<!-- p -->My neighbor opens a pack of stale banana bubblegum, then cleans the gum from the soles of his shoes. Only hexane gets that out. I froth up the natural shaving cream and spread it over my henna and amber beard. After, a shot of bananas ninety-nine on the side with a glass of sherry on the rocks. It’s ethereal, as I heard wind pipes curve with faint sound. A trained monkey peels a banana and hands it to me. Quite ripe. I follow this with an unripe green apple. The stem smacks long. <!-- p -->This beer seems a little pale for the style, but this is probably an ancestor to all the styles I’ve had, so this may not matter. I’ve nary had a beer where the fruit flavors were so articulate and on point. The banana and apples are acute and dominating. The mouthfeel is vacuous and escalating. A real pleasant feeling. A generally delectable ride through dunkelweizen land.

Thank you Masn/G2B.dk. It’s a dark golden beer with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of clove, wheat and fruit. The flavour has sweetness and notes of banana, wheat, clove, fruit and caramel. The body is full and harmonic, it’s truly nice!!! 2559

Poured a fairly light body despite the fairly dark color. The head was nice, just about perfect in my opinion. Smelled like a typical weisse beer with hints of fruit. Tasted very similar. Initially I thought it was basic, but by the end of the bottle I was loving this one. There’s a lot here, and it’s really smooth and sweet.

Hazy body with a fluffy white head. Nice and soft aroma of apple, cloves, oranges, and banana. Tastes of the aforementioned fruits, but very dry and crisp. Very nice and refreshing beer.

Nose is very spicy, with strong notes of banana and cloves. The mouthfel is thin, but the fruity flavors of the beer turn this to an advantage, and it seems to work well. Banana dominates the taste, but bread dough, apple, cloves, and roasted grains show through. Overall taste is light, with not a lot of the grain there. The finish sours, not complimenting the banana at all, but other than that it is a very good wheat.

Bottle. A hazy, orange beer with an off-white head. Banana and caramel on the nose, having company by some cloves. Mostly banana in the mouth, with caramel, yeast and citrus in the background. Quite sweet. The finish has a fine bitterness as well as the initial flavors. Effervescent, dry and full-bodied. A really pleasant dunkelweizen, it doesn’t get much better than this. (080829)

Bottle from BBM. This beer is really carbonated with active bubbles. A bubbly white head erupts then slowly fades away to nothing. It’s a very cloudy beer and deep orange in color. Lots of predictable esters are in the aroma, seems well balanced. There are notes of clove, banana, grain and flowers. It transitions into the flavor well. Soft floral notes along with lots of banana and a clove finish are hinted at. It is fair to say there is more caramel character than their standard hefeweizen, but it’s not near as roasty as some other dunkelweizens that I’ve had. I like it.

pours frothy white head that lasts-looks light brown and cloudy. aroma is sweet belgian yeast and malt with a hint of fruity wheat. flavor isnt very powerful on the wheat side-some sweet malt is present plus sweet bready yeastiness with a mild fruity aftertaste-not so much weisse character and very mellow overall but still good
