Bottle at Novare Res.
Pours a golden yellow with a huge frothy head. The aroma is biscuity and very orange-like, smells like someone peeled an orange and banana in this beer. The flavor isn’t fruity at all, sweet malt, bready, and pretty nice, but simple. This was pretty neat.

Bottle. Look: Hazy dark orange (almost brown). Smell: Sweet, fruity and spicy in a way that reminds me of a sahti. Orange, apple, banana etc, with honey and some stinky cheese. Taste: Very fruity! Also some christmas spices and vanilla. Nice bitterness in aftertaste. Overall: A little too sweet for me, but it’s definitely a good brew. Keep up the good work Ayinger!

Banana and malt aroma with some florals.
Cloudy butterscotch almost caramel color with an apple hue. Minimal white almost biege head with lots of action.
Banana, toasted malt, and wheat grain taste with a hint of caramel in the background and some florals throughout.
Medium bodied, some buttery and resiny feel, with a crisp comfortable carbonation.
This is a craft beer and when consumed swirl in the sediment in an appropriate glass and enjoy.

Pours golden orange/amber. Lots of carbonation, a large head results. Malty, yeasty aroma. Some fruits as well. Flavor is rich with yeasty, fruity, malt sweetness, spicy notes, subtle sourness, and an ever so slight roasty finish. Tasty brew.

1/21/09 From the bottle. Aroma is sour banana forward with a spicy phenol background. Appearance is clear gold with a well maintained white head. Flavor is sour forward that fades to sweet and highly fruity with a very light peppering. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, with a low carb texture. Overall, quite good, but seems more like a standard German hef than a Dunkel.
