3.7 Bottle. Hazy orange body with a nice big white head. Fruity aroma hops, citrus and pine, flowery, with spicy yeast notes. Taste is wheaty with clove, orange and grapefruit, mild banana, fresh fruity finish with a pleasant bitterness. A nice crossover between a hefeweizen and an hoppy pale ale.
3.2 Bottle shared at ChrisO. Hazy yellow color, full sized soapy white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, decently hoppy, lightly citrussy, nicely fruity, moderately bitter. Medium body, a bit fizzy carbonation.
3.0 Denna här va rätt okej måste jag säga. Riktigt fräsch och fin. Dom kan ibland.
4.0 Bottle from Saveur-Biere.com - Color: hazy pale blond beer with small carbonation and medium white foam. Smell: hoppy and malty nose with grass and citrus notes. Taste: amazing balance of malt and hops. Good fresh hoppy notes as citrus and grass. Aftertaste: nice sweet bitterness and malty presence.
3.6 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a enormous lasting frothy white head. Aroma is citrus, spruce, toasted malt, orange, mild grass and tropical fruit. Taste is light sweet and light+ bitter. Body is near medium, texture is oily, carbonation is great (moderate+). Finish is long, dry, bitter and hoppy with hints of clove. Refreshing and fine drinkability.
3.8 On bottle at Sandar mikro bryggeri. Pale golden color , good foam. Nice hops, good fruitiness , some citrus. Medium body & complexity. Well balanced . Very enjoyable
4.0 Misty golden body and big bubbly head. Very interesting hoppy yet wheat aroma. This usually doesn?t work, I think, but these brewers proved me wrong. Very nice citrus but also floral hops, together with a big carbonation and wheat base typical of Hefes. (33cl bottle from Saveur Bière)
4.2 Bottle 330 ml with a nice label, poured into a weizen glass at home, thanks goes to Nisse666! ABV 6.4% Deep honey orange colour on the body, a bit hazy, with a two fingers tall white and thick head, withgreat retention. Intense and continuous activity in the glass. What an aroma, I have the glass about 30 cm away while I’m typing and can smell it from there, lots of citrus, a bit funky, tropical fruits, lots of hops. Taste is also very hoppy and refreshing, again citrus, grapefruit, orange peels, very bitter and it even builts up on the aftertaste. Some yeast is the only that reminds of a hefeweizen, well, maybe some wheat too, but very difficult to note under all the hops. Medium thin body, good carbonation. Great beer, surely not what you expect from a hefe.
3.6 330ml bottle from djoeye, many thanks. Frothy, pearl white head with fine duration and lacing. Cloudy orange-gold body. Mid-dry smell of citrus hops. Flavours of malted wheat added by a good punch of fruity hops, taste of peach and mango, as well as mild spices. Lingering dry bitter tail. Fine bodied, soft and refreshing (Tromsø 30.05.2014).
3.6 Hazy dirt colour with a nice head. Aroma of citrus, hops and elderflower. Some grassy and bitter notes. Taste of citrus, hops and elderflower. Notes of earth and grass. Dry, bitter hops. Some tropical fruit. Bitter yet refreshing. Good mouthfeel.
3.3 Bottle 330ml. [ As Siren / Omnipollo / Rick Gordon Lindqvist Näcken ]. Murky matt medium orange color with a average, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, wheat, moderate hoppy, orange - citrus, moderate yeasty. Flavour is moderate sweet and light bitter with a long duration, fruity, yeasty, wood, dry. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20140217]
3.8 Fint bra skum. Doftar citrus. Grumlig av bara tusan. Smakar lite mer humle än en vanlig tysk weissbier.
4.1 Bottle from Erzbierschof - Hazy pale yellow color with a thick white head fully lasting and beautiful lacing - Aroma is fruity, fresh hops, citrusy, grapfruit, passion fruits, Orange - Flavor is wheaty, orange, mango, resinous, bready yeast - medium body, fizzy carbonation, medium bitterness, creamy, fruity bitter finish - Wahoo surprisingly good, refreshing easy drinkable, good idea and well brewed
3.3 Bottled. Pours hazy, yellow with a large off-white head. Aroma of straw, peachy notes, citrus and caramel. Sweet flavor that ends up more dry. Medium bodied, watery texture and soft carb. A nice Hefe.
3.5 Hazy orange color with a small white head. The nose is full of yeast, malt, little citrus and hops. The taste is grassy, and flavors like wheat, caramel and some tropical fruit. Very nice in a hot summers day.
