Commercial Description:
Bottle: Pasteurised. May have appeared occasionally in the past on cask.
This classic beer type comes originally form Northern Germany, although it is now popular with discerning beer drinkers everywhere. Weizenbier, or ""Wheat Beer"", uses malted wheat in at least a third of its material grist, creating a highly individual and refreshing taste.

At least this is a better attempt at a style foreign to Scotland than their Pils. Quite crisp and lacking the domination of wheat that some beers of this style seem to have.Not bad at all.

An orange beer with a fine head. The aroma is strong, sweet, fruity, wheaty with a hint of orange. The flavor is bubbly, with powerful wheat, yet without the sourness that malted wheat usually gives a beer. It is pretty sweet and with only a slight bitterness to balance it.

Well, was not really a Weiss Bier, and they never said so, but it was a little far from the fron flavor, the wheat.

This is a seriously strange beer. Starts with an aroma of cloves and peat, however changes to light fruityness, canceling out the peat, then later on back to peat, with cloves and little wheatyness all the way through. Taste starts harsh smokey peat, however changes as with the aroma to a far smother peaty fruitiness. Reminds me of a scotch ale in some ways, however maybe needs a little more refining.

Bottled from the Greene Kiing brewery shop. Aparently they brew it there now too. Funny colour for a wheat. Hazy golden copper with little head. They must use a weissen yeast with this one cos it has those banana esters along with some peachy, orange notes too. A little thin. flavor has plenty honey and wheat. some lasting sweetness. the first taste was good but ultmately forgettable.

Bottled. A lightcopper/dark gold coloured beer with a thin lemony floral aroma. The taste is wheaty and a bit perfumed. Drinkable if unspectacular.

Bottled: Pours a hasy orange colour. Medium lasting head. Not much going on in the aroma. The flavour is a bit boring as well. Notes of banana and yeast but only vague tones of bitterness in the end.

A rarity for Scotland: wheat beer in German tradition. Straw-orangey colour, thick medium head. Aroma is slightly malty and fruity. Neutral flavour with hints of bananas and spices. Standard, a bit boring, weissbier.
