The pour was a hazy yellow, thick lacy head, bananas and citrus all over the nose. The tase? Not what I wanted... too bitter, not enough balance. Allen (1407), Switzerland
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Bottled 50cl. It pours a murky golden beer with a tall white head. Banana, grain, cloves, melissa and lemon in the nose which is yeast accentuated. Surprisingly sour taste. Not much fruitiness. Quite a lot of malt showing up. Grainy. Not overly sweet. Medium bodied. A lot of mint in the finish. A mediocre example. jcr (1177), Jasper, Indiana, USA

Wheat graininess. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly acidic. The finish is lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture and a lively carbonation. Overall, grainy and sweet.

I know I’ve had this before, but I guess I just never rated it...
Aroma: Yeasty, banana, clove, lemon
Appearance: Cloudy yellowish color
Flavor: Sweat wheaty malt flavor, similar to the nose
Palate: Lightish body, easy drinking beer, smooth
Overall Impression:
If you are looking for a classic German style Hefe, this one does a nice job of representing the style. It’’s a pretty solid beer, I don’t love this style, but it is an enjoyable and refreshing beer.
