3.6 hazy dark amber to mahogany colour, one incgh of beautiful creamy beige-ish head; aroma banana, toasted bready notes, wheat, some caramel and hints of dried cherry and plum like notes; taste of caramel, banana, bready notes and some dried fruits; good one

2.7 Bottle 500 ml. Dark amber color, slightly yellowish foam. Aroma: caramel, a little banana and wheat. Light taste, banana, caramel slightly, slightly watery, expected more tasty beer.

3.2 Swing - top 0.5 l bottle. This beer is representing its category quite well. Pleasant aroma and taste. Nice surprise indeed.

3.3 Light caramel colour and flavours. Sweet and light but a very nice overall ale. A good quaffer and not too over powering.

2.7 Bottle from Munich Airport. Short light grey head. Clowdy solid Brown color. Mild wheat aroma with some banana bit just a touch. Sweet banana taste with a thin body and low bitterness. Rather typical south German weiss.

2.9 Bottle, bb 10/18. Brown with a 1/2 inch beige head. Very restrained aroma of rye bread. Light bodied - let's go with refreshing rather than verging on watery. Bready and spicy with light roasty flavours and cloves, coriander at the very slightly bitter finish. Complacent.

3.3 Dark brown color, huge white head. Aroma of wheat, caramel, sour fruits, spices. Dry light sweet taste, light bitterness. Thin body and average carbonation. Mild and refreshing beer.

3.0 most beautiful fountain of youth and beer was flowing upon the cap was removed from the bottle, now this beer has a dual purpose not only I got beer but room air freshener too, as everything is covered in it! Anyway, it is a murky brown colour with small off-white foam. Aromas, sweet of rye bread, with a slight hint of acidity but just very slight, the same amount you get in fresh rye bread also has some caramel and banana peel notes as well as a touch of vanilla and honey. Palate, medium/light body with thin-ish texture leaving somewhat bready finish. Taste, sweet of rye bread, again slight acidic zing as well as notes of cloves and bananas. Overall, fairly plain, but not bad either drinkable but could be more!

3.8 Bottle from Malt Traders at Southbank on 29 September 2017. Looks full bodied in the glass and this is exactly what you get in the mouth. Malty with a sweetish flavour - easy beer to drink and finishes with a caramel aftertaste.

3.1 From bottle. Transfer of an earlier rating without text recorded, rating only.

3.2 bottle bb 24/4/18 ambrato carico velata bona schiuma piuttosto persistente non molti esteri burro leggere note tostate toffe note pepate

3.2 From a 500ml bottle on 2/9/2017. Pours brown with a small head. Has a mild nose of clove and banana. Flavour wise, there's mild caramel and roasted malt, typical wheat notes, including more clove and banana, and finished off by a mild, slightly sour, spicy bitterness. Medium bodied with quite lively carbonation. Not bad if a little messy.

2.9 Deep, tawny chestnut body and misty just from the small amount of yeast in the bottle. Big, tight head of tanned foam that lasts and laces well. Cinnamon spiced apple and fresh baked banana bread hits the nose first. From there on it cedes notes of cow-pat, damp loam, stewed rhubarb and plums, and plastic-like phenols. Effervescent but light on the palate. Dowdy, drabby malts dominate. Sour malt sides and lastingly so. Quite nutty, bready and yeasty with a good amount of clove-like and plastic-like phenols. Low banana but it mostly tastes of overcooked, caramelised banana cake in the finish. Mild chocolate note. Dry and sour overall but has enough yeast and malt nuances to pick it up. Not bad, not great!!! (50cL, BB 20/04/18, The Beer Store, Jandakot)

2.9 Block head misty red brown pour strong carbonation aromas brown sugar sweet grain sugar cane note the flavours slightly sour raw sugar note sweet grain the wheat herbal some banana a bit watery on the palate have tasted better it is sour watery not good

2.8 Kolor czerwono-brązowy, ładna piana. Zapach: skórka od chleba i lekki pumpernikiel. Piwo kwaśne ale przyjemne, coś a la kwas chlebowy.

3.1 Chestnut brown, hazy, tall beige head. The aroma is dark malts, yeast, fruit. Light body. Yeasty taste provides notable fruity sourness. Additional caramel, roast, spice. Mediocre by style standards. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

3.2 Bottle sample at a tasting at Tom L’s place. Thanks zvikar. Cloudy amber-brown. Fruity esters, malt, caramel, yeast, bread, light spiciness, sweetish, a bit of tartness, medium-bodied. Decent.

3.0 At Tom’s Place, pours brown with a beige head, aroma of chocolate, malt, yeast, banana, flavor of malt, chocolate, yeast, medium bodied

3.2 Bottle, 500ml. Part of the German Invasion. Murky brown beer with a medium size brown head. Aroma is of dried fruits. Taste is modertaley bitter with a roasted character and some carbonation.

3.2 Bottle, 500ml. Opaque reddish with a foamy offwhite head. Aromas of roasted malts, dried fruits. Medium bodied, moderate to fizzy carbonation. Roasted and fruity flavors with a smoked undertone.

3.1 50cl bottle poured into a shaker. Beer #4 of 4 from a gift pack from Munich Airport and shared on 28-Aug-2016 near Lastra a Signa .Hazy amber colour with a medium sized white head which quickly disippates. Aroma of spices, whear and sweet fruit. Light body and medium carbonation. Taste of banana, cloves and wheat. A little sour with a bittersweet finush.

2.8 Bottle. 500ml 0,79 €. Purvino vandens spalva, neilgai išliekanti puta.. skonis šiaip sau...

4.0 From Hipercor. In Bavaria glass. After dinner. Reading Lupuloadicto. Great mouthfeel and a nice taste. This brewery seems to never fail me

4.1 Typowe piwo dla Niemiec, niedostępne w Polsce, a szkoda. Ciemne pszeniczne, w zwyczajnej butelce. Obfita piana, kolor złocisty, niewielki osad. Generalnie bardzo dobre piwo, orzeźwia, pijalne, do polecenia.

3.2 Pours a murky brown color with medium tan head. Aroma has bread, toasted malts, banana, clove and a slightly acidity. Taste follows the nose, overriped banana, clove, yeast, sweet malts, bredy/biscuitiness and again, a minimal sour trace.

3.0 Marrón castaña, de no demasiada espuma, ocre. Aroma malteado, tostado, notas mínimamente acidas. Cuerpo ligero y bien de gas, de paso fácil. Agradable sabor, tostado y equilibrado con tonos frutales y punto ácido.

2.6 Bottle. Pours brown with a white head. It is a typical German dunkelweien - banana, cloves in aroma (although not very intensive), taste is wheat malt, less banana, more cloves, slightly toasted, bready. In general average, but my bottle could be not very fresh.

2.7 Bottle. Pours brown with small head. Aroma is mainly clove with hint of toasted malt and banana. In taste medium sweet, toasted with banana and clove. Light body, high carbonation, light bitterness. In overall too much clove in my opinion, but still decent.

2.8 500ml bottle. Pours brown with a large cream coloured head. Aroma of wheat, roasted notes, cherries. Taste is chocolate, wheat, dark fruits.

3.4 Bottle 0.5 l, Intermarché, Zielona Góra, Poland Brązowe, mętne piwo z jasnobeżową, obfitą, puszystą i sztywną ale trochę zbyt szybko opadającą pianą oraz słodowym, owocowym aromatem. W smaku słodowe, z suszonymi owocami na głównym planie oraz bananami i pszenicą w tle, niestety całość trochę mdła.
