Bottle. Light amber coloured, smaller, slightly lacing, quite stable off-white head, sweet (dark-) malt and toasted malt in the nose, nutty and hoppy aromas are also detectable; robust sweet-bitter flavour, medium-bodied; stronger sweet-nutty-malty finish with an aromatic hoppiness in the very end. A very fine, well balanced Bier.......

Bottled. A yellow beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with a somewhat boring floral hoppy note - and a very lightly bitter finish.

Bottled. An unclear brown beer with a thick orange head. The aroma is sweet malty and very wheaty with a light note of caramel. The flavor is sweet and again very wheaty - making it a bit sickening, but also with strong notes of banana and caramel, the acidity from the wheat is quite pronounced and lasts until the end - not really me.

Bottled. Served from a stein, so no comments on the color and clarity, but it has a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet with a light dusty hop note. The flavor is very sweet and very early a flowery hoppy note appears, that turns into a bitter finish. Very refreshing.

Bottled. Served in a stein but after the thin white head disappeared the body looked darkish nut-brown. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The alcohol can be felt on the tongue.

Draft. I have no idea what color this beer is, since it was served in a boring stein, but the head is light orange. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with light flowery notes, leading to a slightly bitter finish with just an edge of metal. The mouthfeel is very smooth.

Draft. An unclear orange beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of chewinggum - wheaty and very banany chewinggum. The flavor is sweet wheaty - again with reminisence of chewinggum, leading to a dry banana and wheaty finish.

Draught at GBBF 2007. Gold, lasting white head. Some cereal and nice hop on aroma. Some lemon. Clean in mouth. Excellent pils, drinkable and beautiful and I would have drunk this all day. My German beer of the festival.

Golden color, good cloudy whip-creamy head. Grassy hoppy aroma. Relatively watery, grassy hop notes, lightly herbal and sweetish. Clean but boring .

(bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a big and quite persistent foamy white head. Sweet, yeasty and wheaty aroma with a moderate fruity note of citrus and banana with clovy spice. Medium-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a crispy carbonation. Moderately wheat-malty and yeasty taste with a balanced fruitiness and clove phenols; medium-sweet, slightly fruity and clovy finish. Decent Weizen.
