(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Maria. Hazy golden with a tall and lively off-white head. Aroma of yeast and banana. Medium body with sweet banana esters and cloves - kinda like fruit bubblegum perhaps. 290308

33 cL bottle@fonefan/Brugmansia’s Cnudde tasting. Pours hazy yellow with a quickly disappearing white head. Coriander and wheat aroma. Flavour is mellow wheaty with a light fruit note. Light caramel malty note too. Ends with a light lingering wheaty and spiced flavour. Quite intense flavour.

Bottled at Teerenpeli Kaisaniemi, Helsinki. Muddy pale orange, creamy head. Powerful aroma of banana and cloves. Less sweet than many other weizenbocks and more drinkable. Mild and nowhere near overpowering. Like a hefeweizen just ramped up one small notch.

Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (170408)

Bottle, 7.1%. Fruity banana aroma, not much different from standard wheat beer. Cloudy orange colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is quite fruity with a little banana. Turns a bit caramelly in the finish along with some alcohol. 7 3 7 3 16

Bottle, 7.1%. Distinct banana aroma, seems quite sweet. Cloudy dark orange colour. OK stable white head. The flavour is quite sweet with some banana and a nice alcohol level. The finish gets a bit syrupy sweet, but a very nice beer. 7 3 7 4 16

Draught. Hazy dark orange colour, small white head. Wheat and fruits in aroma. Wheat, yeast and fruits in flavour. Hides the alcohol well, though it gives the beer a slightly "warmer" touch than normal weizens do.
