(bottle) Slightly hazy yellow colour with a fluffy foamy, quite stable white head. Sourish malty yeasty aroma, slightly fruity (citrus) and clovy. Sweet and sour flavour, light bodied, ok carbonated. Wheat-malty and citrus-fruity taste; slightly sweet and sour fruity finish with a whiff of cloves. Not very convincing and less than decent Weizen.

(bottle) Pale golden coloured hue with some floaties and a foamy white medium head. Slightly sweet strawy malty aroma with sourdough. Sweet-sour flavour, medium to light body, ok carbonated. Initially light-sweet malty taste with sourdough; dry malty and minimal hop bitter finish. Indeed more a Helles than a Pils.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, pale golden, mid-sized white fluffy head, quickly diminishing to a thin foamy layer; robust sweetish fruity nose (bananas mainly, some citrousy notes, only faint traces of cloves); quite sweet fruity flavour, a bit oily, medium bodied; sweet finish, some fruitiness in the aftertaste. An almost cloying Weizen, really not refreshing................

Bottle: Straw golden, thin but lacing white head; sweet (pale-)malty, a bit dusty aroma, a bit alcoholic, with a tinge of hops; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, quite fizzy mouthfeel; sweetish malty finish, moderate, distictive bitterness in the aftertaste. Not really bad, but should be better called "Helles"................

Bottle: Light amber coloured, visible carbonation, small, quite stable off-white head; sweetish cardboardy nose, some traces of caramel; faint sweetish (caramelly) flavour, fizzy mouthfeel; slightly bitter-sweet finish with a bready and a metallic touch. Not a real pleasure, unharmonic, scratchy......

Bottle. Nice hay/grass aroma with slight hint of barnyard. Clear amber color with small head. Slightly sweet grass/new hay and malt flavor. Decent body. Easy drinking and very enjoyable.

Bottle. Golden and a little hazy colour. Malty aroma, some grassy and sweet smell aswell. Has a nice bitter and fruity taste. It leaves you with a nice long hoppy and bitter after taste.
