Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Serve in Stein, Weizen

Hazy orange-brown with a massive pillowing white head that required 4 pauses during the pour into my big weiss glass. Big aromas of bananas and wheat. Soft mouthfeel, flavours of banana, vanilla, toffee, wheat, and sweet spices. The finish is almost tart. This was delicious!

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2003 This brew poured a medium sized head of finely sized white bubbles and a transparent brown body. It had a mild hop aroma if any aroma at all. Its malty fruity flavor finishes slightly fizzy. We paid $7.49 for this brew which was not worth the price IMHO.

Dark amber color with semi-large head that disappears immediately. Aroma is of heavy malt and wheat. Oddly enough, the taste does not confirm that. Slight malt flavor to match a healthy dose of wheat. Some fruit, maybe banana, as well. Fairly thin. Quite tasty!

Hazy amber with an off white head. Nice tart wheat, brown sugar banana clove aromas. Smooth medium body. Malty sweet glazed banana flavor with mild clove and tart wheat to balance. Very good dunkel.

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.

Bottle: Brownish golden, not as cloudy as the Brau, mediocre pillowy off-white head, quickly settles, decent lacing, light carbonation.   Bready, wheaty, cloves, soft banana, but no citrus unlike its cousin.   Remains bready on the tongue, wheaty, but also has a smokey/charred wood quality to it.   Very clean, fairly big bodied with a well rounded mouthfeel.   The breadiness and clove aspect linger well beyond the finish.   Tasty, but not as tasty as the Brau!

Bottle. Cloudy, ruddy brown with a dense, thick offwhite head. Good rich, spicy banana aroma and flavours. Hints of apples as well. A very solid and complex dunkelweizen.

Lightly cloudy dark amber with a light froth. Aroma like a banana Hoegaarden! Flavour and mouthfeel start out zesty. Banana and light clove notes. Yeasty finish and then back to the banana and clove for the finish. Blends together nicely.
