Blue tinted bottle with blue label, white reindeers and ’premium unfiltered beer’ under them. Pale yellow color with slight haziness, strong fruity smell, high carbonation, slightly bitter citrusy taste, long finish. A nice hefeweizen.

Hazy golden coloured body with a very thin and fast-dying white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, curacao, dough and a bit of funk. Medium-bodied; Great full mouthful with a lot of wheat and banana flavours coming through, a touch of clove and coriander seed and a little sweetness on the tail end from bubble gum. Aftertaste nice and refreshing with a little spices, but mostly sweet and bright flavours to show off. Overall, a nice beer for sure, great to sample and one for sure that if I didn’t know where it came from - I would have guessed Germany - a nice beer, especially for the country of origin and the style. I sampled this 300 mL bottle purchased at CitySuper! Grocery Store in Hong Kong (two IFC) on 10-August-2010 sampled at home on the other side of the world in Washington on 31-March-2011 - after the horrible events on 11-March-2011 in Japan - I figured I’d round out the month by drinking this in honour. Good luck to you Japan.

Blue bottle. Milky yellow, low head. Spicy aroma quite a bit of clove. Perfumed sweet. Lost some carbonation when we opened it. A bit unclean, over bb date?

Not sure if I have the right beer, but it tastes like a German hefeweizen, so best guess. Blue bottle, blue and white label says Premium Unfiltered Beer. Aroma of yeast. Cloudy straw. Full bodied, grapefruit and bubblegum. Nice enough.Earlier Rating: 1/3/2009 Total Score: 3.2Not sure if I have the right beer, but it tastes like a German hefeweizen, so best guess.

Bottle, labeled "Silver Bottle". Relatively yellow, light and glowing, very cloudy with a medium head. Medium rich aroma of cloves, bananas, wheat malt. Not particularly sweet, with a good dose or sour/citrus. Light, tangy flavor with lots of bananas, cloves, citrus. Refreshing, light in body, somewhat spritzy. A lighter style weizen, on the tangy side. Very refreshing and tasty. No faults. This bottle says it can be stored at room temperature, so I supposed it is pasteurized.
