Slightly hazy, pale golden appearance with fluffy white head. Moderate aroma of spices with citrus. Sweet buttery malts, with moderate vanilla and fruity hints in the flavor. Very smooth mouthfeel with light to medium body and decent carbonation. Slightly salty, dry clove finish. A standard german wheat.

Bottle from Sam’s. Maybe my palate was funked up by the Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru I had before it, but I thought this was odd, distinctive for the style, and quite good. Slightly hazy deep orange pour with white head of big bubbles. Sweet and wheaty. Biscuit notes. The typical banana/clove/yeast were comparatively mild. As much apple as banana. A bit earthy and sweet. Slightly Belgian notes, but perhaps it was the Grand Cru lingering on my palate.

Bottle at Bedford-Bamberg Spring Fest ’09. Slightly hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is cloves and wheaty biscuit, full and rather lovely. Clove and yeast in the taste with all sorts of spicey overtones. This was pretty good.

500 ml bottle. 5.2%. From Germany. Deep copper brown colour with massive white head. Caramel, banana, malts and wheat in aroma. Very sweet aroma. More bitterness in flavour. Fruity (apple/banana/citrus), malty and wheaty taste with some spices. Very enjoyable Weizen.

Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle upon Tyne. Creaminess and herbiness abound in another classic German beer. Pale orange in colour, with a fine, off-white, foamy head, which retains well. Poured fairly clear, with only a trace of yeast left at the bottom of the bottle. Apple and orange apparent in the taste, but subtle and beautifully in proportion.

...bottle, and drank from bottle due to circumstances. Had a nice yeast nose, with hints of hops, very herbal. Fruity, flavorful with nice spice notes. Well balanced brew, with a nice mouthfeel, and fruity, creamy yeast finish.

bottle. Cloudy amber yellow, large and creamy head. Yeasty-fruity nose. Full-bodied, good malty background with nice fruity flavours. This beer doesn’t have the overpowering banana flavour of some Weizenbiere but features well-balanced flavours of tropical fruit (peach mainly) combined with spices such as clove. A very fine brew with a lingering fruity-yeasty finish.
