Draught at The Ginger Man, NYC. Slightly hazy reddish-gold with a medium white head. Aroma and flavour have a typical weizen tanginess tempered with some sweet malts. Flavour has a nice hint of bubblegum as well. Pretty nice stuff.

Cloudy golden copper color with a persistant off white head. Relatively no aroma to speak of but there is a hint of wheat. Flavor of yeast and wheat with a malty body. Tastes tart with a mildly bitter finish.

A matlier nose than expected. Deeper golden color as well. Its a marzen beer malt flavor orver a wheat beer which is interesting.

Pours hazy orange with a big frothy white head. Aroma- orange, lemon, apricot, caramel, honey, wheat, yeast. Taste of clove, bread, orange and yeast funk. Crisp thick body, clean finish. Interesting and a unique mix of styles.

Not the best erdinger I have had. A little more dark and complex than a kristal but not a dunkel. some cloves and banana, maybe a hint of cinamon. poured a dark amber. somewhat fizzy and cloudy.

(br-btl navy-lbl, "Oktoberfest Weizen")

hzy-cpr, foamy-wh-head, nice-lace, med-eff, ^co2, med-body.

aroma: wheat-tart, mtllc, §silage, §alchl, no-hefe-esters(banana, clove, or bubblegum; well maybe just a faint hint of green bananas later on).

flavor is very clean. soft-§tart-fruit-wheat up front and §crml-malt ^co2 in the swallow. aftertaste is sticky but dryish(not sweet) §funky yeasty. no hefe-esters in the flavor either (likely the weihenstephaner strain).

unique as far as being somewhere between a purely pale-malt hefe and a dunkel. has the clean crispness of the pales but is a little more complex and sweet, and does not have as much minerality as most of the dunkels.

Labelled as Oktoberfest Weissbeir. Aroma of sweet grainy wheat, some banana. Starts lightly sweet with a touch of hop bitterness turning more bland toward a thinner smooth finish.

Amber pour with thick white head. The nose is lightly wheaty but there is very little in the way of clove of banana. There is a touch of light ale fruitiness and a touch of caramel. Moderately sweet but very bland. There is a fairly light wheaty character, but not much else. Really, really boring.

Cloudy amber/cider color; Light to medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of wheat & bananas; Flavor of wheat, light bananas & citrus, with some lemon overtones; Overall, seems a little lighter than a regular Erdinger but still a good brew.
