355ml can [4.7% abv]. A canned Weizen - dear me! Cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with small, frothy, rapidly fading, minimally lacing, white head. Adequate, sweet-ish, wheaty and fruity Hefeweizen aroma, notes of banana, dried banana, some pear, hints of banana leaves, a touch of clove, floral yeasty overtones. Taste is moderately sweet wheaty, fruity, notes of pear juice, banana, dried banana, hints of banana leaves; minimally watery interludes, soft to flat carbonation.

Hazy yellow with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a light sweetness and some floral notes. The balance is good though. It stays quite fresh on the palate.

Can from Firma Bier, at 4.7%, large sample. Hazy golden color, medium frothy head. Aroma of grainy wheat, spicy, banana, bit clove, brinta, slight citrus. Soft citrussy bitterness, bit tart note even, grassy and grainy wheat. Not as sweet as weizens can be. Decent take on a weizen though.

Slightly fruity and a bit of yeast. Earthy and light grain/wheat. High carbonation with a light metallic finish. Good on a warm day but not that full of flavor.
