| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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 (855), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | 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
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | 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. mirjukka (702), LOHJA, Finland

Huge puffy head, hangs around a long time.
S: Cloves, bready, citrus.
T: Big spice, cloves, banannas, orange. A bit of a hop spice near the back.
M: Super clean, and smooth. Spicyness stays until the next sip, but, while drinking this, it is normally not too long between sips!
D: Fantastic. Just as good during a clold winter night, as it is during a hot summer day.
This is the world’s standard, for Hefe’s. Hands down.
