(On tap) Hazy Amber small white head. Subtle aroma - maybe bread and hint of banana. Lovely soft palate - light body with very soft creamy carbonation. Nice taste - notes of bread, bananas, cloves, and hints of pepper. Bold and tasty for a wheat beer

Draft at Gallaghers Gastropub, Cork, Ireland. Pours deep orange with limited white foam. Aroma is banana, cloves, mandarin. Body is average with good carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, not excessive, with just a bit of bitterness. Finish is average.

330ml can @ AMF Bowling, Shrewsbury. Pours a hazy golden yellow, medium white head. Aroma has some lightly spicy citrus. Taste is smooth with subtle weiss yeast, lightly sweet, soft spice. Fairly easy-going for a hefe, but given as I expected nothing but lager here I have no complaints

Decent mild and nice hefe weisse. Quite session able and easy to drink.
Hazy yellow golden color with a fine white head. Wheat, some banana, yeast and mild clove. Ok balanced. Tad sweet. Ok body and a fine carbonation.
[On tap at Norseman 1696 in Dublin, Ireland]

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours hazy orange, no head. Light sweet aromas. Yate brings the expected banana and light spice. Bit dull though, to be honest.

Bottle from Tesco, Dublin. Hazy amber colour with a very thin head. Not the most obvious of wheat styles, it’s got a fruitiness including some citrus orange and there’s pale malts in here too. It’s quite a decent drink though.

Bottle at Mum and Dads, 25/12/14, from Dundalk Tossco. Lightly hazed golden with a decent off white covering that soon collapses to a swirl. Nose is pear drop, banana, yeast esters, light spice, touch of caramel and vanilla. Taste comprises banana, butterscotch, clove, straw, yeast notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light woody grape notes. Ok Hefe.

330mL bottle poured into a shaker. Typical Hefe aromas, unlike the native German offerings, this one tastes a bit synthetic. Bubblegum and clove flavour comes through a little strong and overly sweet. Nice summer refresher though.

On the nose this was very yeasty and lacking in fruit. However on the taste there is all the expected banana and spice. A game of 2 halves.
