Bottle (from Haus der 131 Biere). Sweetish, fruity aroma, reminding me of some sort of Belgian stout. Almost black colour. Big, but unstable, brown head. Sweet flavour, very much dominated by iron. Also some fruitiness.

Canned, thanks IslandHaole! Cloudy golden, rich but brief head. Fruity banana aroma. Sweet and lightly bready, lightly lemony. Soft mouthfeel. Refreshing.

Canned, thanks IslandHaole! Hazy yellow, small head. Banana aroma. Esters and sweetness aretoned down. The mouthfeel is soft, and it’s solidly malty. Well made and fairly refreshing authentic hefeweizen.

Mini-can, thanks IslandHaole! Hazy pale golden. Citric banana aroma. Firm body with saoft, papery maltiness. A well made refreshing wheat beer with restrained sweetness.

The mini-can is cool to look at, but for pure functionality it just isn’t enough beer for me. However, the beer. Hazy blond colour. The aroma is sweaty, with a fair bit of banana. Fairly tart - very wheaty - with moderate banana and hints of yeast. While not all that sound technically, it manages to be quite appealing.

Has orange peel, smoke and cloves in the nose. Nice light body, slightly sour and yeasty and then a refreshing orange peel finish. Still too watery for me.

Cloudy yellow. Marshmallowy, bananaish aroma. Sweet, fluffy character. Straightforward but fairly well made. However, this is a bit tart and thin on a recent re-rate.

Cloudy tan colour. Sweeter and a little thciker than the Weizen, but these are only shades of difference. Otherwise, a clean, well-made but unexciting wheat.

Golden colour with low carbonation, lack of head. Light tasting with toasty notes. Maybe some Vienna malt. Low bitterness, slightly watery finish. Slightly spicy hop aroma is the only thing this beer has going for it...and it doesn’t go far.

Attractive labeling of a train (that somewhat resembles the Chuo line) heading up into space and a young blonde women holding a crystal ball. Pale golden color with a big, but quickly disappaiting head. The nose is alive with soft hops bouqueting pine, lemon, bubblegum that smells nothing like any JR train I have been on. Wonderful nose. The body starts slightly sweet and malty, but then strange lemon undertone come in from no where and takes away from what I thought was going to be a brilliant beer. The finish is dry with some lingering bitterness. Compared to the Classic the nose was much better, but it fell apart after that.
