orange brown color with big creamy head. Big bubbles in the head. Lots of wheat aroma. Sweet smells. This is far more weizen than dunkel. Good quality beer but not what I was looking for in a Dunkelweizen.

A whole lot going on in the aroma here - think cinamon bread - warm with butter.. Yeasty and tangy but with an added sugary sweetness - a good quality dunkel. Only needs more palate.

Poured a murky amber color with a large off-white head. Yeasty aroma and flavor with strong notes of banana and clove. Lively mouthfeel. This one is tasty and stood out among the others in the wheat line up.

Aroma of herbs and spices, with some citrus, soft fruitiness, and a musty yeast elemnt. Appearance is an almost clear medium amber, the color of unpolished copper. The flavor echoes the aroma, but the fruitiness comes ahead of the spice this time, and the wheat and malt take predominance. The palate is wonderfully full and thick, with carbonation that starts out a little heavy but pulls back to a nice medium fairly quickly. This is a very complex beer, one that is not meant for mindlessly drinking but for taking your time and appreciating the interplay of flavors. A very nice beer.

Delicious. Thick, woodsy taste with the dominant tone being that of clove (peculiar, in my experience, but pleasant). Fizzy and sweet, a good brew.

Cloudy, banana scents, light acidic taste, a little bitter. A good wheat beer. And anyone that says otherwise is a crazy nut.

Bottle. Pours hazed amber with an enormous manilla colored head. Very elegant looking and definitely "attractive". Nose is bananas, wheat, yeast, some strawberry notes, light bubblegummy esters, minimal spiciness, and sweet malts. Taste is nice as well. Rich fruits, banana, light candyish notes, spices, sweet maltiness, light yeast, and wheat. Medium bodied and slightly effervescent. Refreshing and at times bordering on creamy. Finishes as well as it began. Light bubblegum, bananas, ripened fruits, light wheat, yeast, light spices, and sweet malts.

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!
