Nice super hazy orange coloured body with a very thin white head. Nearly opaque - nice! Aroma of peaches, apricots, wheat, yeast, coriander seed and some canned corn too! Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie taste with a light citrus taste and a prominent coriander seed flavour. Aftertaste shows the canned corn and the sweetness from curacao. Overall, a nice wheat - a bit still, but a good one for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 26-December-2005.

Tap @ Waterfront Alehouse. Served in a weizen glass. Comes to me with a thick, rich, foamy head, which sits on top a thick, golden, hazy body. Looks very appetizing and spot on for a hefeweizen. Aroma is strong banana esters and then some lightly floral esters. Taste is sweet candy wheat and strong esters. Just the way I like it, simple and sweet, awesome hefe and worked well on a cold day.

Tap at Waterfront Ale House - a nicely balanced hefe, but the higher than usual sweetness gives away its strength, and makes it a little less refreshing than it should be - however, with just the right amount of phenolics, tangy wheat character, and notes of orange marmalade, it is pretty darn tasty - it scores points for not being over the top with banana and clove (something that a lot of american-made hefes do), too - overall a nice take on the style, but just a tad sweet.

Growler fill from New Beer - Ramstein must have poor quality control, because I’ve had many of their beers come across as quite sour and infected, but when they aren’t, they’re damn tasty - this is the case here - I think a lot of people have had infected batches, thus the low ratings - this particular keg contains a slightly hazy, fizzy copper beer - not much of a head on it - a little doughy in the aroma, with some light floral hop notes and a bit of honey-ish sweetness - quite smooth and light-bodied - a bit of a hop bite paves the way for bright fruity notes, moderate munich sweetness, and lingering doughy/bready notes - some brisk herbal character and light bitterness on the back end - quite drinkable - this reminds me of why I continue to try their beers, regardless of how often I have an off one.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Best before October on the notch. Pour is hazed brown and ruby, with a cola tan head of about an inch. Carbonation bubbles are present and crackling. Some nice lace. Aroma of roasted wheat, some fruit sweetness. Can’t quite identify type of sweetness, peach maybe. Taste features the toasty wheat, the sugar sweetness and a very roasted finish. The sweetness in the taste is more of a sugary black cherry - more like a soda than the natural fruit, as there is only slight detectable tartness. Tartness / sourness picks up as it warms. Palate is medium-thin, slick and quite carbonated. Easy drinking, and interesting beer. Thanks for this one Mark.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is hazed and cloudy golden yellow with a nice 2 inch white head. There is a ton of carbonation bubbles. Nice looking beer. Aroma of fresh cut wheat, cloves, slight sourness, apple fruitiness and some floral earthiness underneath all of that. Fresh and inviting nose. Taste is the wheat, tart citric sourness (just enough) and a nice apple fruit sweetness. Some clove spiciness to the finish, which lingers. As with the nose, this tasted very fresh. Nice thirst quenching palate with cleansing carbonation. Superb, my kind of hefe. Thanks Mark.

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours murky straw to copper with almost no head. The aroma is lemon, spice, grains and wheat. The taste is tart with some acidity from citrus like lemon followed by wheat, mild banana and some spice notes as noticed in the nose. Pretty nice and the flavor seems to be on the bold side for the style.

(Hand bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Hazy reddish brown with a beige head. Not so pleasant buttery aroma with a whiff of yeast. Quite full-bodied with notes of caramel and chocolate and a whiff of yeast. A little low in carbonation. Almost no bitterness. Would love to get a fresh sample of this one day. 270408

Bottled. A hazy brown beer with a red shine under a thin brown head. The aroma like the Danish candy "Labre Larver" caramel covered licorice - I like them - though not in my beer, but also with some notes or roasted malt and a subdued sweetness. The flavor is acidic with notes of roasted malt, and light notes of butter, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
