Bottle. Good yeasty aroma, coriander. Unclear golden yellow colour. Big stable white head. Flavour is OK, more or less a standard hefe. Mouthfeel is OK, but flavour seems a bit watery.

Golden, hazy with a nice head. The aroma has earthy notes of wheat and some fruit. The flavour is a bit edgy with a sharp acidic note in the beginning of the flavour, but then it gives room for banana and wheat and the finish is round and smooth. OK, but a bit on the thin side.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a huge white head. Light grassy banana yeasty aroma and a fresh sparkeling banana taste. Medium body and a light sweet dry finish.

Aroma has honey, orange and clove. Ditto flavor. Refershing. Light yeasty bitter and orange fruit aftertaste. Kind of average, but not bad.

Bottle, bought @ Riepen, Harrislee. Pours a little hazy pale yellow-orange. A small creamy white head settles nicely, super lacing. Aroma has lots of banana and a wheaty background. Medium mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit filled with off flavours... some sort of grainy cardboard. There is the usual hefe flavours, banana, yeast and wheat. Not too fantastic.

cloudy orange colour, little foam, strong aroma of wheat, farm and banana, medium-bodied, oily with a high carbonation, sweet, the finish is short and wheaty - typical

(swing top bottle) Pale and hazy orange colour with a medium fluffy white head. Clovy and yeasty aroma with hints of banana. Smooth carbonated, medium body, quite bland and average type of a Hefeweizen. Sweetbitter flavour, malty taste and a decent almost watery fruity hopbitter finish.
