(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with an off-white head leaving laces. Lightly burned caramel aroma. Medium-bodied with some roasted malt, caramel and some lightly floral accents from the aroma hops that also leave a solid dose of bitterness. Nice brew. 121106

(On tap) Clear, deep golden with an off-white head. Rather hoppy aroma. Medium-bodied with a perfect balance between lightly sweetish caramel malt and a dry, bitter hoppiness. Not your typical Helles, more like a Vollbier Hell/Landbier. 121106

(On tap) Hazy orange with a dense and retentive head. Very distinct banana and yeast aroma. Medium-bodied with sweetish fruit accents, some phenol and underneath everything a marked tartness. 121106

An orange beer with a thick orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of oranges. The flavor is quite sweet with notes of malty and fruit - oranges, leading to a bitter end. OK, but quite simple. I’d expected more.

An orange beer with a fluffy off-white head. The aroma is primarily hoppy, but with a weak sweetness lying in the background. The flavor is malty with an acceptable hoppyness, leading to a dry bitter end. But the mouthfeel and body are both thin, due to lack of alcohol and residual sugars.

A light yellow beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is strongly of lemon. The flavor is sweet with an artificial lemon note. The end is a bit dry and a bit bitter.

Bottle: Cloudy, golden coloured, smaller foamy layer; stronger sweet-fruity(ripe fruit, cloves, bananas), a bit grainy nose; quite sweet flavour, medium bodied; sweet-fruity finish, nearly without any tartness. A tasty, well rounded Weizen !

Bottle: cloudy yellow with a thick white head; aroma mainly banana with a touch of spice; easy to drink with a dry banana taste; little after-taste, but it leaves you wanting more.

Bottle: orange with thick white head, sweet smell, a small amount of hops in the taste and a dry finish, otherwise more like drinking tap water - "one for the large thirst" indeed.

Bottle: pale golden colour with a large white head, which falls back quickly with good lacing; aroma of bread and hops, light refreshing taste, with hops kicking in sometime later.
