Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Serve in Stein, Weizen

High carbonated beer. Cloudy darker golden body with a huge cream head. Smell and taste is very yeasty and citrusy. I got some wheat and banana but mostly citrus. Not sure if this beer is as good as it’s been rated. I will have to rerate eventually.

UPDATED: DEC 13, 2009 Bottle; orangey brown pour. Great aroma. Taste of mild fruit and banana notes, with spice The body is good but thought it would be a little fuller bodied. A good dark wheat beer

sample from the bottle at The 2009 Great Decatur Beer Festival on 10/17/09... pours a cloudy golden with a white head... some sweet yeast and light citrus notes on the nose... banana and light spice over the body... nice clean finish - one of the better wheat beers I’ve had...

banana and citrus on the nose with a hint of alcohol. white foamy head barely hangs on. Cloudy amber pour. Absolutely delicious. bread, banana and spice notes. No alcohol taste to speak of. (It is only 5.8). Smooth mouth feel. great fruity notes linger on the palate.

UPDATED: OCT 1, 2010 A delicious banana, clove wheat beer. The beer is a shade of burnt orange with a lot of haze and a creamy head. Aroma is mostly banana with good wheat spice. Flavor is same with citric note. Feel is properly well-carbonated. This is a very good wheat beer and one of the few that I would put up with Weihenstephan’s lineup. Edit 10/1/2010: Not quite as good as their hefe in any category but very drinkable and a great beer to pair with a hearty meal. Good looking beer with an orange-brown body and a big, creamy, ecru head. It’s entirely hazy. The aroma is banana bread with some fairly mild spice. It definitely tends toward slightly toastier/breadier flavors than the hefe, though I might not have noticed that if I hadn’t had the hefe so recently. The taste is sweet and fairly full. Carbonation is appropriate for the style, though, perhaps, on the softer side. Sweet wheat flavor is plentiful, but it’s a bit toned down. Good beer, but I haven’t had enough dunkelweizen to assess it competently.

poured hazy orange with a moderate foamy white head. Lots of visible bubbles in the beer. Aroma is banana, clove, lemon, and yeast. Flavor is a bit sour and fruity, with bready malts and spice on the finish. Very spritzy light mouthfeel. Tasty.

Bottle. A sweet smell, strong aroma of bananas and some yeast and champagne. The white creamy head is medium large and has a long duration. The body is dark orange, lively and cloudy. The taste is a mixture of light bitter and sour, rather short. The body is light, creamy and with a lively carbonation. A good solid Weizen.

Orangish color, off white head. Yeasty and fruity aroma. Flavor is a bit spicy, with yeast and bananas. Good and smooth.
