sayravai (2964), Helsinki, Finland May 4, 2008 (Bottled) Opaque orange with a smallish, white head. Felt like some diacetyl after pouring, but it vanished quickly, leaving a typical weizen aroma with some vanilla hints - but came back again after a few minutes. A bit stuffy, straightforward flavor of some dried-fruity wheat and hints of coriander. Light to medium-bodied with medium carbonation. Seemed like this bottle was not at its best.
Dedollewaitor (1793), Odense, Denmark Jun 7, 2008 50cl bottle. Pours a lovely hazy orange with a full white head & lacings. Aroma & taste is banana, wheat & citrus. Nice balance between sweet & sour. Round & soft mouthfeel! Great Hefeweizen! SaintMatty (306), Tallinn, Estonia May 22, 2008 500ml Bottle (Poseidon, Helsinki) - Hazy golden in colour with a hint of orange. Spicy, grainy aroma with a hint of banana. Banana also features in the smooth taste along with a hint of spice. Goes down very well indeed. FatPhil (1853), Espoo, Finland May 11, 2008 500ml bottle (William K, Helsinki)
Cloudy deep orange, healthy white head. Sweet estery aroma - not just the usual banana - quite cerealy - a little weetabix. Quite lively in the mouth, but a lovely creaminess smothers the tongue very quickly. Creamy body, slight vanilla-fudge taste, light grains. Not outstanding in any way, but very good in every way. Very pleasant hoppy finish too. oh6gdx (4966), Vaasa, Finland Apr 28, 2008 Bottled. Hazy orange colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is wheat, rubber "new shoes" and medicine. Flavour is wheat, spices, mild licorice, quite grassy and some parfume.
