Brown 500ml bottle, best before end of Dec 2009, drank mid-Jan 2010. Poured into a vase shaped pint glass. This is a Bio-Bier! Emmer is a type of wheat. Had I known this before the tasting it would have been poured into the correct glasswear, nowhere on the label was there an indication it was a wheat beer (my German is poor though). I poured the lot in, the sediment turned a clear, very pale yellow beer into a cloudy, darker golden coloured brew, with a few ’floaters’ within. A thin white head sat on top, it looked like a normal wiezen to be honest. It also had an aroma simular to a wiezen, vanilla, citrus and banana type smells. It is a wiezen, tastes like ona anyway, and good one at that! Refreashing, tart and sharp, just like the better wiezen normally are. A pleasant suprise, expected a boring lager/pilsner experience, instead I got a well crafted wiezen from a brewery that hasn’t impressed me with their other beers (so far).

50 cl bottle, BBE 02/2012
Aroma is something between leichte and normal weisse. Some hay and hints of banana. Also some sweet, marshmallow-like element I am unable to give a name. Flavour is sweetish with banana, bubblegum and some hay. Weird but interesting brew, where german (leichte) hefeweizen meets belgian wit.

500ml bottle. Cloudy pale yellow with large white head. Fizzy carbonation. Grain, lemon and apple aroma. Undefined sour taste in the beginning that changes to a more lemon juice-like. Continuously watery, light body. Not far from a dry sparkling wine.

50cl bottle from Bierzwerg. Poured slightly hazy golden with a white head. Wheat and yeast, as well as some grain in aroma. Flavor is grainy malty, semisweet with some dusty notes. Quite pleasant, easy to drink. Smooth.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Hazy orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is wheatlike notes, some slight sourish notes, mild bready notes as well as some fruits. Flavour is emmer, mild grains, some fruits and mild earthy and sour notes. Nicely balanced and very drinkable.
