boring flavor. The body is thin. And all in all this is a boring beer. I hope Joris is right - and then I must resample it.

Hand bottled
Hazy orange color, steady creamy white head. Weak banana-fruity estery aroma. Dry, slightly sourish, wheaty. A bit spicey finish. Refreshing with longstanding aftertaste.

(Draught) Fully pale yellow, slightly yellow-tinted head. Slight hops, very yeasty and slightly grassy. Taste is sweet, with vanilla, yeasty - way too much yeast. The mouthfeel is all creamy. Aftertaste is just one jumble of esters and intermediate products of yeast in full ferment. Overall is simple: this was beer to be sold 6 weeks later. Hyper-green, fermenting worts.

[Draught] Pale yellow coloured. Natural banana aroma. The flavour is wheaty and bready. Thin finish.

(Hand-bottled, 5.0% ABV) Opaque yellow with a medium, foamy and white head. Mild, banana-fruity aroma with some toffee. Wheaty, mildly lemony, sweetish flavor with toffee hints. A pleasant and balanced hefeweizen.

Tap, ZBF2004. Cloudy gold, good fluffy white head and moderate fine condition. Initial aroma of sulphur soon subsiding, leaving wheaty banana notes, some esters and a hint of butterscotch towards the end. Soft in the mouth with lemon citrus and esters developing. Slightly sweet and phenolic with a hint of chalk in the finish. Starts like a weizen, becomes wit-like then just does what the hell it wants in the finish.

Draught at Hasselt Belgian Bierweekend. Light honey aroma. Mild honey. Pale gold cloudy with thin white head. Light body with thin carbonation. Light honey taste, mild bitterness. Thin watery malt. Light papery hops. Overall, watery and weak.

chiara buona schiuma persistente leggermente speziata un po astringente poco amara

Light aroma, pale straw color, frothy white head. Grainy fresh cracked grains, vanilla hints, dainty spiced end. Thin body, quick profile, light and refreshing. Average beer, but nothing to write home about.
