Served on tap at No. 27, Inverness. Great appearance - a fantastically large white creamy head. Light in body and beautifully served in its own branded tall glass.

On tap at a restaurant in a small Austrian city. Pours cloudy light yellow with a tall head. Clean nose with wheat yeast and banana. Clean and creamy flavors. Balanced well one of the better hefeweizens I had.

I had a few of these while in Switzerland recently. Poured a cloudy golden hue. Very refreshing and light bodied with a hint of coriander and hops. One of the greatest "light" beers.

Draught, cloudy and carbonated, gold with a large rocky white head. Not much of an aroma at first, slightly citrus, hints of banana grew as it warmed. Quite a full mouthfeel for a weiss beer, not too carbonated, a wheaty flavour, not too sweet. Good.

Hazy warm golden coloured beer with very nice white head. Mild aroma with soft touch of coriander and some lemon. The taste is light bodied but refreshing. It ends with a taste of white bread and some fine bitterings of hops.

Light gold. Nose is sweet, lots of clove and coriander, bit tart. Flavor is a bit thin for a hefe, some banana and bubblegum but a mite thin.
