An unclear light yellow beer with gunk floating around under a lazing white head. The aroma is sweet wheaty combined with a light note of citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty end, that also has a bit of acidity from the wheat.

(Bottle 25 cl) Courtesy of henrikb. A golden beer with tiny, stale impurities and a creamy, white head. Somewhat fat hop aroma. Medium body with fruity accents and a somewhat unclean malt profile. Hoppy finish. Not overly pleasant. 181106

ZBF08. Weak grain flavour. Small white head. Grainy flavour. Sour aftertaste. Wheaty aroma. Not good, but not bad either.

Bottled. Starts bubblying over the top of the bottle when opened. Hazy yellow colour, foamy and big-bubbled huge head. Foams a lot when poured. Aroma is fruity, earthy and quite vegetablyish and grassy. Flavour is spices, slight yeast, wheat and fruits. the "Hefeweizen on steroids" sayravai mentions does actually fit in quite well on this one. Much carbonation, otherwise a very nice beer.

Bottled 25cl (BBE 2006). Hazy orange-yellow color, huge Duvel-like cloudy head. Nose is a bit smokey and metallic, there is wheaty (leather, banana) and fruity sweet aroma like in hefeweizen. Very carbonated mouthfeel. A bit spicey, sweetish with banana flavors. Dry aftertaste. I would say this is wheat beer if not knowing that spelt has been used.
