Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass modest zippy, small head. Starts mild, but not washy, modest yeasty, some fruity hints of apricot. Well balanced finish. Quite drinkable. Tastes like a mild weizen, but not like a light one. Good.

This light wheat has the color of heather honey, and just as hazy. The head is nice and the aroma and flavour are fruity with notes of wheat and banana. It’s like someone added a little water to the Original, so it’s not bad, actually it’s quite good considering the low alcohol. I keep it in store for days where a light beer is just right...

bottle. Cloudy orange yellow, large white head. Fruity nose. Light-bodied, fruity (lemon zest, banana) with some nice malts and accents of caramel.

Bottle. Alc. 3.2%. Unclear medium orange color with a large, frothy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, wheat, moderate yeasty, light banana. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. (050308)

Bottle: Cloudy orange color with an off-white head. Light bready, grainy nose with notes of citrus. Flavor is light to medium bodied, wheaty, yeasty, spiced and some fruitiness. Light astringent finish. Ok, alcohol reduced beer.

Bottled, alc. 3.2% (BB 05/2007).
Hazy light brown color, decent white head. Banana and leather aroma. Wheaty, banana flavors, good body for this ABV. Decently tasty weizen for being only low alco, but of course not suprisingly as its "big brother" is a world class hefeweizen.

Bottled (3.2%). Totally hazy orange colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is banana and hops. Flavour is quite watery, slight banana, some malts and hops. Standard hefeweizen, but very good for having 3.2% ABV.

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey brown with a rich, white head. Some of the fullness is lacking - naturally - but most of the flavours are intact. Almost honeyish soft and smooth. Mild and spicy. Interesting. 270301

Dark orange colored, big yellow head. Some banana and sweetness in aroma, slight spices also there. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is weaker with still some banana and mild spices, some yeast in aftertaste.

Bottled. Hazy orange coloured with a white head. Sweet acidic aroma with notes of malts and fruits. Watery flavour dominated by bananas with notes of citrus.
