Bottle. Pours a yellow-orange colour with a white head. Aroma is some perfumy yeasy, citrus, wheat and some herbs. Flavour is well-balanced and very mild wih some sweetness. Lots of wheat, some yeast, citrus and banana and a hint of malts. Very good indeed and presumably a perfect beer to go with lighter foods.

does not count  Oct 9, 2008 Tasty hefe, not too sweet, not too strong. A bit heady when poured, smooth going down. Fairly mellow overall and damn enjoyable. Not too expensive either for an import.

Oct 9, 2008 Bottled. Huge, floffy and creamy head is white. Pours hazy yellow to orange. Warm aroma of wheaty banana and sourish yeast. Spicy sharpness is also detectable. Flavor is sweetish malty with increasing sourness and dryness towards the finish. There´s also mild bitteration in the finish. Palate is creamy smooth and moderately carbonated. Medium bodied.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle: Deep golden, hazy with a firm almost creamy white head; very solid sweet-fruity (oranges, lemons) nose with some phenolic, yeasty and wheaty undertones; medium bodied; robust sweet-sourish flavour with a tinge of bitterness; moderate sweet-fruity-wheaty finish, balanced by bitterness and tartness in the aftertaste. First-class Weizen.........

This is one of my favourite hefe-weizens. However, I was pretty boozed up by the time I decided to knock this one back, and it wasn’t refreshing enough for me. The aroma was the usual toffee and banana, but the palate was sticky, and the taste was so packed full of caramel it was simply not crisp enough. I’ll have no problem rerating this in the future though.

Oct 3, 2008 Very tasty brew. Cloudy golden yellow color. Decently spicy (clove and yeast) with a very lemony flavor. Hint of banana as well. Smooth and well balanced. Has a tingling tartness. Yeast/spice flavors in the after taste; fairly dry finish. Mmmmm.
