A true classic with a stately head, distinct aromas of fruit and spice, top-fermented with mild yeast notes.

500ml. bottle in Mae Kasa, Thailand. Pours a cloudy dark orange with a quickly diminishing head. Aroma of wheat, malts, banana, bubblegum and yeast. Taste of light citrus, banana, bubblegum, wheat. Smooth mouthfeel. Solid hefe.

When it comes to price/quality ratio, this is among the definitive winners. As an above-average Hefeweizen for its cheap price, it goes very well at parties and it's decent enough not to create painful hangovers.

It has a pretty nice dark-yellow hazy color with a huge foamy head which persists even after is reduced to a few millimeters thick. Smell is typical of the style, it feels nice, that's it.

The typical banana-flavors of this style are pretty prominent and go toward the sweeter side, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Carbonation is prominent and it feels nice.

Overall, "Quaffable, but far from transcendent".

De Aldi. En copa hefe de Bavaria. Estudiando. Sorprendentemente buena para una birra del Aldi, con un sabor a banana marcado y agradable y un buen cuerpo

A: The beer is a bit hazy yellow in color and has a moderate to high amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high white head that died down but consistently left a short head covering the surface.
S: Moderate aromas of banana-like yeast are present in the nose along with hints of spices.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that the spicy flavors of the yeast are a tad bit stronger.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This hefeweizen is a fairly good representation of the style.

Can - pours a hazy deep gold with a 3 finger puffy cap in the glass...aromas are demure; light malts and some straw and fruity notes...flavor seems malt forward , lightly sweet with some hop balance and fruity esters....long wet finish goes a bit dry...decent commercial Hefe but 2 dimensional

L- Mid-golden, slightly hazy, pours with nice looking 1Cm white head (ps. holds well).
S- Mild weissen notes.
T- The weissen notes are more prominent on the palate, ie there is no doubting the style here. It's a touch more sweet/less hoppy-dry than I'm used to from the style.
F- Carbonation in the mouth is very good, but the overall feel seems a bit under-powered. Perhaps the Feel also suffers simply relative to the prominent taste and lively carbonation?
O- It's pleasant enough as a regular tipple, but I can't see it wowing many fans of weissen. I'd be interested in how it would be if it were in a say 5.4% version...? Meanwhile there are so many other better weissens I see no reason why I'd buy this one again.
Bought from BeersOfEurope/UK for home delivery to me in London. 500ml bottle BB: 12/03/2021

I bought it for the first time in Bucharest. One of the best Weissbier I have tried. And the price was very cheap.

Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a relatively dense bubbly head. Although it quickly dissipates, a thin layer of film remains throughout.
Aroma of banana, cloves and what I detect to be a hint of peaches or apricot juice. Lightly metallic aroma/tin can aroma lowers the score but slightly.
Fruity flavors throughout as per the aroma; banana, peach and apricot, as well as a touch of citrus. Little to no bitterness, light hops spice and moderate clove spice from the phenols.
Medium to light bodied. Nice soft and almost creamy mouthfeel. Very gentle carbonation.
Decent representation of the style. Not exceptional, but drinkable.
