look: 3 smell: 4 taste: 4.5 feel: 4 overall: 4 A - Pours a hazy sunset orange with a white head that creates thin lacing and descent retention. S - Peppery banana, clove, stone fruit, dense wheat malt, acidic fruit. T - Hints of apple cider, cinnamon, banana, clove, bubblegum, stone fruit, very clean wheat malts, light pepper, with a kiss of citrus. The pepper comes out more on the finish. M - Medium body, fluffy feel. Super tasty German beer. A poetic marriage of flavors with a peppery hint on the finish. Awesome!...This is what I expect out of this brewery every time.

Exelente cerveja. Seus sabores são distintos e pontuais. Sente-se o doce dos maltes e um final levemente picante. Apesar de ser de trigo, têm uma identidade própria.

Una cerveza verdaderamente increíble! Aroma exquisito, lo más obvio es el plátano maduro pero también se intuyen albaricoque, melocotón y cierto peso de la levadura así como el alcohol. De color anaranjado brillante, y de espuma densa y esponjosa, presenta en boca un gran cuerpo acompañado por un dulzor muy compensado con el amargo del alcohol, que armoniza el final del trago. Perfecta como postre, como acompañamiento de comida o simplemente para disfrutarse sola, toda una maravilla.

Poured from a 16.9 oz. bottle into a Weihenstephaner Vitus chalice. Vitus pours a dark and cloudy golden straw color. A frothy off-white foam matures gracefully as I pour the bottle, never quite reaching the cusp of the glass. The nose on this is like an imperial version of their hefeweizen - bold and crisp (at least by 500 year old German brewing standards), with a bouquet of banana, clove, and light fruity esters. No dark fruit in this Weizenbock, though. Banana sweetness and clove spiciness really dominate the flavor of this beer. A syrupy honey sweetness comes into play first, with the banana and clove coming in next, and then there is a long, slow finish as the beer tries to diminish the sweetness. The finish is a bit drier than the start, but it is still a rather sweet beer. There is a light and crisp feel to the beer from the carbonation with a little bit of syrupy sweetness on the back end. Overall the mouthfeel is very clean, though. There is no residual sweetness on the lips or tongue after each sip. I think the regular Hefeweizen is the better beer; it still packs a flavor punch but has a lower ABV and the mouthfeel is a bit superior. Still, it is not surprising that this beer is quite drinkable. I could have a few glasses of this anytime.

Bottle, 50cl, Mitra Nijmegen. Had this with friends as digestif at a vegan dinner party. Smells dark put pours pale golden with a small head. Tastes of pancakes with vanilla and raspberries, banana. A bit too sweet for me now I’ve tasted more darker beers and come to appreciate them.

Spices, mostly cloves mixed with banana with a lemon flavor on the linings of the flavor. Beautiful palate and a beautiful head. Was expecting it to be very drinkable, but the beer is so good it lets you know you are drinking a 7.7 percent beer.

Pours a hazy gold with a bubbly white head. Smells light with hints of citrus. Slightly crisp taste with traces of banana. A refreshing brew. Good for a hot day. Very nice.

Goudblond, mooie kleur. Aroma lijkt op pittige bakbanaan, wordt sterker naarmate temperatuur. Smaak is tikje honing, met een wat kruidige smaak. Mondgevoel is met name wat koolzuur en wat droog.

Fra fat på Tap1 mai-13: du salige katt for en herlig hveteølaroma! Nellik og banan i harmoni. Flott skum, passe uklar og med en smak og munnfylde som ønsker sommeren velkommen! En sterk klassiker.
