4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A fresher and lighter taste than in Franziskaner and other "standard" weizens. This doesn’t mean that Duckstein would be watery, though, it is great. The excellent choice for a refreshing wheatbeer.

Auch das Duckstein Weizen besitzt dieselbe edle Aufmachung wie das rotblonde Oberbräu der Reihe.
Bernsteinartige Farbe und ein weizenbier-typischer Schaum kennzeichnen die Optik.
Der Geruch ist bananig, rauchig, leicht alkoholisch.
Das Bier hat einen fruchtig, malzigen Geschmack mit kleinen Sprenkeln von Röstigkeit.
Beim Weizen hat man sich mehr Mühe gegeben als beim Oberbräu. Schön süffig-elegant gleitet es über die Zunge.

Angenehm malzig-hopfiger Antrunk, wirkt recht frisch, auch der säuerliche Unterton fügt sich gut ein. Etwas einseitiger wird das Bier im Mittelteil, in dem das Bier seine Spritzigkeit etwas verliert, das hefige Aroma wird hier etwas schwächer, ist aber dominierend. Leicht säuerlich wirds dann aber doch noch, außerdem ist im Abgang ein röstmalzerner Ton erkennbar. Nicht schlecht, durch den hohen Preis wirds aber bei einer Flasche bleiben.

A: Pours a light red-hued brilliant color into the glass. Little white head that fades away as quick as it formed. Carbonation releasing the while time I drank it - about 10 minutes. Looked like Champagne almost. Not much smell straight away. Little malty. I think the constant release of CO2 is ruining any smells I think I smell. Nothing unpleasant however. Maltiness, roastiness. Slight bitterness, almost astringent. Not bad, but I’ve had better. Too much carbonation. Second beer today with that problem, which is weird for German beers. The carbonation just makes it feel a lot less viscous than it might be, although I doubt that. I guess I am just not a fan of overcarbonation as it makes it taste like mineral water, or at least feel like it. Could put away a few of these in an evening. Although I won’t be since I luckily only picked up one. I won’t seek this out, but I won’t say no if it’s the only thing around.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
[bottle]
Cardboardy malt aroma, with a slight, wheat sourness. Hazy orange-brown with a quickly dropping white fizz on top. Flavour is overwhelming cardboard, with a faint wheat sourness and some pleasant malt. Moderate bitterness and no hops to speak of. Medium body, moderate to low carbonation, clean finish.
