3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 YK23 (465) - Haifa, - SEP 30, 2008
Bottle: some yeast but not too dominant, banana and bubblegum sweetness, a bit of clove, some wet wood, some wheat and toasted bread, some weak cirtus notes, medium bodied, short finish, nice beer overall.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 Oakes (10202) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - AUG 7, 2011
I’ve got this as "Weisse" at 5.7%. Hazy dull tan-amber. Soft florals and hints of huskiness on the nose. Soft body with very low carbonation for the style. Sweetish with understated phenols.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Beershine (4757) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - JUN 14, 2011
Hazy dark gold. Thick stable head. Aroma is nicely spiced, aromatic. Fruity, banana pie. Soft palate. A bit too yeasty. I’d prefer to taste more wheat malt. Has a good fruitiness though. Highly drinkable. Banana and ripe fruits in both aromas and flavors. Not refined or sophisticated but very thirst quenching.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 tomer (973) - Rishon Le Zion, ISRAEL - JUL 5, 2010
0.33L bottle, medium stable off white head, murky dark orange colour, aroma of spice , citrus, bubblegum and dirt, quite dry with notes of bubblegum, spice and a strong almondy bitterness which dominates the finish and is quite unpleasant. Not the best of weizens.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 beerandbeyond (19) - ISRAEL - JUN 29, 2010
330ml. bottle. 5.7% ABV. Poured into a 330ml. Weihenstephan glass.
A notch less cloudy than the average weissbier, with a nice head that disappeared relatively quickly.
Light aroma of wheat and yeast, with little hints of sweet fruityness.
Rich taste, with dominant banana and some clove, with a little bubblegum. Nice body, creamy texture, medium pleasant finish.
A decent weizen and true to style.

5.7% abv, bottle, pours honey hazy with a small white head, aroma of orange, honey, banana and clove, flavor of honey, banana, yeast, apple and some clove, pleasant bitterness, medium body, nice stuff.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 DSG (3017) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 24, 2008
Bottle. Hazy golden with a small and quickly-diminishing white head. Aroma has a bit of yeast, some wheat fruitiness (banana, a bit of citrus) and some spiciness. Sweetish wheaty flavor with some banana, a bit of clove and a drier spicy finish. Medium-bodied. Not great, but still an OK and quite drinkable example of the style.
