(swing top bottle) Opaque coloured hue with a big and beige slowly lacing foamy head. Moderately roasted malty and earthy aroma with slightly dried fruity notes and a tinge of leather, accompanied by a touch of dark chocolate and traces of alcohol when it warms. Sweet and slightly roasty bitter flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Roast-malty and subtle fruity taste with a whiff of smoke and leather, also traces of chocolate in the background; sweet, mildly bitter-roasty and lasting finish, again with subtle fruity flavours. Wow, and this one comes from Oberbayern ?! 11.X.10

(swing top bottle) Hazy, amber golden colour with a mid-sized tanned foamy head. The aroma has something of an English Ale: moderately sweet cara-malty with fruity notes of citrus, pineapples and a touch of woody hops. Sweet and balancing bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with an almost creamy carbonated mouthfeel. Hearty cara-malty and slightly nutty taste with fruity hoppy notes; medium-dry sweet-bitter caramelly, slightly fruity hoppy and spicy finish. Reminds me of a Schumacher Latzen from Düsseldorf. 08.IX.10

(swing top bottle) Cloudy, pale golden colour with a blond medium-foamy head. Yeasty and sweet grainy malty aroma with a present wheat-character, notes of banana, vanilla and clovy spice. Moderately sweet and slightly sour flavour, light to medium bodied with a smooth carbonation. Yeasty grainy malty and moderately wheaty taste with banana and phenolic spices; medium-dry, sweet and slightly sour-fruity finish. A tad too yeasty for my liking but still a mellow Hefeweizen. 08.IX.10
