Bottle at home. It pours hazy deep gold to amber with a thick, foamy white head. The aroma is sweet, doughy, bready malts, slightly perfumed, stone fruits, apricot, peach and a hint of bubblegum. The taste is firmly dry, grassy bitterness, earthy, floral, peppery spice, bready malts, cracker, pithy, citrus peel, slightly soapy and metallic with a drying and grassy finish. Medium body and moderate+ carbonation. Nice aroma, but the taste is harsh, grassy and soapy. So-so.

Bottle at home. It pours clear rich copper with a decent beige head. The aroma is sweet, oily, resinous, wood, toasted nut and cakey malts. The taste is dry, bitter, woody, toothy, leather, earthy, spice, toasted nut, grainy, slightly burnt note and tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit toothy and drying. Not great...

33cl bottle from Waitrose, Sunningdale. A deep amber pour with an immediately vanishing white head - unlike any hefeweizen I've ever tried; some banana and clove aroma; but a rather less specific spicy taste; levaing the mouth dry. I don't the German's have much to fear from this - Germanicum Caput indeed.

Keg at the Merchant Bar Portree, as West 4, stable long lasting creamy head, clear quite deep gold color, vanila and light bread aroma, grassy lemony flavor with some bread and light honey and a light but noticable bitterness, touch of sweetness. Nice and clean.
