3.6 Blond bier met voldoende koolzuur. Geur bloesem, hooi, muffig. Smaak graan, citrus, bloesem, kruiden, vanille, water. Fris lwaterig mondgevoel. Nasmaak graan, citrus, kruidig, licht zoet. Verfrissend bier met lichte smaken wat goed in balans is en makkelijk drinkt.

3.3 I'm pretty surprised. This beer is really good. It reminds me of some excellent examples of the Hefeweizen style.

3.1 It comes with a yellow-orange color, hazy body, good carbonation and two fingers white head. Cloves aroma is predominant, but you can feel some spicies, wheat, banana and smoked too. Quite watery, not too sweet, with weak taste of cloves and smoky. Quite drinkable and refreshing. Aftertaste is kinda weak, a bit clovy, cereals, wheat and yeast.

2.1 13/I/19 - 50cl bottle @ Akke’s place, BB: 31/VII/19 - (2019-81) Thanks to Akke for sharing the bottle! Pretty cloudy yellow beer, small creamy yellow head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: malty, cookies, sulphur, some overripe banana, bit off. MF: ok carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sourish start, dirty, infected, sulphur, banana, bah. Aftertaste: banana flavoured candy, sugary, sulphur, very dirty.

2.7 hazy pale yellow colour, minimal, quickly disappearing white head; aroma of wet wheat, some lemony and slight banana notes; taste of banana, lemony and bread drust notes, maybe some cloves too; not so bad but definitely very far from being a perfect weizen

3.3 Bouteille 0,5l. Aspect : dorée et mousse blanche. Nez : malt, clou de girofle, pain, épices. Bouche fraîche, biscuit, un peu de citron et de banane, du grain. Faible carbonatation, petite amertume, pas mal épicée, peu de corps.

2.5 Bügelverschlußflasche öffnet mit gewehrschußartigem Knall. Honigfarben, trüb mit stabilem weißem Schaum. Leicht säuerlicher Geruch nach Zitrusfrüchten und Weißwein. Spritziger Antrunk mit aktiver Kohlensäure. Schlanker Körper mit Hang zur Wässrigkeit. Wenig Hefe, wenig Malz. Aromatisch flach mit säuerlichem Unterton. Schmeckt wie ein kalorienreduziertes „Leichtes“. Die schöne Verpackung verspricht mehr...

3.1 Divino Cellars bottle (25-Sep-18) Sweet banana aroma. Cloudy amber colour, ok head and suds lacing. Sweet banana herbal flavour. Banana herbal spice finish and sweet banana yeast aftertaste.

3.4 God, men noget ordinær weissbier. Dejlig frisk øl med tilpas bitterhed. Savner lidt aroma.

2.9 Bottle from Munich airport. Big and lasting white head. Opaque solid yellow color. A bit too much banana aroma. Sweet fruity banana taste with low bitterness and medium body.

3.2 On tap at Stein's in Richmond, hazy gold with a light spiced banana nose. Body is soft, thin and mildly spicy, with light lemony tartness.

3.0 Light colour with very little head. Astringent but sweet notes of the usual banana and cloves.

2.8 500ml bottle from Metro, drunk at home. Pours hazy with a thin fast-settling frothy head, medium lacing, no bead. Aroma of banana and cloves. In the mouth, some sourness from the first sip, thin bodied, some banana and clove flavours with notes of cereal, high carbonation typical of the style, mild bitterness. Overall, refreshing and drinkable, but a bit sour and thin, and definitely below average for the style.

3.2 500 ml bottle. Cloudy yellow color with average white head. Smells nice banana and pineapple with wheat . Taste are a bit sour yeast with classic wheat and banana and pineapple notes. This is a bit sour hefe but nice in taste. Aftertaste are are pineapple and bananas with a bit spices. Refreshing hefe

3.8 Cloudy yellow colour, big white head. Aroma of wheat, cloves, banana, apples. Sour sweet taste. Thin to medium body, strong carbonation. Nice wheat beer, very drinkable.

2.0 Tasteless beer

3.6 500ml Flasche. Naturtrüb, orangefarben und mit kleiner Schaumkrone. Hefig, süffig. Durchschnittlicher Körper. Lecker!

3.1 Poured a cloudy pale yellow with a huge bright white frothy head that retained very well but laced poorly. Carbonation low, slow and fine. Aroma typical Weiss bier - cloves, sweet banana, bubble-gum. Taste is sweet banana with hints of cloves, bubble-gum and maybe a touch metallic. Light body. Smooth and crisp with a thin mouthfeel and sweetness and cloves on a moderately long finish.

3.0 Bottle. Pale cloudy orange with a white head that fades to a cm. Aroma is bready with cloves and banana. Decent body but little spicy or lemony zing to lift it makes it a little tiresome before the half litre is gone. .

3.6 Into a weizen glass at just on chilled. Looks the goods with a looming plume of white that rises a good inch from the brim. The body a highly effervescent, hazy dull gold. Nose of vanilla icecream, soft banana candies, fudge caramel and clove-like spice. On the palate it is rounded, creamy and sweet with a lasting banana/icecream thickshake flavour that dominates. Light clove, light hint of mace with a little pear drop candy for good measure. Not much else here but it drinks so damn easily that I just managed to relax and enjoy it. A great wheat beer!!! (50cL, BB 20/04/18, The Liquor Shed, Jandakot)

3.1 Bottle from Greenslopes Cellars on 19 October 2017. Clear amber colour with a big fluffy white head that I was expecting. Flavourful enough with some banana and clove in there. Good beer for a hot day.

3.1 Not a great beer but not bad

3.1 500 ml bottle. Cloudy gold with a tightly packed white head. Lemon, pepper and bubblegum on the nose. Banana, lemon and a floral note on tasting it. A little aqueous but delivers classic weissbier flavours. Would certainly have this again.

3.2 Off white foamy full lasting head. Cloudy honey colour. Aroma is malty, citrusy with apple, pear and banana notes. Flavor is malty too with banana and apple tones, ending in a moderately fruity finish. Light to medium bodied.

2.6 Jasne nieprzejrzyste, mętne.piany brak. Aromat skórki od banana i starej cytryny. Smak jasnego pieczywa, bananów i jogurtu wanilinowego. Nawet daje redę ale bez rewelacji.

3.0 Pours hazy honey yellow with a frothy white head. The aroma promises bubblegum and banana, Hints of leather. Taste is overall banana sweet with a light lemon tartness that arises going into the finish. Body is light and a bit watery. Average carbonation. Overall it goes down very easy and remains refreshing, but is also entirely forgettable.

3.1 Bottle. Cloudy honey ochre. Tall white head. Yeasty nose. Phenols, lollipop, marmalade, spice. Light body. Semidry taste wheat malts, fruit, yeast. Low bitterness. Mediocre Hefe. -- rated with beerbasher/winphone

2.5 At a tasting, thanks, smallish bubbly head, quite hazy yellow color, aroma of sour fruit, almond and spicy yeast, strong almond aroma, quite strong sourness, a bit coarse. Fair, but a bit too old.

3.1 Bottle sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks zvikar. Cloudy yellow. Aroma of wheat, banana, citrus. Slightly sweetish flavor with a tart hint, fruity esters, light spicy note. Easy-drinking.

3.0 At a tasting, thanks! Cloudy yellow with a big white head. Aroma of fruity esters, clove, flowers. Sweetish, fruity, floral, spicy, slightly oxidized, a bit sour and vegetal. Medium-bodied, lively carbonation. Ok.
