Jan 21, 2008 On tap at Bohemian, Deal. Cloudy orange gold colour with lasting ivory head. Some cereal on aroma, but not a huge aroma, and then you taste it and the bananas come through. Some yeast. It’s spritzey in mouth, but no great depth. Bit of lager malt puke on aroma. Ultimately disappointing hefe weiss. Bit too pukey. Banana morphs into lemon on finish. Shame.

Feb 2, 2007 Bottle, 5.4%. Distinct banana aroma. Cloudy orange colour. Nice, stable, big creamy white head. A little citric flavour with some banana. Has a little plastic and some rough bitterness. Good mouthfeel, and a high carbonation which suits this beer.

Nov 29, 2006 Draught@Frankfurt am Main airport.
Orange color with shades of amber, steady creamy head. Banana and wheat in the nose but also aroma showing unclean tap. Foamy mouthfeel, also crisp in the finish. Medium-bodied. Banana, fruity flavors. All good elements of wheat beer are there but lacking somehow character. Must be rerated from the bottle.

May 21, 2006 Bottle from MoritzF. Thanks! Orange gold color. Mandarin and banana in the aroma, with a touch of flowers added. Vinous flavor. Very fruity (banana, mandarin, mango). Fruity thist quencher, without too much depth.

Jun 24, 2006 Draught Funky bright orange beer with huge orange-tinted head, very dense. Orange pulp nose, esters with just little cloves, little peppery, and just a tidbit of banana. Lots, but then LOTS of banana ester in the taste, very sweet, rosewater. Very porridg-y, filling MF, as if it were a real fruit pulp juice. Peppery finish in the aftertaste. Pleasing, if tad too sweet Hefe.
