plovmand (525), Helsinge, Denmark Aug 29, 2008 Bottle at Ulfborg RB tasting. Thanks a lot Missdolle. Poured hazy orange golden with a creamy head. Wheaty aroma with bubblegum notes and banana. I flavour clove, banana and wheat. Bit thin palate. KyotoLefty (62), Kyoto, Japan Aug 29, 2008 500ml bottle, bought in Toronto. Dark gold, slightly orange, darker than usual for the style, with a middling head. Fruity, spicy aroma of banana, clove, a hint of lemon and honey. Very rich. Has a rich, sweet, flavor, with lots of fruit and spice. Sweetish-style, not too sour at all, though not quite cake-like. Very well balanced and flavorful. One of the better ones, I think, and this in the bottle! Traveled well. DrBayern (935), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Aug 27, 2008 Date: 08/27.08
Aroma - Pungent clove, banana more subtle, toffee in the background, nice hefe aromas
Appearance - Cloudy tawny orange body under a voluminous, creamy white head that lasts nicely, and leaves some thick islands of lace
Flavor - Solid light malty sweetness initially, then a thirst quenching wheaty tartness comes into play, and just the softest of hop bitterness at the very end.
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, silky smooth, clean and dry on the finish.
Overall - A classic, well done hefeweizen in every regard. thewolf (3607), Kolding, Denmark Aug 25, 2008 Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, MissDolle]
Pours muddy yellow with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma is sweet, grainy and clear banana notes. Fine mouthfeel, okay balance. Sweet banana hits me first, then a serious maltiness and nice citric hoppy finish. Is there more? Marsiblursi (1393), Göteborg, Sweden Aug 24, 2008 (Bottle) Pours hazy yellow to light golden with a creamy white head. The aroma is sweet floral and wheaty with clear notes of banana. The flavour is of banana, wheat and flowers alongside a salty sting. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy. Light bitter and dry. Medium bodied.
