Only a quid from Eltham Wines! Gold pour with a white head. Nose is sweet fruits, - banana in particular, touch of tropical fruit. Taste is banana, yellow melon, vanilla, touch of apricot. Spicy fruity action with a light bitter backbone. Very quaffable.

0.33 l bottle from 'Drankgigant.nl', best before July 2022. Clear, pale golden with a thin, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, a bit grassy-spicy aroma of grains and light straw. Gently sweet, hardly bitter, minimally grassy-spicy taste of grains and light straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, gently dry finish. Thin body, gently effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Very decent for what it is, easily drinkable, refreshing and clean.

Have to admit that I don't get the branding - why create a fake German beer when there are so many available in UK supermarkets? Anyhow, clear, yellow (slightly dark) pour, aromas of white bread, malt, very little hops, tase pretty much the same with a sweetish aftertaste. Quite flat overall.

Bottle from The Drink Supermarket. It pours clear yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, over ripe banana, banana candy, banana split, doughy bread, custard creams and herbal accents. The taste is dry, vague bitterness, citrus peel, warming spice, clove, herbal vibes, hay, sweet chalky banana, foamy banana candy, custard slice and biscuit with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough hefe. Not sure it would stand out in a crowd mind you.

Bottle from Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma had cloves, citrus, a hint of banana and a smokey waft. Hazy copper gold. Thick shaving foam head. Light bitter. Cloves. Sour citrus edge. And smoke again, throughout. The underlying sweetness is shy and only pops its head out latterly. Medium bodied. Thin but slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable. More interesting than I expected it to be.

Bottle from drink supermarket. It pours clear lager yellow with an ok white head. The aroma is sweet, grainy, grassy, hay, custard creams, buttered white bread and nip of spice. The taste is crisp, dry initially, then it's bitter - sweet, grassy sting, straw, hay, grain, biscuit, custard creams, lemon curd, doughy white bread, cereal and spice with a dry finish. Average body and moderate+ carbonation. It's pretty ok for a lagerbier. Love the old advert which is why I couldn't help but purchase it. Quenching when cold anyhow.

Bottle ordered from Noble Green Wines, Hampton. Aroma is sweet and malty with underlying pine. Light gold. Frothy white head. Light-medium bitter with an initial sour ciyrus edge that then develops doughy sweetness. Underlying soggy cardboard and soda. The flava peters out. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Soft carbonation. Dry somewhat astringent finish. A low alcohol beer that attempts to mimic a Helles but ultimately ends up weak and watery.
