(Bottle) Pours orange. Incense and banana aroma with some light notes of cloves, bread, bubblegum, fruit and flowers. Small hoppy notes. Wheat-ish flavour with notes of clove, banana and light citrus. Sharp carbonation but rather soft and light mouthfeel with a light metallic sting. Light to medium body.

(50 cl bottle from Hemköp) Banana estery wheat beer scent, though perhaps a bit thin. Shady golden color, thick creamy white head. Acidic and banana taste. Spritzy mouthfeel. Low bitterness.

Bottled. Hazy orange colour, big nature beige head. Aroma is wheat, citrus, fruits and banana. Flavour is the same, but very watered out feeling. Also some hayish notes are present in flavour.

Bottled (BB 02/2007). Hazy dark orangy, good creamy off-white head. Light sweet banana esters in the aroma and some metallic hints. Very light and watery hefeweizen, light banana notes. Also metallic.

Bottled. Light golden coloured. Hazy. Dense off white head. Aroma of light yeast, light banana and vague spice. Flavour as well is light and quite bland. Yeast and banana is notable. Light citric and yndoubtedly wheaty. Very thin bodied, and hasn’t much to offer in the long run. Uninteresting and not comparable with the fantastic Weihenstephaner Hefe.

50 cl bottle. Cloudy golden colour with a white creamy head. Aroma of yeast and some bread-like. Very light body but still noteable of hefe-weissen, very okey flavour for a light version.

(Bottle 50 cl) Hazy, pilsener golden with a white head. Distinct aroma of bananas. Medium-bodied with good, classic Hefe esters: fruit like citrus and banana. This could almost pass for a genuine Hefe, and it’s definitely one of the better Hefe Leicht I’ve evr had. 160806

[Bottled] Cloudy pale orange, small head. Obvious banana aroma. Lighlty estery but also sadly thin and metallic. Hints of banana and bread. The empty mouthfeel makes it less refreshing than it’s bigger cousin.

Bottle. Hazy yellow coloured with a white head. Sweet aroma of bananas, fruits and malts. Flavour of bananas, fruits and malts. A bit watery.

Bottle. Citric aroma, some banana. Cloudy orange colour. Big white head, quite stable. The flavour is more or less like mineral water, but with some banana and wheat in the aftertaste. Not bad tasting, but of course too thin.
