Quite clear, golden body. White, creamy head, quite lacing and mostly lasting. Sweet, yeasty aroma, also some maltiness. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter initial flavour. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish, which is long-lasting, but not intense.

Hazy orangy-gold. Moderately creamy white head. Fresh, yeasty bubble gum & banana aroma. Medium-full bodied w/ good carbonation. Malty & fruity up front, somewhat vinous & sharp in the middle, finish is all alcohol. Flavours could be integrated better.

Bit of alcohol in the aroma was unexpected and not entirely nice. Sweetish flavour was not unenjoyable but there just wasn't much to interest me here. Not a bad beer but failed to capture my interest enought to have anything substantive to say.

Murky orange, and the ugliest head I´ve ever saw. Large bubbles, colour of it was different everywhere. Taste is yeasty, citric, reminded me of a Weizen in the start. Otherwise rather boring. Some orange flavour. Slightly bitter finish.

Appearance is a little unattractive. Sort of a dull yellow/amber color. Head is good though... nice and tall and creamy. Aroma is a pleasant lemon with a little pear and a yeasty undertone. Flavor starts weak.. not much there. Most of the flavor is in the middle. Its a dry lemon flavor, with a slightly unpleasant yeasty background. Overall not too bad, just didn't like the yeasty aspects.

Hazy golden colour with a small but fluffy white head. Pleasant and slightly musty aroma of apple, pear, yeast and a bit of band-aid. Body is thin and fizzy. Flavour has some nice malt notes to start, a bit of fruitiness, and a medicinal bitterness to finish.
