Draught at Birch & Barley/Chuchkey. Hazy reddish color. Aroma moderate malty (caramel, light smoke, rye bread), light hoppy (citrus, spicy of dryhopping) and acidic. Flavor medium sweet and bitter/sour. Light to medium body, low carbonation.

Draft. Murky brown body, beige head. Aroma is moderately sweet, banana, some caramel, light smoke, cotton candy. Taste is meduim sweet, caramel, light banana, smoke. Light-medium body, low carbonation.

Excellent, dunkelweizen. Lots of banana and esters but a crisp finish of toasted bread. Cloudy brown and creamy. Quite tasty and refreshing.

Draft at Fields. Pours a somewhat hazy burnished medium brown. Dense and creamy tan head that sticks around for quite a while. Big caramel and balsamic nose, very tangy and almost fruity, but not quite. Creamy medium body with well-placed carb. Caramel and strawberries on the mid palate. Mild and sweet, showing residual sugars as well as yeasty tang. Fairly clean finish. Pretty hefty and sweet for being as refreshing as it is...or is that in reverse?
