JorisPPattyn (4638), Antwerpen, Belgium Oct 21, 2008 Yellow hazy beer, greenshine, under huge, yellow-tinted, dense and creamy head. Restrained banana and (ply)woodvarnish (like wandering around in a cheap kitchen showroom). Slightly sourish-fruity. Fruity taste, but with a very special alcoholic differentation, very sherry-like. Both aspects go up an down sinusoidally. Banana, citrus or pineapple juice. Very faint varnish/solvent, and again sherry, dry. Point of saltiness, banana strengthens with the yeast. Medium bodied, very spritzy, yeast turning MF more creamy of course. All in all, just a good, but unspectacular Weizen. One point extra for the sherry-like flavour. <i> Thanks joss (or kappldav?), this seems to be a rare one! </i> jjpm74 (3448), Connecticut, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of kappldav123. Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head. Smells of pepper, bananas, coriander, bubblegum, some spice. tastes spicy with a nice peppery touch, some clove and banana and a nice straw-like finish. swoopjones (1234), Buffalo, New York, USA Sep 30, 2008 Bottle @ Schneider Weiss Haus in Munich. Very similar to an American styled wheat beer. Clear yellow pour. Has hefe like qualities of banana, cloves, lemony citrus. Clean & crisp. Nice beer asheft (1017), Marburg, Germany Sep 5, 2008 [Bottle #077969--thanks, pivnizub!]
Spicy clove aroma with some sweet malt and notes of citrus, corriander, and just a touch of banana. Murky yellowish-brown with a monsoon of effervescence feeding a rocky, off-white, shiny mountain. Spicy clove and malt that is dry and practically vinous with a delicious blend of spicy malt, citrusy and maybe a little pine-y noble hops, bitterness, and carbonation. Extremely refreshing with the wheat sourness, yet nearly 6% ABV--very impressive. Light body, high carbonation, slightly waxy finish. jfb (129), Freising, Germany Sep 1, 2008 (bottle) hazy golden-orange colour with a creamy white head. aroma has strong banana esters, hop spices, citrus, cloves, wheat, cheesecake, very smooth. flavour is wheat, banana, caramel, light notes of hop spice, clove, pineapple, lots of flavours here. dry, light sourish finish, medium body, lively carbonation. great stuff!
