Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Serve in Stein, Weizen

I really enjoy these type of weizen / weisse beers, this particular beer is very sweet throughout. It gives you hints of orange and subtle tart fruits from start to finish. Very smooth and delicate on the palate, enjoyable. The smell and apperance are rather standard. I must add that this does contain ample spicing. Complexity and flavor is all there, I like it!

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.

500mL bottle. Label is slightly different than that in the picture. A murky iced-tea brown pour with a thick, fizzy tan head. Wheaty, lemony/banana, yeasty aroma with plenty of sweet malts underneath. Carbonation is very high and definitely detracts from the taste. It’s still very apparent that this is a delightfully well-balanced beer. Ample sweet, bready malts compliment the wheat and yeasty tanginess throughout. There are hints of apple pie filling in the aroma and taste.

Draught at the brewery restaurent. Orangish colour with a white creamy mostly diminishing head. Taste of malts and fruits. nice palate.

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.

50 cl bottle. Yeast at the bottom. Muddy dark colour with a nice creamy head. Lovely soft aroma of bread-like, banana and yeast nearly like candy. Great soft flavour too of yeast, wheat and banana taste. Very refreshing and tasty.

Bottle. Poured a nice dark, slightly cloudy orange with a large head that dissipated quickly. Aroma was not very strong, but did have the normal hefe banana, citrus, yeast smell to it. Flavor was quite good. A fine wheat beer.

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!
