kflorence (93), San Diego, California, USA Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Oct 4, 2008 Bottle from Brickskellers in D.C. Poured in the traditional style into a nice big weizen glass, allowing the yeast in the bottle to mix with the rest of the beer, leaving a nice thick head. Smells of banana, orange, cloves, wheat and flowers. It has a very nice, light and carbonated mouthfeel. It’s a pretty complex beer, I could pick up lots of different notes but it seemed to be dominated by citrus, bananas, cloves and slight hop and alcohol presence. One of the better hefeweizen’s I’ve had the pleasure of drinking, although it reminded me of other German hefeweizens (like Paulaner).
gnoff (2923), Göteborg, Sweden Nov 29, 2008 (Draught at The Rover, Göteborg) On November 28, 2008. Cloudy orange color, frizzy and dense cream colored head. Sweet, banana, spicy, acidic scent. Bitter, sweet, light metallic and phenolic, herbal taste. Moussy to medium mouthfeel. Herbal and banana aftertaste. Medium to low bitterness. Wrong time of year to drink it I guess, in a dark, chilly and rainy Göteborg in late November, but it’s good and I’d like to try it again on a nice summer day.
