1st beer I tried from 7/13 trip to BOTW. JB was to also go, but be japped out at the last minute. One 16.9 oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber with a fluffy orangy white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is big on bananas, a little wheat, some spice. Flavor is fruity with some spice, a little bread. Good beer.

excellent example of a Dunkelweizen. Roasted malt flavor, highly drinkable. Interesting appearance, dark golden color, and an infinite amount of carbonation.

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!

Bottle. Enjoyed this beer thoroughly. Had this in the beginning of introduction to craft beer. Tasted like a hefeweizen with more to it.

UPDATED: SEP 14, 2007 Bottled 0,50L. Much voluminous and abundant head, medium resistance. Dark orange color, a lot hazy, dense and bubbly. Much rich and fruity scent with wine cellar notes, braced wheat and cereals. Sweetish and aged scent, not much prickly. Pleasant and balanced alcoholic tone with aged malty end.
Thanks to mabjork for this beer.

Bottle. Light notes of cereal, flowers, soap and damp basement with a hint of clove and a strong sour milk smell. Head is fizzy white, mostly lasting and has fair lacing, color is murky brown. Flavor starts moderately acidic and lightly bitter, then finishes lightly acidic and sour. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. The sour milk smell was hard to get over, maybe it had something to do with all the other hoppy beers I had that day. I’ll re-rate it by itself next chance I get.

Beautiful shimmering orange, hazy, bright white fluffy head. Nose is sour, with a bit of banana. Palate is subdued with bananas, its got a nice mouthfeel, ends dry. A bit of cloves. A nice beer.