3.9 Flaska 33 cl från systembolaget. Ljusbrun ej klar dryck med stort vitt skum som snabbt försvinner. Doft av smörkola, örter och apelsinskal. Tydlig beska och en sprudlande torr munkänsla. Smak av torrt gräs och blommor.
2.4 Bottle from systembolaget, Sweden. Big and lasting white head. Piny hop aroma. A bit fart bitterness. Low maltiness and body.
3.6 Keg the craven arms Birmingham. Hazy orange colour no head. Aroma is tropical orange. Taste is tropical some yeast spicey notes good hoppy bitter finish. Medium body nice mouthfeel prickly carbonated. Good stuff.
4.0 Keg@craven arms, birmingham. Very hazy orange amber beer with head around the rim. Aroma of wheat and some cloves. Taste is hops, banana, citrus and some spice. Full bodied and chewy. Very good.
2.3 330ml bottle, Best Before 31/11/2014. I just cannot seem to get past the immensely yeasty notes on the aroma for this one. Baker’s yeast, not brewer’s yeast. Somewhere beyond, there are notes of hops, spruce, citrus peel, cloves, phenols and caramel. Dry, medium body and bitterness, balanced CO2. Yeasty, harsh taste, hops, resin, earth, lemon peel, phenols, cloves. The finish dries up incredibly, and leaves my palate begging for mercy. A taste of yeast and burnt popcorn lingers. Rated, and then poured out. (2014-05-01)
3.6 Some of my favourite new world hops in there giving this the citrus bitterness of an IPA. And they work well in a weiss beer. Well composed.
2.4 Bottle from Kirk, thank you! Best by 2/28, whoops. Pour is outrageously foamy, half murky amber beer and half head. Aroma is pleasant but definitely Brett-y/infected: grain, salty black olive, cloves, Belgian pale ale-style hoppiness. Taste brings to mind Orval with more bitterness and banana notes and again that odd black-olive character. Some volatile plastic-y notes. Harsh hop bitterness. Clearly past its prime and oddly transformed.
3.8 330 ml bottle. Cloudy golden with big fluffy white head. Smell is sour citrus and hops. Some fruit sweetness grass and a hoppy finish.
3.9 Pours golden foggy colour wroth thin white head. The aroma is a mix of hops citrus and belgian. The taste is rather belgian with hops. Actually tastes really belgian hoppy beer, reminds me the duvel double hops somehow with a kind of sweaty smell. Good beer anyhow! !
3.4 Big fluffy head. Flowery sragrance. Dark golden hazy, bottom residue. Flavor is hoppy but very little yeast. Herbal and grassy tones.
3.9 Pours murky gold with LARGE pillowy white head. Some excellent lacing. Aroma is zesty grapefruit, lemon peel, pine, menthol. Smells like a hoppy IPA. Traditional hefe qualities - wheat, clove and banana - seem to be suppressed. Well carbonated. Lemon, grapefruit, menthol quality still abounds. Dry. Grasping bitterness is moreish. Nice. But certainly a distinct variation on a hefe.
2.7 Draught at Euston Tap, London on 28 February 2014. Poured a cloudy ochre colour with a small halo of white head. Aroma freshly cut grass, grain and a mild note of something that almost resembled mothballs. Flavours were similarly hoppy and quite dry, some bitter citrus in the mix. Finish was slightly astringent hop bitterness, mixed with more dry wheat.
3.9 Bottle. Cloudy golden colour with a white head. Very nice IPA/weissen mix. Tropical, citrusy, spicy, yeasty, a bit of alcohol. Bitter finish. Tasty!
3.9 Bottle from trade with Nisse666, many thanks. Hazy orange golden color with thick long lasting frothy white head. Wheat, yeast piney hops in aroma. Fruity taste with wheat yeast, citrus hops. Long hoppy bitter finish. Not your usual Weizen, but overall tasty.
3.5 2-finger (or more if U like) off white head, hazy deep golden body, totally unclear, stripy lacings. Grapefruit, resin, citrus, peaches, coriander, to the nose. Spicy wheat malts to the tongue, along with almonds, caramel, yeast, leather, malt candy, herbs. Full speed to palate, well bodied, well balancing between the bitter and the sweet stuff. Surprisingly bitter along with the playing wheat malts, but "Hopfenweizen" written below Näcken explains it, as Witbier-IPA, I think. 33cl brown bottle 6.4%abv b@Systembolaget, brought back home, tasted@home.
