0,5 can purchased and consumed in Kosovo. Pours coppery color, cloudy with a creamy huge off-white foamy head. Aroma of caramel mixed with a hint of citrus and a background peach-based sourness. Mouth is grainy, fruity, semi-sweet but round and mild. A very interesting wheat beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

On tap at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Cloudy amber with a dense cream head; light clove araoma; sweet banana and clove taste with a smooth grainy body; and a bubblegum candy fruity finish. A pretty classic Hefeweizen.

50 cl. bottle @ home, bought @ the local Plus supermarket. Light brown/red with a huge tan head. Malty aroma with some ripe banana. Creamy mouthfeel. A solid dunkel weizen.

Location: Draft at Reichenbach Hall, 9/12/14

Aroma: The nose wheat and malts, sweet, fruity, some banana, a bit of spice
Appearance: This one pours an orange color with a decent sized creamy off-white head
Flavor: The flavor follows suit with the nose, sweet malts and wheat, a little spice
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a decent mouthfeel, and a plus carbonation
Overall Impression: This one is fairly unexciting. It's just fine I guess, nothing much beyond that. You could certainly do worse...

Keg at Victoria Station Spoons. It pours cloudy golden-orange with a small white head. The nose is wheat, doughy, clove, banana, citrus peel and hay. The taste is crisp, bitter, orange peel, banana, herbal, fruity tartness, cereal and clove with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Straightforward hefe action.

Pours hazy dark yellow with huge white frothy head. Notes of banana, spices, wheat.

Review based on the BJCP2008 guidelines (style 15B). Bottle 50 cl - Batch A210020. AROMA: slight dried grapes, raw yeast, bready, wheat and caramel malts. no hop aromas. no diacetyl or DMS. APPEARANCE: dark copper color with a ivory medium-thin and moussy head. average retention. hazy. TASTE: slight sweet caramelly taste with faint wheat notes. esters and phenols almost absent. very low bitterness and finishes sweet and bready. PALATE: dilluted medium-light body with average carbonation. OVERALL: a poor and watered down bulk dunkelweizen, with uninteresting aromas and flavours.

500ml bottle. Pours slightly hazy dark orange with a medium head. Aroma is vanilla, banana and clove. Taste has clove to start with a banana finish. Touches of creamy vanilla.

Huge thanks to Motelpogo for sharing this :). Hazy brownish col0our with a huge off white head. Creamy, slightly spicy aroma, with light notes of alcohol (hm). Dry taste, nougat, mild lacticity, extremely light herbal notes from the hop but without bitterness. Passable dunkelweizen.

Typical Weizen brewed by Licher for Klosterbrauerei Ettal. Tasted young years ago, now from a somewhat older bottle for re-rating. Looks fantastic in a Hefeweizen ’vase’: vanilla ice cream-like, rocky, foamy, thick, dense head on top of a deep, warm orange blonde beer with ochre hue, a tad darker than usual for the style, equally misty with whole ’columns’ of fizz piercing through - a stunning sight, as it should be for this style. Aroma yields a lot of the expected ’mashed banana’ and cloves, the hallmarks of a Hefeweizen bouquet, with the banana slightly dominating; other impressions include (obviously) strong soapy wheat, ripe peach, some subtle candied lemon, chamomille, apple cake, gingerbread, some ’natural’ iron, dry earth and some vague, onsetting oxidation, but not (yet) disturbing at all. Soft fruity onset, banana, red apple, peach and some gooseberry, sweetish with sourish undercurrent which becomes more pronounced as the palate progresses and the soapy, softly sourish wheatiness develops, well balanced with a bready, very lightly caramelly barley malt sweetness; carbonation is spritzy but not coarse, mouthfeel is supple and smooth. Retronasal clove-like phenols, banana ester and very mild oxidation show up in the end along with a very subtle whiff of soft, floral hops, which provide some background structure in the finish, though they remain almost completely hidden and it is the wheat soapiness and barley ’breadiness’ that go down into the throat, with that soft, subtle sourish accent providing some drought against these sweetish, juicy grains. I love a good Hefeweizen every now and then, I love their looks, and I love how refreshing and juicy they can be when they are well made; this one delivers. Stereotypical alright, but so are many German beers, and then it comes down to finesse, detail and craft to distinguish between the above average ones and the below average ones in each style. This, to me at least, is slightly above average.
