500ml bottle NO DATE CODE. Apparently they give a freshness date on German sold bottles but for us in the US. Anyway, a dark golden with a thick white head which doesn’t last very long. Citrus, white pepper and yeast in the aroma with some faint spicy notes. Medium bodied with a low carbonation and slightly slick finish. Flavor is on the sweet side, with some fruit and light bitterness. Not sure how fresh this one is but I’m guessing it’s not. Really would like to see some decipherable date coding on these bottles.
4.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Beauty of a pour as expected from the Bavarian masters. Hazy copper-gold beer adorned with a super creamy, thick, white head. (This went into a Guinness glass out of necessity; wish I had a weizen glass.) Aroma is so delicate and delicious: a perfect blend of banana, bubblegum, and yeast. Outstanding refreshment factor: palate is dead-on balanced. Bubblegum flavor comes through delectably. A bit of lingering spice on the finish. This is one of the beers that got me super fired up for my trip to Germany last year; finally getting to the official review and I’m remembering why. I love Ayinger: probably my favorite German beer. Must visit the brewery next trip.

4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
500ml bottle. Best before 12/11.
It pours a darker hefeweizen color, not quite as dark as a typical dunkelweizen, it is a ur-weisse (traditional/pre-modern weisse) after all. It is cloudy with a foamy, creamy-looking off-white head.
The smell is dominated by bananas with just a hint of clove and wheat.
The flavor continues the banana theme. This is just a banana bomb and then some. There is some clove , some apple, and some lemon, yes but the dominant yeast flavor here is banana. There isn’t much in the way of roasted malt in the taste. There is a slight bit of hops that round it out.
This one is delicous x 10, it is a hot day in Munich today and you would be hard-pressed to find a better thirst-quencher. Screw the strawberry-lime-derpaderp, just let the yeast do it’s thing and you’ll get this.
World-class.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Perfectly balanced flavor that is pleasant to feel (in taste) for banana, no unpleasant odor, excellent beer in summer days
