4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
It’s unclear yellow-golden with a huge, creamy head, and the aroma has notes of yeast, banana, wheat and a little banana peel. The flavour is sweet with balanced yeasty notes, banana, wheat, and the finish is spicy. It’s well-balanced, but compared with Maisel Weisse Original, it’s not quite as nice – but truth be told, the difference is very minimal, when you have a glass of each.

Murky golden color/ lasting beige sheen. Sharp spicy clove, tart wheat citrus, fresh baked banana bread aromas. smooth, light bodied mouthfeel. Very nice lightly sweet pale malt, fruity banana flavors with spicy clove, black pepper, and a light wheat tartness- very good hefe

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2008 Bottled. Deep apricot-orange haze. Sour, metallic, vinous nose with a hint of bubblegum, becoming maltier as it warms. Milky palate. Suberb head retention and lacework aplenty. Opens sourly, with some faintly banana-ish fruit, develops a parting bitterness worthy of a distinguished (malty) Pilsener, and sticks around with an aromatic gust of wheaty biscuit. WHAT an aftertaste. One of those beers you just don’t want to end, and it nearly doesn’t. A virtually faultless expression of the style. (Re-rate, 24/05/08- previously 8/5/8/5/16). Unjuicy toffe-apple aroma with a peppering of clove. Hysterically, dissolving-aspirin spritzy. Malty, yeasty and a touch metallic in the mouth with gentle peppery spice, slight dryness, grain, watery banana. Tasty, but unworthy of 3rd position in my ratings, and not the world-beating weiss I once thought.

Nice orange color with a big white head. Sweet banana and orange dominates this thirst quenching brew. Small sourness in the end. Yeasty character of "bulldeg".Not the most complex Hefe, but a great thirst quencher.

50cl bottle. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with steady bubbles and a very generous head. The nose has bananas, vanilla cream and maybe some toffee. The taste has banana, cream and a lemon curd note. The palate is medium to full bodied, big in texture and reasonably fresh on the finish. Overall, a pretty good example of this style.
