Bottled. Don’t pour the sediment of this beer - read the label! The beer is clear until the sediment is poured - then it turns murky with chunks of yeast floating around. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of phenol, yeast, caramel, malt, and fruit, leading to a dry and slightly bitter finish.

Bottled. Cloudy golden yellow color, short white head. Quite watery, not as much banana as a good hefeweizen should have. Taste is quite ok though. Easy drinkable.
