The colour is gold-orange (10 EBC), the liquid is hazy. The three finger head is off-white. It sinks slowly leaving some lacing.

The smell is spicy and somewhat sour with some alcohol and quite a lot of sweet bread-like notes. Cloves, allspice and a touch of nutmeg. Ripe apples and fruit candy.

The taste is a bit thick and sweet. Spices and hints of plastic. Some roasted nutty flavours. Sour bread-like flavours and a light fruity bitterness. Some metal. Medium body. The aftertaste is semi-sweet with growing notes of mature bananas and banana peels. Frowsy sweet notes and fruit jam in the finish.

The carbonation is medium strong, there are many mid-sized smooth bubbles. The liquid is a bit sticky.

An OK hefeweizen. It is probably better when is is really fresh.

I had this beer in my cellar for more than ten months when i noticed that the expiredate was the 25th of june 2010.

It was time to drink this one from Denmark. I got this one in a trade with the Cracked kettleshop in Amsterdam.

I poured the beer in my Struise glass. The beer is not very carbonated but the view was good. A big nice head and a slightly darkyellow fluid.

Good smell but a bit too heavy for a weizenbeer as i know them from Germany. Smell some banana and bread.

A good taste, i liked the beer drinking it. The mouthfeel was better than normal but like i said with the bit heavy smell the mouthfeel was also a bit more like a normal ale.

If you see one? Try it!
