Big fluffy snow white head, cloudy lite gold colour body.
Clove and herbs on the nose.
Pear, wheat and clove with a little zing at the end- the clove is little strong. As it warms a bit of banana comes thru but then so does the clove come forward, which turns me off it a little. Also a slight watery note too which spoils it for me too. I'm kinda struggling to enjoy or even finish this beer- it's key features just arn't doin it for me.
I struggle to give it 5/10 and that's being generous.

Banana and a little clove - classic standard/ benchmark.
I enjoyed this quite a bit, it's been a while since I've had a wheat beer and this hit the spot.

Little head that that hangs around
Not alot on the nose
Bit spicier than the Franziskaner
And alot less banana-
More....apple? Pear? Not quite sure
Doesn't appeal to me as much as the Franziskaner
6/10

This took ages to pour - it had been in the fridge lying down for a few weeks & I rolled the the bottle before pouring.

This is my favourite brewery - so I am biased.
It pours with a big head. The colour is a cloudy caramel gold - not transparent with millions of bubbles making their way north. The smell has a hint of clove. Their is a definite taste of banana but it's a little muted by the yeast. The sweetness is candy or bubblegum-ish.
It's a little champagne like in the mouth- but more syrupy.
Clean, light and effervescent.
I can't say I've had more tha one in a sitting - as one 500ml bottle makes me tiddly!
Wonderful drop!!

Pours with a little head. a Pale yellow colour, it kinda had a green tinge to it. The label suggests banana, vanilla and a hint of cloves - the banana I can taste - and a sweet finish that could pass as vanilla.
Overall, not a bad drop at all.

Pours a pure white fluffy head and a cloudy light bronze. The lace covers the glass after each sip.
Sharp at first then the banana flattens it out with a note of clove.
Quite easy to drink and not a bad effort all round.
