Feb 26, 2007 Cloudy yellow, nice foamy head. Traditional wheat nose, heavy on banana, with a touch of toast. Full bodied and very "wheaty". No surprises, but very tasty.

Feb 21, 2007 I had this on draft at the Old German Beer Hall in Milwaukee. I thought it was very similar to Franziskaner, which I’ve had many times from a bottle, but not quite as spicy nor as good. Still, at least when fresh and on-draft, I’d recommend it (not so much after it sits on a shelf for a year).
Color was a hazy dull yellow with excellent head formation. Served in appropriate glassware, which added to the experience. Aroma was lightly fruity with a good amount of spiciness. Taste was clovey and good, but as I mentioned, not as crisp nor as spicy as Franziskaner. Mouthfeel is a bit sticky, and appropriate for the style. Very drinkable.

Jan 31, 2007 (Bottle at Bishops Arms, Järntorget, Göteborg) Pale golden, white head. Rather carbonated. Fruity aroma, some bana, citrus and wheat. Quite malty. Banana flavor, a bit spicy and dry. Somewhat thin but otherwise a good beer.

Jan 22, 2007 Bottle; Nose is wheaty with some hop and clove notes; darker golden with a big white head that laced some on the glass as it slowly receded; Tingly mouthfeel, the flavor coming through as malt with banana esters, along with a light hop note! Decent but not great.

Jan 4, 2007 Bottled. This was pretty sour and bad. My wife has begun liking Hefe’s..so we did a 3 sample taste test, this was bad. Can’t even compete against Franziskaner. Only thing worse is Trader joes hefe...

Jan 4, 2007 Why import something this bland and mediocre? Light watery, banana, clove. sour yeast. Little malt.
