A dark orange beer with a huge white lazing head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of banana. The flavor is wheaty with notes of oranges as well as hints of hops on a very dry background. But the body is thin.

Fully hazy amber-yellow beer with olive shine; pink-amber huge head, slowly collapsing. Caramel, lots of banana, bit of nutmeg - and, indeed, a lot of hops - a hopextract, maybe. Banana, nutmeg, bread sour mash for a sourish taint. Finish is more sweet, bananamush-like. No hops in the taste. Rather slick mouthfeel, bit oily, medium bodied. This beer - in itself a middle-of-the-road Hefeweizen - is the living proof what rubbish the Reinheitsgebot really is. Xanthohumol, Hopfenextrakt - but all the same "Gebraut nach dem Bayerischen Reinheitsgebot". B*llocks.

Banana, peach and rye bread in the aroma. Muddy orang color witha big creamy lacing head. Banana and vanilla tastenotes, sparkly mouthfeel, slim and surprisingly dry body. Light fruit and marcipan aftertaste. Sidenote: Make sure not to confuse the beer with "Xan Wellness" which is alcoholfree version of this beer with fruit juice.
