Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Serve in Stein, Weizen

Light amber (this is the dunkel weizen??) with a huge frothy head. Nose is estery but also sweeter in malts and some hints of smoked malts. Medium bodied, banana flavors with tea-leaf hints and long lasting sweet aftertaste.

#3 of 3 ayinger for the night. time to go to red seal :) on to the rating- pours out a darker color wheat looking unfiltered beer. fruity smell, and taste, quickly disipating head unlike the brau weiss. i like this alot, these 3 beers were great tonight. and this was the best one to finish with. excellent. now if only i could buy celebrator dopplebock.......

A better dunkleweizen than I have had. Tastes very bubblegummy and wheaty. Pours a darkish hefe color that is ligther than most dws. Pretty good and smooth finish and taste. I enjoyed it. This brewery knows whats up.

Multi-colored fall leaves with a large and lasting head of white foam. Lovely caramel and toffee aromas with hints of bubble gum, clove, banana, apple, spruce, chocolate and vanilla. Flavor is very rich, unlike most other Dunkelweizens I’ve tasted. Peanut butter and chocolate, with hints of peppers, which leads into a finish full of bubble gum, banana, fruit and other various yeast attributes. A very good beer.

6/25/03, draft, Munich. Tried this dunkel-weiss at the Ayinger brewery restaurant and biergarten on a beautiful warm June evening. I can see why the Germans love their biergartens so much in the summer months! A golden brown, unfiltered, hazy dark wheat beer with a large white head. Good lacing. Fruity, spicy, citrus aroma with cloves and roasted malts. Fruity, wheaty, sweet-n-sour hefeweizen flavor with roasted malt depth. Full bodied, easy carbonation and very drinkable.

500ml bottle. Pours a murky brownish amber with a big creamy beige head that recedes very slowly to a thick cap of foam, leaving some nice lacing. Aroma is sweet with lots of wheat presence but with plenty of dark malts as well. There are other sweet fruit notes with apples and pears and a healthy dose of cloves and even some citrus. Taste is honey-coated bananas with dark roasted malts. It still tastes mostly like an amped up hefe with the yeast dominating though the malts add a nice layer underneath. The finish has a nice mellow spiciness. The mouthfeel is highly carbonated, very active on the palate, almost too active but it’s OK since the body is pretty meaty for the style. Another fantastic beer from Aying, who really know their way around a wheat beer. I could drink this all night.

There’s a weird nose on this. I’ve had a few great local versions of this style in Germany, more crisp, slightly darker, and perhaps even more effervescent but with less tendency to foam.

Bottled. Beautiful carbonation thought this was Weheinstephan in blind tasting. Floral yeasts and clove are delicious in this brew. Was expecting a maltier taste due to the roasted malt appearance. Was pleasantly surprised how drinkable and delicious.
