2016 rating:Wow... 9 years have passed already? OK. Got it for free, will rerate it. Full misty yellow body with a huge white, creamy head, good retention. Pungent, sweet aroma - apricot jam rules over soft creamy yeastiness and vague caramelly maltiness, perhaps with a touch of banana. The banana ester is still there in the taste, mild, with the taste lighter than I remember it being. fresh, slightly citric and herbal from the "alpine herbs" I assume, the apricot pushing through again here and there, as is the caramel, ending with some chewed-up bubblegum like yeastiness, and slightly on the drier side. This is still one of the best macro beers anywhere.2007 rating:The distribution of this confounds me. Is it available only in Canada and Croatia so far ? Hazy ochre colour. Small white head that went away fast. A strong and very pleasant aroma of bananas, cloves and some other spice rounded up by some lacticity. The taste is also surprisingly pleasant. A truly lovely citric (almost lime) and herbal taste rounded up by a inobtrusive wheaty lacticity and yeastiness. Quite refreshing. Almost an Austrian take on the Belgian Wit style. A very pleasant surprise. Despite the gimmickey appearence of the bottle (and the twist off cap), this is one fine weissbier. 8/3/8/4/15
