Not sure if I've ever tasted a keller-weizen, so pretty curious as to how this could potentially surprise me. Straight out the gate, this pours a much different color than a hefeweizen, unclear amber, with a huge white head that's very stable. Scent is banana alright, but with a caramelly background. No real cloves (yet), Amber malt-like crispy, breadcrust like features. Wheat is less straight forward. Taste is full, toasty, caramelly, banana, crisp and fresh, breadcrust. Man, i actually enjoy this way more than I thought I would, not being a particular fan of hefeweize. Still not a favorite beer of mine, this one, but certainkly a lot more to my liking than I had thought. The caramelly, breadcrust, ambermalty crisp really ligts it up, though the beer remains quite sweet and ester heavy.

Swingtop bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear yellow, a bit to the pale side with a lacing, white head. Almost a decent Lager aroma with a hint of malt and sulphur. Thin and watery, but aromatic noble hops and very discreet wort accents. Very subdued bitterness. 120725

0,5 l, swingtop bottle.
Brownish color, cloudy, with the usual naturtrüb taste and aroma. Nothing special, but it's a solid choice on a warm summer evening :D

Old rating - Pours a deep brown with a creme head that leaves lacings. Aromas of caramel malt. Tastes sweet caramel malt, fig, prune and hints of the alcohol. Full bodied with medium carbonation. Not an easy one to consume, but one to sip. A grower.

Old rating from 11-05-16 - 500ml bottle from a supermarket in Berlin. Pours a hazy light orange colour with a lovely foamy head that leaves lacings. Aromas of banana, clove & wheat. Tastes of banana, peach, mild citrus, clove & wheat. Aftertaste is of a mild banana wheat bitterness. Overall much better than I expected, and one I could have had a second of quite easy.

Garrafa de 50 cl com amigos em Nuremberga. Só provei mas não me pareceu nada de especial. Como quase todas as cervejas da Kulmbacher não é nada de especial.
