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.

Picked up a botte at the World Market. Reminds of a belgian a little, crossed with a wheat beer. Food color and body, with a light colored head. Mine was a cloudy amberish orange color. Full bodied and very drinkable. Thumbs up!

Not great - not horrible. It’s good to see what a Dunkelweizen ’should’ taste like, not what our opinion of them is. Pours a dark brown with white head. Aroma is bananas, with a touch of must. Not overly sweet, but with a clove note in there. Finishes on a clean note.

Poured a very nice Red/orange/brown colour with a dense and tall off-white head. Aroma of wheat, cloves, and roasted malts. Flavour same as aforementioned with banana, toast, spices, and caramel. Medium to full-dodied with a fairly sweet, spicy finish. Excellent.

Appearance: Pours a medium brown body with a tall, meringue-like, ivory-colored head. Smell: Clove-scented toasted wheat aroma with notes of apple juice and, to a lesser degree, bananas. Taste: Sweet, toasty, and tangy malted wheat. A bit of treacle and caramel sweetness present. Fruity tastes of bananas and Granny Smith apples. Pinch of clove. Light spicy hops and bitterness. A disquieting wateriness begins to the develop midway. Dull, muted spice on the dry finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Downright fizzy carbonation. Drinkability: Pass. While not bad any stretch of the imagination, it fails to show the depth, grace, and deliciousnicity of the finer examples of the style.

A good Weissbier, with a different taste. But if you make a blind test it will be hard to make a difference with the classic weissbier

Pours milk chocolate brown with a creamy light tan head that has pretty good retention. Aroma is of wheat, floury lemon tart, severely overripe banana, vanilla, and berry. Flavor is heavy on raw wheat and toasted barley, plenty of banana pudding with Nilla wafers, a hint of over cooked caramel and some light citrus notes. Finishes buttery and tart with a honey-wheat bread backbone. Good stuff, not great.
