Ayinger Bräu-Weisse

Mmmmmm..beer that looks like chicken broth - solid thick goodness! More like a fresh squeezed juice (pinapple) but a bit on the brown side. Huge head that was poured didn’t last leaving no more than a ring - more than enough to constantly stick to the glass. Massive banana aroma smells just like the dehydrated candied ones taste, mild spices and a soft pleasant wheat puts it all together. Has a light tangy taste, soft bananas and a healthy ammount of yeast. Adequate carbonation leaves the tongue somewhat tingly with a soft, yeasty finish. Be warned though, this beer has an overall banana quality that can be a bit overpowering. highly drinkable even if it is a little too gassy.

Draught at Capone’s: Aroma of dust, brown paper bag, slight lemon, and a hint of wheat. Poured dark yellow/flaxen in color with a small, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Very hazy. Slightly sparkling. Ok lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of wheat, yeast, slight spices, slight coriander, banana, and bubblegum. Light to medium body. Slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Yeast, wheat, and light spice finish. Not bad for a German Hefe, but I prefer the somewhat bolder US versions.

500ml bottle at home. Pours a hazy orange/golden color with a nice white head. Aroma is very fruity with mostly banana. Flavor is sweet with some banana and yeast, palate is quite carbonated but still very well balanced. A good hefeweizen that goes well on a warm summer day.

Bottle- pours a very cloudy golden amber color. Solid white head. Scents of banana, citrus and clove. Flavors of the same with hints of lemon and grapefruit. Very carbonated, almost a tad much for me. Good Hefe overall.

Pours a beautiful hazy peach with huge frothy white head that lingers nicely. Aroma is loaded with grapefruit and lemon citrus, in addition to yeasty spice such as clove and banana. Flavor is an incredible balance of citrus sweetness and caramel malt. Very floral and sweet, finishing with lingering citrus. Palate is very rich for the style, starting creamy and finishing dry and clean. Amazing example of the style.

Pours a nice cloudy golden yellow, nice bright white head. Smells of wheat, citrus, and spices. Very good Weisse.

Bottle (Alko). Pours dark yellowish and very hazy, in my opinion almost too hazy. Head is quite thick but doesn’t leave much lacing. Quite rounded aroma is lightly, sweetly fruity, yeasty, tangy spicy, lightly hopped and naturally wheaty. Lightly fruity flavor is somewhat sour, yeasty and in the aftertaste dry and well-hopped. Abundant carbonation is refreshing.

Great aroma of fruit and honey. Excellent mouthfeel. Medium bodied and not too bready as far as hefeweizens go. Really a classic fruity-spicy hefe. Highly recommend. Enjoyed at Nick’s on Central Ave, Newark.
