4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
From a 500 ml bottle purchased at "Keller’s IGA" in Cincinnati, Ohio - This one pours a straw-hued brew with a tall white head and the signature hefe aroma of bananas and cloves. Tastewise, it’s a great, true hefeweizen.
3.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours an extremely cloudy, light-brown and orange color with extremely thick white head. Aroma is not as pleasing as the taste, which is the very run-of-the-mill bread/citrus/banana/sweet malt typical of this type of brew. While it doesn’t stand out per se, it’s a very enjoyable beer.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a 500ml bottle into a weizen glass, cloudy amber with a big beige head. Aroma of yeast and malt. Flavor is of dark bread and light sweet malt. Very smooth. Not that distinct.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma of banana, citrus, yeast and somewhat spicyness. Cloudy, orange coloured with a lasting, creamy, off-white head. Taste is sweet with banana, citrus, yeast and some earthy/bread like background. Quite nice, well bodied and refreshing weizen.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: DEC 16, 2007 1/2 L bottle in pint glass. Huge creamy off-white, lasting head rests on a cloudy, apple-cider colored beer. Aroma is a little banana with citrus and cider. Taste is similar with even less banana, and more peppery, maybe from the high levels of carbonation (not a complaint; the high CO2 level is not overdone, and is nice in this beer). Very thirst quenching, goes down easy and has a smooth palate. Not real heavy; could definitely be a real nice session brew. Unlike some of the other dunkelweizens I have had, swirling the yeast sediment around and pouring it in the glass seems to actually diminish the banana/clove taste and aroma that I like in this kind of beer. I have had better, but to be fair they were on draft in Germany, so this is pretty darn good shipped to the States in a bottle.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Golden color with creamy white head.
Aroma is banana and spaciy, but not so strong. Mouthfeel is very smooth. Flavor is very nice: fruty, complex and great body. A little more bitter than general wheat beer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pungent banana and bubblegum aroma. Cloudy dark copper color with a big white head. Not as dark as i was expecting. There flavor is nice and estery, bubblegum and bananas, also some nice toasted bread. A very excellent dunkelweizen. Somewhat of a tangy aftertaste.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. Pour is hazy brown / orange with a pillowy white head. Took quite some time for the head to settle. Aroma is malt, yeast and wheat. Some sweetness too, but smooth. Initial taste is a malt and wheat, balanced perfectly. Finish is the sweetness and a nice bitter. Extremely drinkable, reminds me why I love well made German beers.
