Poured from 11:2-ounce bottle into a fluted glass. Beautiful hazy yellow-orange in color, with a thick, brilliant white head. Typical phenolic character for the style. Pleasant aromas and flavors of clove and banana, with a hint of bubblegum and a little herbal spiciness. Medium bodied, with a crisp, dry finish and very little residual bitterness. This is one excellent beer, not to be missed.

500 ml bottle
Pours a monster, two finger white head into my willi becher glass. The head is super creamy looking. The body is a hazy, golden yellow, with what I can only describe as the highest carbonation I have ever seen. This head looks out of this world, so far this is a great looking beer.
The nose is just fantastic. Huge banana, clove. Smells extremely refreshing. Spicy. The wheat is there. The only reason this doesn’t get a 5 is because there is a small aroma, somewhat sweet, that is just a little odd. Amazing aroma.
The flavor is amazing as well. The flavors don’t pop as much as on the nose, but they are still there. Banana and clove blend together, with a smooth overall palate. Gotta love them esters. Sweet, not too sweet. Very simple, and like I said, more mellow on the flavors, but still an amazing beer. No off flavors at all, it’s very clean.
The mouthfeel is great, the carbonation isn’t as high as it looked, but it’s still a good, medium carbonated beer. The body has some girth to it, yet it remains light and clean enough to be very crushable. This beer refreshes my palate, and keeps it that way, amazing.
The drinkability is very, very high.
The appearance turned out good, but confusing. This head was amazing, just killer, had 100% for over ten minutes, with a quarter inch staying the whole way down the glass. However, the lacing was centered on one side of the glass, and was more like one leaning sheet, than it was continuous lacing. Overall still a great looking beer.
Overall, what more is there to say? Super good beer.

Benchmark for this style. Great yeasty and fruity notes on a cloudy pour with a silky head. A wonderful, wonderful, wonderful beer that is both refreshing and fulfilling. A must have.

500ml bottle poured into a weizen glass.
Cloudy deep golden yellow color with massive silky white head that withstands with exceptional retention, it doesn’t go anywhere until the last sip but just sits there atop and only leaves some trail of lace.
There are good yeasty profiles in a nose with sweet bubblegum yet big banana and banana bread covers through. Then it is crisp citrus and lime, clove spice and pepper, as well as rich aroma of dough and bready malt.
The taste is true to the style with the lead of fruity ester ranging from banana and banana bread as well as citrus and lime. Clove and peppery spice reveal in the middle together with rich dough and bready malt. Hop is just there at the end with a slight bitter touch.
Medium body with some good crisp and moderate lively carbonation through the palate, the mouthfeel is so smooth with some refreshing feel and dry finish.
This one is truly a benchmark of what traditional Hefeweizen is all about, truly good old beer.
