Bottled, alc. 5.4 % (BB 01/2006)
Amber hazy color with brownish creamy head. Dryish, banana nose. Sweetish banana flavors with ashy (smokey) notes. Smokey aftertaste. Well-balanced, interesting weizen.

Dark orange coloured here with cloudy look and a huge foamy white head with great retention as expected. Some carbonation evidence from bubbles too.
Clove coriander and banana. It’s not as strong as I’d have liked but acceptable for the style with some fruity spice. There is also a little bubblegum aroma at the end too.
Some banana, clove and pepper with touches of spice and coriander. I enjoyed it but much better hefeweizen out there within a similar price range.
Smooth with tonnes of carbonation and a sweet fruity tang with touches of spice. Medium body and well balanced if a little weak.

Average for a hefeweizen but it was nice and had good flavour. It could have been stronger in taste along with the smell and nothing really struck me for it as being overly exciting.

Cloudy orange/gold pour. White head. Nice orange aroma, coriander, wheat, yeast. Sweet, yeasty, orange, coriander. Nice and easy. Enjoyable.

Grande Weisse! Colore un pò più scuro delle altre. Aroma in generale fruttato, con una buon effluvio di banana e Mou. Al palato si rinnovano le stesse note sentite nel profumo con un pò di biscotto d’orzo. Equilibrata e corposa. Un ottima weisse

Pours orangish yellow. Thick off white head. Nose of wheat, yeast, and bread. Banana flavor compliments the wheat body.

Si presenta nel bicchiere con un colore giallo chiaro non troppo acceso. Schiuma di media persistenza. Odore forte e fruttato con leggeri sentori di agrumi. In bocca non da molto di più. Di facile beva ma nulla di particolare.

11.2 oz brown bottle. After smelling this, I’m sad to say that this must be past its prime. Along with traditional banana and clove, there’s noticeable skunk and rubber in the nose, along with some tart berry jam. Pours hazy orange with a medium dissipating white head. Flavor is pretty muted compared to the best Bavarian hefes. Kind of bland and a little off. I’m sure this is excellent fresh, which this bottle clearly is not.

(Flasche) Es getreidig gelbe bis orangne Farbe, ist hefetrüb mit einer schneeweißen Schaumkrone. Das Aroma ist recht hefig, etwas fruchtig, vllt in Richtung Apfel. Der Geschmack ist sehr sehr schlank, es ist eine süßliche, fast samtige Note wie frisch gebackenes Brot vorhanden.Bittere ist nicht vorhanden. Die Karbonisierung passt. Zusammengefasst; ein sehr erfrischendes Weißbier, das man eher als Ersatz für eine leichte Weisse am Strand als für eine Abendessen nehmen sollte

Tap....It pours hazy golden with a large long lasting creamy white head.....The aroma is wheat, banana and some yeast.... The flavor is very fresh, wheat, banana and some citrus......

Half at York tap. Hazy amber, banana nose, biting carbonation, sweet malt, spicy wheat, banana and hint of clove. (daisy rate)

0.5 liter pour @ Prost! on Greenwood. Dark caramel color. Banana and herbs on the nose. Lightly malty and crisp taste. Way darker than the American interpretation of this style but considerably more flavorful. Just as light too, other than the color.
