porterhouse (951), Alna, Maine, USA Sep 29, 2008 (500 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy grayish gold with a very tall white frothy head in my weizen. Aroma of banana, caramel, brown sugar and hops. Mouthfeel smooth but maybe a touch thin for style. Flavor of banana, citrus, brown sugar and caramel. Maybe a light hint of pepper in finish. Not super rich but has a nice refined taste. dkachur (893), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 25, 2008 500 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse. Very hazy pale orange with a large head. Aroma is yeast, breadiness, citrus. Taste is wheat, citrus, spice, caramel, bubblegum. Full bodied. Very nice. M0RHI (1026), Luxembourg, Luxembourg Sep 22, 2008 Tap at some restaurant in Frankfurt - the flight interruption manifest had its advantages... Orangey with an inconsistent cloudiness and a nice big white head. Nose is wheaty and yeasty, some citrus and some cracked black pepper. Mouth is bananay, citrus, sweet and drying. Slightly bitter end, but gulpable, some alcohol present. Quite good. Guinnessman (80), VACAVILLE, California, USA Sep 21, 2008 Good head. Poured nicely. Had this with a nice chunk of smoked gouda. Not as great as Hopf or Erdinger, but I’ll definitely buy this one again. ska (56), Italy Sep 13, 2008 50cl bottle, hazy orange colour, foamy white head, wheat, yeast and banana aroma, yeast sweet flavor, light bitter finish with citrus and alcohol notes
