Draft. An unclear dark golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of wheat, banana, and a bit of cloves. The flavor is sweet and very wheaty combined with light notes of banana and cloves, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

On tap. Cloudy opaque golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Discreet, lightly sweet banana aroma. Medium body, soft mouthfeel, a little low in carbonation, banana, cloves and a whiff of yeast. 050709

From tap at frankfurt airport. Pours hazy yellow with a dense white head. Sweet malty/biscuit aroma with a light eastery frity yeast note. Crisp carbonation mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet malty with a subdued yeasty touch and mild fruity easty note of banana and oranges from back of the nose. Ends medium dry and slight phenolic.

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.

Bottle @ Bierzwerg.de. Pours cloudy golden with a creamy full white head. Mild banana, wheat and grain. Not overly sweet and the banana is subdued. Medium bodied.OK

Bottle, El Nido, Beijing. Effervescent tan-straw colour. Dense rocky head. The aroma is pale malt, lots of wheat, and lots of banana and pear. Fresh and wheaty, with good pale malts and subtle esters. Finishes yeasty. Good balance. Fits the Beijing summer swelter well.

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.

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.

It’s unclear, dark golden with a huge, creamy head. The aroma has notes of banana, yeast – light clove. The sweet flavour has notes of banana, yeast/light clove, wheat – very harmonic and nice, well-made!
