(bottle) Cloudy, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Dusty, slightly cellary yeasty aroma with lighter malty notes; accompanied by grassy hops. Mildly bitter flavour, rather light bodied with a modest carbonation. Yeasty and very subtle fruity malty taste with grassy and slightly herbal hops in the background; slim, yeasty and mildly malty finish with a low hops profile. Absolutely profane Kölsch/Wiess-style beer. 21.V.12

Very light appearance for a Dunkelweizen and somewhat sweeter / lighter than expected. Strong aroma of banana and somewhat sweet.

Yellow pour, small white head. Light hops on the aroma with some light grains. A little watery, but it’s a decent beer.

Pours a very pale cloudy yellow with a big frothy heady. The head mellows any aroma but the taste and mouthfeel are light.

bottle from Norma. Clear deep brown colour, large beige head. Fruity aroma with roasted malts. Fruity overall character, sightly tart, with caramel and a rather dry finish.

bottle from Norma. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Aroma: shy fruity. Light-bodied, quite dry and hoppy with a nice fruitiness and lemony acidity. How interesting, a top-fermented beer as a Landbier. Could be a Wiess perhaps. Spritzy yet with a smooth palate. Quite unusual, but rather nice!

bottle from my local Norma. Clear golden colour, large white head. Hoppy aroma. Grainy malty base with some sourness in the background, woody, dusty hops, hints of cardboard. No glory.

Wässrig herber Beginn. Dann wird das Bier blechern, wenig süß, fast lächerlich hopfig. Dazu trocken, laff, langweilig. Ein schlechtes Pils, das so gar nichts zu bieten hat. 6/6/8/6/7/6

Trocken bitterer Antrunk wobei die Bitterkeit im Mittelteil auf der einen Seite steigt, auf der anderen aber weicher wird. Es sind helle Malznoten vorhanden, die später hinter der Bitterkeit verschwinden, auch die leichten Hopfennoten liegen darüber. Im Abgang langweiliger, geringe Herbe, kurzer Nachgeschmack. 9/7/8/7/7/7
