Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark Aug 10, 2009 Draught. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Hazy orange body. Yeasty wheat nut aroma. Herbal sour banana flavor. Beer swerved too warm. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste. Beth101 (315), West Yorkshire, England Oct 19, 2008 flowery hops some wheat and yeast. Cloudy dark honey colour, large airy head which rapidly disappears. Sweet can taste wheat and yeast. Very carbonated. FatPhil (3446), Espoo, Finland Aug 1, 2008 500ml bottle (S Market)
Cloudy light gold, healthy head. Light wheaty and bananaey aroma, but quite subdued compared with a full-fat version. Watery palate, a little sweet. Wheat-dominated, but slightly spicy taste, but again, a bit insipid and like it’s good beer watered down. Maybe it is. If I want a 3% beer, I’ll have an English mild, or a <2% traditional kalja/kvass thank you, rather than this. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland Jun 5, 2008 murky light grey-yellow, white small head. Very light as it says it is.. but that’s not good. too fizzy like a soda. lots of wheat and yeast and sour like raw green banana. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Jun 1, 2008 Warm golden with a nice, creamy head. The Kapuziner weiss beers are very nice, and this does not change that view, even if it’s a light version. The aroma is light with notes of clove, wheat and banana. The flavour has sweetness and the same notes as the aroma, a bit heavy on the wheat. It’s uncomplicated and easy to drink. maeib (4677), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England May 9, 2008 Bottled. A hazy golden coloured beer with a large lasting pure white head. The aroma has banana and clove, and the taste banana esters. Wheaty and only slightly less flavoursome than a 5% hefe. A touch of paper, but reasonably decent - and 50pence! Bargain! beervis (223), People’s Republic of Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, England May 9, 2008 Bought in error, 50p from Morrisons. As a low abv beer this is great - quenching, wheaty and yeasty, hint of banana. thin body and a general lack of esters give away its ’light’ category but still has a lot more bite than, say, Peeterman Artois. Drinkable, and decent as a low alcohol though not a decent hefe. tlind2 (560), Helsinki, Finland May 6, 2008 500 ml bottle. Typical cloudy yellow color with a pillowy head. Aroma of ripe bananas. Yeasty, somewhat watery taste with some lemon and wheat. Very high carbonation. Not great.
