Pours a pale hazy yellow orange with a one finger offwhite head. The nose is off for sure, earthy/herbal lager smell, corn, mild BMC character, not too good one the nose. The flavor is....similar to the aroma, earthy basementy malt flavor, no wheat or weizen yeast apparent, corn, BMCish, not good in other words. Palate is a little crisp with a very very mild hop character. Not too good this one.

Lemon and basil scent. Cloudy yellow. White head doesnt last long but leaves lace behind. Full carbonated body, lemon-lime, orange zest and a little sour. Also ends sour, a little yeasty and dry, but very fresh. Not necessarily complex, but unique and enjoyable.

The bottle looks a bit bio-like. The beer in the glass dusty-turbid. Starts woody and sourish, the fruityness is missing. The beer should be more yeasty. Not so good!

500ml bottle, pours golden and cloudy with a thick head. Soft wheat aroma. Carbonated with a wheat and lemon flavor and a little watery.

(Bottle). Mild sweetish aroma. Yellow-orange body, large white head. Very mild flavor, quite watery, somewhat sweet, with hints of banana and lemon. Not much to it.

Bottle from a Berlin organic supermarket. Fine soft wheat aroma. Fresh lemon, some banana,but not remotely like bubble gum. A decent hefe, while nothing to get excited over.

Beautiful pour, cloudy amber-straw, thick foamy head, with significant lacing. Sweet, floral aroma, the hops are cinnamon, sweet, some nutmeg and grape citrus flavor. Thick mouthfeel for a wheat, why doesn’t this brew have a higher rating? I liked this beer a lot.

A decent, though by no means great hefeweizen. Little carbonation or head, and very little in the flavor department. Some subtle wheat, citrus, and pineapple characters are present, but that’s about it. Boring.
