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
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Very murky slight goldish/brown in appearance, similar to an English ale. The aroma is up front wheat grain, then dominated by banana and malts. The flavor is similar to the aroma, dominated by bananas and has a good maltiness. Normally I’m not a dunkelweizen fan but this is incredibly good, par for the course for this brewery.

500 ml hazy burnt orange definitely unfiltered. Sweet up front with a musty wheat finish. Very yeasty too, adding some of that musty spice. Maybe subtle cloves and some sweet green apple but not much. A bit dry on the back end making it a bit hoppier than some other dark wheat’s but i really like it for the style. It is a step back in time with an old school traditional German flavor. Stands out on its own and i like it’s simple goodness.

Pours murky copper amber with a huge beige creamy head leaving plenty of lace. Great carbonation. Aroma is very yeasty, bready, cereals, bananas, pears, smoke and grassy hoppy, mmm love it. Crispy fruity and yeasty mouthfeel. Flavor is very fruity, perry, bananas, yeasty, spicy, grassy and slightly smokey. Medium bitter fruity palate. Finishes very nice with a nicely balanced fruity, yeasty and bitter aftertaste.

500mL into weizen glass. The pour is a clear (?) gold with a fizzy head. No retention or lace. Nose is sugar and medium yeasty esters. Taste is burnt apple and soap water. So far from Weihenstephaner Dunkel it is hysterical.

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Angenehm fruchtiger Geruch. Gleichzeitig kräftig anmutend mit Spuren von Fichtenharz.
Im Mundraum fruchtig-frisch (Fruchtkaugummi), bananig. Im weiteren Ablauf wird das Bier wieder kräftiger, kräuterbeeinflußt und läutet mit coolen Bitterstoffen den Abgang ein.
Sehr gut, was hier aus der Flasche kommt. Ein tolles dunkles HW mit breit gefächerter Aromapalette, die auch noch die Nase verwöhnt. Muß man getrunken haben!

UPDATED: NOV 12, 2011 NO bananas in this. Dont know what everyone is tasting. I taste nutty, bitter sweetness. More bitter and perhaps walnut with a creamy pallet. The nose is rasin and mild citrus. There is a full wealth of wheat here and bread flavors. The oak aftertaste is also coupled with more walnut but no banana. Average yet good somehow session beer.
