The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts strong and yeasty, modest sourish, the finish is much too dry and floury. Not my favourite!

500ml bottle! The beer in glass is orange-yellow and medium cloudy, which loses its head, unfortunately, very fast. The smell is yeasty clovy. Starts very yeasty, subtle clove flavor, while very spicy effect. Towards the middle part it gets a little fruity, tangy, what does the whole very good. The finish is then fermented fruity, sour becoming minimal.

Bottled. An unclear golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as a touch of butter. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of butter.

Bottle 50cl.
Unclear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, hay, light to moderate yeasty, moderate toffee. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090321]

Bottle 50 cl. Pours almost clear golden with an off-white head. Lightly sweet fruit aroma. Medium-bodied, banana and yeast. Lightly astringent finish. 210309

Bottle, 5.6%. Weak plastic aroma, not too bad. Hazy grey amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is a little old, yeasty and malty, but drinkable.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Mild hoppy aroma with a light bitterness showing through. Vague butterish note in aroma and initial flavour. Light bitter and mild cornish finish.

500ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki, German beer days 2007) Light orange, with a big fluffy white head. Pink perfumy aroma. Slightly watery in the mouth at first but on swallowing you realise it’s quite bitter. Not unpleasant, but missing something body-wise.

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): Slightly hazy, pale golden, small, but persistent white foam, a touch of vegetables in the wheaty, a bit phenolic nose; medium bodied, moderate sweet, slightly bitter flavour; sweetish-fruity (bananas), a bit tart and bitter finish. Neither pleasant nor disgusting.........

(bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a big foamy white head. Slightly yeasty and sweet malty aroma, moderately wheaty and fruity (citrus, banana) with light spicy phenols. Sweet, slightly acidic flavour, light to medium bodied with a lively carbonated mouthfeel. Slightly yeasty, slightly grainy taste with a moderate wheat-character, also citrus fruity; a bit slim and sour, wheaty and fruity finish. Average Hefeweizen.
