Deep and dark colored, cloudy with yeast. Brewed with a darker roasted malt which adds some maltiness to the refreshing flavour of the Hefe-Weissbier.

50cl bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours brown and cloudy with two to three fingers of frothy tan head. Smells a bit roasty with some citrus notes. Tastes roasty but kind of light-bodied. It’s good but seems a bit watered down.

Bottle, 50cl - Hazy brown beer with a nice head. Aroma is malty with hints of yeast. Soft flavor with weak hints of wheat, toffee and acidic. Not too impressed at all, needs a lot more flavor and fullness.

Draft - Poured a dark reddish amber in color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is fruity with plenty of yeast. Flavor is not that strong... slightly sweet with some banana, clove and citrus. Not at all like a traditional dunkel weisse, but pretty good...

50 cl bottle. It poured a dark reddish cloudy liquid with a huge foam which left allot of lacing. The smell is allot weaker compared to the normal hefe-weissbier. But there is a hint of the sweetness in the background. The taste is very smooth allot less fizzy then the normal version. It’s also more malty with a hint of some toasted bread. A very nice beer but the normal version was better.

Bottle sampled at SF International Beer Fest. Not as good as the hefe-weissbier but still solid. Dark amber color with a nice off-white head. Spices, earth, banana, and clove on the aroma. Sweet malt, roast, banana, clove, spices on the flavor. Smooth palate, medium body.

300ml on tap at the Lowenbrau Bier Keller, Sydney. Clear, very dark gold, with a pillowy soft head. Fine weizen characteristics. It is not too bitter at all, but has a crisp and fresh taste, with the smoothness of a dunkel to back it up. A very pleasant drink.

500ml bottle $2.49. Nice dark, cloudy brown color poured into a pilsener glass and had a foamy head but now its just a two centimeter blanket atop the beer. Aroma is slightly spiced but not what I would expect from a hefe, average. taste is nice and fruity and almost makes me think of chocolate bread for some reason. Not a bad beer at all considering the price. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 04-26-2009 22:51:50
