(bottle) Cloudy, reddish brown colour with a tall and steady tanned foamy head. Sourish berry-fruity aroma with notes of wheat-malt, a tinge of vanilla and very little roast-character. Sour and slightly sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Wheaty malty and berry-fruity taste with shy hints of caramel; sour and slightly sweet wheaty and fruity finish. Too sour for the style. 24.IV.11

Bottle (excavated by Q.D. !): Hazy, brownish-amber coloured, small - quickly collapsing - loose white head; sourish toasty nose with a tinge of wheat; moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, medium bodied, quite fizzy - but all in all a smooth MF; sourish-caramelly finish. No glory.....

bottle, bought at the brewery. Cloudy dark pale brown colour, large off-white head. Sourish-fruity nose. Wheaty and yeasty with a sour fruitiness, hints of chocolate. Refreshing.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy opaque brown with a dense and frothy beige head leaving some lacework. A little roast and yeast in the nose. Medium body, roasted malt and licorice with the banana and yeast accents being fairly downplayed. Ends dry. Kinda like a "Hefe Brown Ale"! 161010

Bottle bought at the brewery. Looks good, very similar to the dunkel. Starts mild, modest yeasty-malty, not too much. Fruity notes pf plums. Finish a bit spicy with notes of liquorice. Well balanced, quite drinkable. Not bad!

500ml bottle (OPP, Helsinki. German Weeks 2009)
Stodgy aroma, sweet and toffee-ey, a touch acidic and with a touch of banana. Decent roasty body in places. Blows hot and cold - at its best it’s very tasty, but has odd corners. Some yeastiness. Banana remains in the finish a long time.

Bottled. Deep brown colour, beige head. Aroma is caramel, mild notes of wheat, some fudge as well as mild fruityness. Flavour is fruits, wood, some wheat as well as mild grassy notes.
