mikey (321), farmington, Utah, USA Jun 18, 2005 Poured a cloudy golden orange with a fluffy white head. The nose was of lemon, cloves, biscut, molasses and banana. The taste started with banana, cinnamon and clove, then lemon moves into the forground. Yeast, malt and coffee flavors round out the end. The finish had a slight oak presence to it. I think this is a near textbook representation of a Dunkel Weizen. A very solid, enjoyable beer.
rds (93), USA Sep 7, 2008 A nice amber body with a noticeably large white head, this wheat has complex flavor that rewards deliverate tasting--citrus, cloves, malt. A treat. dkachur (781), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Sep 7, 2008 500 mL bottle from Wine Warehouse. Cloudy amber pour with a large head. Decent retention and moderate lacing. Very yeasty aroma has notes of banana, pineapple, bread, spice. Similar taste, yeast, wheat, banana, peach. Nicely carbonated, full bodied. Swalden_28 (576), McKinney, Texas, USA Sep 7, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrel in McKinney, TX. Pours a dark cloudy gold. Aroma has light notes of bannana. Flavor has some bannana notes and a nice wheat malt backbone, lightly sweet, seems to have a very light pepper spice as well. Mouthfeel is light and soft with high carbonation. Over all this is a nice and balanced beer. ZiggyG (129), Gladstone, Oregon, USA Sep 1, 2008 500 mL bottle. Pours dark gold. Huge white billowy head, probably 3+ inches. Lots of big sediment, almost too much. Very cloudy. Smell is yeasty and a bit funky. Wow, esters slam into your tongue on tasting. Banana and bubblegum, getting sweeter and sweeter as they head to the back of the throat. Mouthfeel is light-medium. Very nice refreshing brew. This one has a little funk in the aftertaste but it hardly diminished the quality. EricE (233), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Aug 22, 2008 Hazy orange-brown pour with a very thick silky head. Wheaty aroma with lots of spice and some funky yeast. Dry cloves and spices. Lots of wheat flavor with a bit of yeast. Slightly tart with citrus and lemon notes as well as apple and banana. Very fruity and delicious. Crisp, refreshing, easy to drink beer.
