The weizen notes are all there: banana, a little clove, lemon zest, a background of pale straw malt. The aroma does what a wheat beer aroma should do, and the cloudy amber-orange pour with its creamy white head looks the part in a tall glass. Krombacher de-alcoholise this after fermentation rather than brewing it short, which helps preserve the yeast character that makes weizens distinctive. Where it gives a bit of ground is in body. Full-strength weizens have a pillowy, almost thick quality; this is lighter and noticeably thinner on the palate. The banana and cereal malt come through, there's a hint of red apple and gentle wheat spice, and it finishes with a soft tartness that cleans things up. Not a perfect replica, but it reads as a proper wheat beer more convincingly than a lot of AF versions do.
