4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 DougShoemaker (3148) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 7, 2002
Heavy scent of wheat. Cloudy bronze colour. Wheat, malt and spices. Tingles the tongue, almost thick enough to chew, like soft bread. A true marriage of complexity.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 estoppel (1028) - Buffalo, New York, USA - APR 5, 2002
Huge fluffy head, medium amber, cloudy. Lacks the creamy banana finish of the Paulaner, but quite good.

The thing a surprised me the most was the murky orange colour. Looked almost like an iced tea. Had a nice creamy head that lasted right until the end. I will buy this beer again.

One of the best German wheat beers I’ve had, which is a style I tend to stay away from.

Orange brew with tones of banana and solvent (thinner-like) in the nose. Banana and yeast and some alcohol in the flavor.
Not a top-weissen.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Ducati (37) - Windsor, Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAR 22, 2002
Spicy, hint of bubble gum, clove, vanilla, good esters but not the usual banana (isoamyl acetate). Light amber in color. Thin bodied with some tartness & a dry finish. A nice beer, I have always liked the diversity of hefe-weizens.

Typical German Wheat beer. They all taste the same. A good beer though
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Ernest (5627) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - MAR 10, 2002
UPDATED: DEC 1, 2007 Head is initially huge, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting. Body is hazy medium amber, bottle conditioned. Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, caramel, toasted bread), lightly yeasty (cobwebs), with notes of banana, orange, and clove. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Rather inconsistent in the States, it seems...sometimes there’s very little head upon pouring, and the aroma is often light and unflattering, and there’s frequently hard little chunks at the bottom (like grains of dirt, rather than yeast). I’ve just tried it at the brewpub in Munich, and it’s about a 3.6 there as well.
