Commercial Description:
Nothing refreshes you more than this naturally cloudy wheat beer with its wonderful yeasty fragrance and taste. Goes well with dishes that do not have too intensive a flavour, especially that Bavarian speciality 'Weisswurst' or white sausage.

Pours a bright golden color with a huge, long lasting, fluffy head. Aroma is light citrusy fruits, yeasty with some malt. The beer looks good and also tastes good. The flavor is bananas, cloves with some wheaty malts, perhaps a touch grassy with some spices as well. Light and refreshing but a well rounded hefe. If this isn’t the best hefe I’ve ever had it’s definitely close!

500 ml bottle. Poured into a weizen. Pours a cloudy straw color with a huge white head that dissipates quickly. Very nice looking in my weizen glass. A very light, refreshing treat that is heavy on the banana and clove character. Medium bodied. No bitterness present. Has a very clean finish. Best hefe that I have tried so far, but I like the weihenstephaner hefe dark a bit better. I have become a fan of this brewer.

500ml. Pours hazy dark orange with a pillowy, lavish white head that never goes away. The nose is possibly the only weak point of this beer, I get mostly straw and wet grass. Body flavors include lemon rind, banana, grass, coconut. Palate is easily the winner hear with a fine carbonation but palate coating viscosity that carries the finish on for quite some time. A great beer.

On tap @ Bishops Arms, Karlstad, Sweden. This one was really tasty on tap! Lots of banana and spices with a wonderful sweetness. I love it! It’s so refreshing and "childish" to drink, almost like a soda.

Bella weizen di classe, tra quelle un po’ più facili da trovare al supermarket direi la migliore; unica nota di demerito sapore lievemente metallico però nel retrogusto sfuma decisamente. Ricca e gustosa ma allo stesso tempo molto godibile, dissetante e golosa. Bravo
