300 ml bottle at home, poured into a weizen glass. ABV 5% Light orange body, with light activity in it. Slighty hazy. Two fingers of white foam on top, average retention and lig lacing on the glass. Quite yeasty aroma, along with a milk-like smell, also a bit sour, but not offensive. Taste is also milk-like, yeasty as well. No apparent wheat or banana taste. Slighty acidic.We could be talking for an at least average sour, but for a weizen.. I think not. Medium body, average carbonation. Drinkable, but it wouldn’t be among my first choices.

On tap at Haarlem Culinair 2011 as Sint Franciscus Salland’s Weizen. Hazy yellow colour, white head. Aroma of grainy malts, light wheat, a bit of banana. Flavour is light sweet, mostly dry, grainy, some banana, yeast, grainy light bitter finish with some lemon. Light bodied. Not very good.

On tap @ De Zwaan, Raalte. The aroma has citrus/coriander, some yeast, weizen. Hazy=cloudy, yellow coloured beer with a lasting, big, white head. The taste is light bitter, light sweet, quite spicy, citric, malty. Quite refreshing. Nice beer.

bottle from Bierkoning - Merci! Hazy pale yellow, mid-sized white head. High carbonation, spicy nose with hints of marzipane. Malty, wheaty, yeasty and spicy, reminding me more of a witbier than a German Hefeweizen. Refreshing summer beer.

Bottle. Blonde, cloudy. Milk and yeast in the aroma. Citrus, yeast, milk and vegetable notes in the flavor, and lingering on for a while in the aftertaste. Too yeasty to be pleasurable, though the citrus is refreshing.
