2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is very wheaty with some sour notes. The flavor sweet wheaty with notes of lemon and banana - on a sour wheaty background.

The foreign beer bar had quite a selection of rare (for the UK at least) Austrian beers. This was a pretty decent wheat beer with the usual banana esters and citric accents. Refreshing. Rauchbier and I accidentally bought another bottle the next day because it was listed under Sigl, but that isn’t obvious from the label. Bottled at GBBF 2004.

Bottled. A hazy golden coloured beer which has a nice large white head on pouring but it disappears in a jiffy which is a shame. The aroma is huge bananas and a touch of spice. The taste is more banana and a little lemon. Quite dry and reasonably full bodied. A good effort.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
330ml bottle (Stockmann, Tallinn)
5+ without yeast, just a few spikes of bananaey esters. With all the yeast, it’s mellowed, but less interesting, and in fact rather dull.
3 You could pour this clear if you wanted to, but if you swirl the bottle, you get a hazy pale orange with quite a bit of sinky chunks, a bit off-puting.
5+ Fairly dull weizen taste. Pre-swirling, it was prety OK estery krystalweizen. After adding the yeast, it’s breadier, and the banana is again more rounded and mellowed. do prefer the latter.
3 Crisp carbonation, a refreshin g but full palate. Finish quite bready, and with an OK bitter bite, but there’s no fullness to the hops, no aromaticity. But even the bite’s better than nothing.
11 Sounds worse than it was. It was pretty acceptable, but lacking the wow a good hefe can bring.

Bottle. Nice wheat. Lots of banana esters, wheaty (duh?). Like the finish, off dry, lemony, with some tartness, well made i thought, tasty.

Draughft in Salzburg, Austria. Very dry and frothy. A lively minerally start leads to a bitter bubblegum. Interesting!
