Found Edelweiss in a Prague supermarket. Very pleased with my purchase. Fine, foamy head. Diaphonous, golden color is slightly more transparent than the typical weissbier. This Edelweiss is not your typical weissbier. It is hard for me to put my finger on exactly what separates Edelweiss, except for the color. As others have said, it has a spice flavor and aroma. Lovely, smooth finish. It’s very refreshing.

330ml Bottle- Amber/orange in colour with a small head. The aroma is spicy with bananas featuring prominently. The taste is quite mellow at first but the spices are detectable again with the banana being very noticeable and lingering in the finish.

Hazy orange color, decent creamy white head. Wheat, clove, sugar and coriander in the nose. Clove, banana and wheat in the herbal flavor. More or less ordinary witbier with some interesting herbs/spices added.

@ GJBF 2007. Strong spice and wheat aroma with some fruit and yeast as well. Spicy flavor with nice earth tones, sweet fruit, wheat, floral, some banana, yeast and lightly bitter. Was an excellent suprise at the festival.

0.33 l bottle. Pours pale yellow murky body with relatively big white head. Strong aroma of banana with herbs...flavor is also quite nice, bitter but balanced with sweetness of fruits and alpine herbs. Not bad beer, but nothing special either + too fruity for my taste.

0.33L bottle. strong aromas of wheat and yeast, small head, hazy golden colour with a lot of carbonation. flavours of flowers and forest, certainly some pine and maple, pleasant and refreshing sourness at the end. This beer seems to me much more a belgian wittbier than a weizen. A big suprise and an excellent beer.

Light gold. Hazy. Assertive yeast - banana, bread, foot and something like a lime or kumquat citrus note. The body is somewhat thin and a bit spritzy at the back. Malt leads with banana and faint footiness. Sort of a minty herbal thing going on...maybe clover honey...but it’s fairly vague, a suggestion more than a flavour.

Bottle courtesy of Piscator34: Poured an hazy yellow/white color weizen with a huge pure white foamy head with great retention and great lacing. Aroma of banana ester if dominating with some subtle sourness. Taste is also dominated by banana ester as well as lots of wheat and finished with some subtle sourness which is too bad because everything was perfect and pointing to a magnificent weizen. It is too bad that the style doesn’t travel well because I am sure that this stuff is great when fresh. The spices aspect of it is interesting but that weizen part of this really dominate.

Re-rate 11/2/15: Draught at Shuffle bar in Tel Aviv. Fruity, lots of bubblegum and banana. Very nice Weissbier. 7/3/7/4/15=3.6
Re-rate 5/19/11: Bottle sample at a blind Hefeweizens tasting. Slightly hazy golden. Aroma of lots of banana and bubblegum. Sweetish fruity flavor with banana and some overripe fruits. Medium-bodied. Nice and mellow. My 2nd place of the tasting. 7/3/7/4/14=3.5
Re-rate 3/15/11: Bottle. Cloudy dark orange with a white head. Aroma of yeast, fruit esters and some herbal spiciness. Sweetish-sourish fruity flavor with some drier spiciness that’s getting strong in the finish. Nice fluffy Weizen mouthfeel. Finishes a bit too spicy but still decent. 7/3/6/4/13=3.3
Bottle. I like the appearance of this bottle (with the alpine mountains on it). Cloudy yellow color with a big white head. Aroma is wheaty, fruity, citrusy, and I never smelled "Alpine herbs" before, but I think I smell them now. A pretty sweet wheaty flavor, a bit herbal, with very light acidity maybe, with fruitiness, some banana, some lemon and some spices. Light to medium bodied. A good Weissbier with a nice little twist. 7/4/7/3/14=3.5
