Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Pours pale yellow, slightly cloudy, big, dense head. Lacing that clings thickly to the side of the glass. Strong aroma of lemon and banana. Thin but rich body, a little dry. Well balanced taste, slightly sweet, very subtle, some banana and wheat, but other flavors are hard to pick out. A very mild hop aftertaste.

(bottle): Pours a cloudy yellow body. Huge foamy white head,.creamy & lasting. Some fruity esters, some spice like clove. Some heaviness in the aroma. Fruity banana-like taste. Somewhat watery, but definately not weak.

50 cl bottle. Hopheads´ tasting 22. august. Hazy yellowish color, fine white head. Aroma is banana, wheat, spices and yeast. Flavor is the same. Nice weissbier, but not as fantastic as the score indicates.

Poured from a 500ml bottle and served in a weizen glass. This beer poured a cloudy golden orange hue with a thick head of slowly fading white fizz. A small amount of slippery lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of flaked wheat, ripe bananas, and a stong note of spicy clove. The flavor consisted of mild banana and some lightly spicy yeast. Everything that the nose displayed seemed muted or toned down a notch. The mouthfeel was crisp and light-bodied with moderate carbonation. Refreshing and highly drinkable, but as far as hefes go, this was pretty average.
