Brauerei Göller

 

Dated best by 04/09/24 (not a great sign for the local distro) into a Paulaner 0.5L mug.

Beautiful pour of golden amber overflowing with bubbles, topped off with a massive white head of foam. Looks great. Smells intensely of bananas and sweet oranges, as well as lightly toasted biscuits. Flavor is surprisingly extremely malty, with a little toast on the biscuit suggested by the nose. Plenty of banana and orange as well as spice and a tiny zing of noble hops at the end. Clove is also quite present. Mouthfeel is great, really vibrant. Overall, Goller lost me with some of their beers, but this one is a sweeter, softer take on one of my favorite styles. Quite refreshing and extremely flavorful.

"Best before 9/4/24"; drank 7/30/24 @ the Yarchives.

Cloudy dark orange appearance.

An even pour yielded a huge off-white head; frothy lacing remained.

Banana, wheat & mild bubblegum notes in the nose.

Soft medium mouthfeel.

Banana & soft wheat flavors up front; mild caramel notes on the finish.

Soft & enjoyable.

From the almost past the "best before" date, this poured from the bottle a hazy amber with a moderate head. Obviously a "hefe" or "yeast" weizen. Clove and a bit fruity on the nose. A bit of the classic wheat bier flavor on the tongue. Excellent example of the style.
