500ml can (7.8% ABV), from an Advent Calendar and drank in California on 17th Dec 2019. Poured slowly into a 'Licher Weizen' glass. Cloudy orange body, smooth white head of foam. Yeast, wheat and banana esters in the nose, taste also leads with a yeasty, wheaty and banana flavouring. Hides it's alcohol nicely, seems more like a regular Hefeweizen than a Bock version, but I am no expert.

Can. Amber beer with a dark cream head. Dark fruit and wheat aroma with light caramel and light spice. Banana and spice flavor with wheat and light caramel. Medium bodied. Banana and spice linger with wheat, light caramel, and light dark fruit.

Bottle from Kalea advent calendar 2019. A Pilsbock? How bizarre. Gold colour slightly hazy lasting off white head. A bit of a bock aroma. Some bitterness pepper on the finish. Something like a pilsner mixed with a heller bock. Some pepper finish. It was pretty decent. If a little weird.

500 ml can from the Advent calendar. Aroma is clove, bubblegum, light banana, chalky, bready. Pours hazy orange-golden with a two finger off-white pillowy head with excellent retention. Taste is sweet, spicy, lightly tart, kind of boozy. Pretty good, but I wish the alcohol was less obtrusive and it didn't have any tartness.

50cl. Smooth grainy beginning with fruity to sour lemonade in the back. Easy to drink, grainy with sweetish lemonade in the end. Easy to drink, but the artificial sweeteners are way too artificial and destroying the nice fruity picture. Very sad...

Quite hoppy and somewhat bitter for a german example. More like a craft version. However the hops are nice and modern, and the beer is balanced and tasty. Bad Santa 2019 bier advent

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle. Clear, pale golden with a white head. Sweetish, gently fruity and slightly artificial aroma of lemonade. Quite sweet, slightly sourish, gently fruity and a little artificial taste of lemonade and traces of grains, followed by a short, slightly tart finish. Thin body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Average Radler.
