(swing top bottle) Hazy and cloudy yellow colour with a fluffy blonde foam. Sweet, yeasty, slightly citrus-fruity and slightly worty nose with a tinge of honey. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium body, lively carbonated mouthfeel; malty and yeasty taste with honey and a restrained fruitiness; yeasty and minimal bitter finish. Still drinkable, but not perfectly balanced and a fairly unripe brew.

Bügelverschlußflasche: Hazy, orangey to amber coloured, huge rocky off-white head; distinctive sweetish fruity (oranges, lemons, orange peel) aroma, traces of yeast, too; mild, but fizzy mouthfeel, sweetish (fruity and malty) taste; becomes a bit dryer in the fruity, citrousy finish, some mild acidity detectable. A nice "Wheat beer" without wheat.....or a "Belgian Ale" from the Bohemian Forest !

(Bottle 50 cl) Light brown almost muddy beer with a decent head and a high carbonation. Fresh and sweetish, but the fruity esters are rather subdued. A bit disappointing. 041204

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful golden beer, only slightly hazy with a lively head that almost spurts out of the bottle when the cap is removed. Very fruity with a citrusy freshness and a touch of acidity. Almost no bitterness. A very classical Hefe of top quality. 030401

(Bottle 50 cl) Slightly cloudy coppery golden with a subdued head and a low carbonation. Very malty, caramelish, soft and sweet with only a touch of hops for balance. My kinda beer - delicious. 060201

Bottle. Quite spicy aroma. Very earthy, spicy flavour, a little sweet. Spicyness reminding me of witbier. Hint of mushroom. Interesting beer, and quite nice.

A hazy pale yellow beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is very hoppy and grassy and quite sweet. The body is thin and the flavor is totally dominated by hops, grass, grain, and straw. For me somehow too much.
