Grossecaisse (108), France Jan 20, 2009
TaxiDriver (908), Stadland, Germany Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. A sweet smell, only light yeast and citrus. The white creamy head is rather small with a normal duration. The body is light cloudy and orange. The taste is light bitter with a normal duration, not so pleasant. The beer is light with much carbonation and a light astringent finish. hayduke (1619), Eureka, California, USA Jan 18, 2009 Another $2.69 bottle from BevMo this poured a nice cloudy yellow with a good white head and great lacing. Nose of of banana and citrus. Really nice clean mouthfeel. Flavors mirror the nose. This is an outstanding hefe. mjholla82 (3), Ohio, USA does not count Jan 17, 2009 This is one of my favorite beers, it has a great flavor with a slightly dark cloudy yellow color. Very easy to drink and always good. Bottle Beardface (977), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jan 15, 2009 Murky golden pour with a thick white head that evaporates very slowly. Bubblegum aroma with some nice banana scent as well. Flavor similar but a little bit more banana than bubblegum maybe with a nice carbonated kick to it. Probably the best hefe I have ever drank. TheJollyOne (203), Kofu, Japan Jan 11, 2009 Hazy gold body over tall white head. Nice smell of sausage and light yeast, you can tell its not an overly sweet version of the style. Taste is citrus and breads, some clove. Light on the palate, fizzy with medium finish of bread dough. I prefer something sweeter, but this will do nicely. GMCC2181 (845), Bear, Delaware, USA Jan 10, 2009 Bottle. Bright orange, good head. Nice citrus orange aroma. Little lemon and banana it there as well. Taste has a nice spicyness to it for a hefe. Classic banana earthy taste. Bread like, maybe even a touch of some hops in the back-ground. Texture is light but not watery. Little carbonation bubbles while in your mouth. Overall great beer...I wouldnt expect anything else from the worlds oldest brewery davidpl (435), Santiago, Chile Jan 10, 2009 bottle bought in Systembolaget - Stockholm.
Appearance: cloudy yellow color. Great head, compact, lasting, a little rocky and with good adherence at glass.
Aroma: fresh wheaty and yeasty smells. Clear banana reminiscences, also to cookies, cake, vanilla, gun, toffee and slight citrus notes.
Flavor: sweet wheaty start that persist right to the end. Slightly citrus note. Fresh yeasty progress with hints of toffee, banana, vanilla, custard and lemon cookies. I can to remember the dessert of banana with palm-tree’s honey and the natural orange-banana juice.
Palate: medium body and semi-creamy texture. Medium carbonation.
Remark: refreshing with very nice yeasty and banana notes, but slightly sweety unbalance. Drinkable.
