Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A hazy, dark golden-orange beer with a decent off-white head. White sugar, fruits and a faint note of cellar in the aroma. The flavor isn’t much more exiting. A touch of dried fruits blends with the fruits and white sugar. Medium body, nicely carbonated. Fruity finish with dried fruits. Quite decent, at least the flavor. 110129

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A quite clear one, at least considering it’s a weissbier. Golden in color and with an off-white head. Weak on the nose, but pleasant. Pale malts, fruityness and some banana and cloves. Smooth, a bit thin on the palate, with banana, some apples and lemon, hints of cloves and bitterness. A quite pleasant one, but a bit weak all the way. 110129

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A hazy, orange-golden beer with a firm, small, off-white head leaving some lacings. The aroma has a milky touch, with a solid dose of hops, a light medicine touch, pale malts, some yeast hints and a touch of orange. Orange, pale malts, hop-fruity but not bitter, slightly medicine-like and yeasty flavor. Medium body, well carbonated. Fruity finish with pale malts and a touch of yeast. A bit sweet overall, maybe. Still a nice one that I would like to revisit. 110128

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A slightly hazy one, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. Citrusy fruityness on the nose, lots of pale malts, and with a touch of milkyness indicating it was due to be drank. Nothing that matters really, it’s a pleasant aroma anyway. It’s refreshing and quenching, with flavors of citrus and some pale malts. Medium body, quite dry. A pleasant one. 110319
