Commercial Description:
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.

Aroma: Fruity, like apples and pears, with a hint of tobacco. Malts are well-developed, chocolaty with a hint of coffee. Appearance: Thick, murky brown, with a pea-soup greenish tint. Creamy, uniform head with good retention. Flavor: Very much like apple cider, or applesauce. Yum! Toasted malts are the base flavor, with a bit of clove and alcohol. Reminds me of bread pudding. Finish is sweet and refreshing, not sugary in the least. Palate: Glorious! Incredibly creamy, with little sharp bursts of carbonation. Overall: This is quite yummy, but I can imagine it might get somewhat cloying after a while. Still, very drinkable.

I like this beer for a macro. The Germans know their beer and even their macro brewed beers are very nice. This one is nice and malty and hints of a nice bread can be found also.

Bottle-chilled and ready to go after a long drive to NC, thanks Gabs. Nice orange brown hazy pour and foam head. Yeast up front, malt texture and what a great blend. Aroma of bread and grains mixes into the body and pallet. This was a refreshing quaffer, only thing missing was a large Stein.

Draft: Poured a amber color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was sweet banana and bread. The flavor was smooth with fruit, caramel and a hint of cloves present. Overall, an easy drinking beer, one I’d get again.

Cloudy amber/orange with light tan head. Aroma of banana, clove, bubblegum and spice. Flavor is spicy with wheat and banana too. Medium palate leads way to a metallic but spicy finish.

Fredagsbaren på Biologi, Aarhus, DK Bottled, 020508. Aroma and flavor of banana. With a hint of caramel/malt sweetness wich balances the high carbonation

50cL bottle courtesy of Naka. Pours a dark copper color with a thick, two-finger, foamy head that dissipates rather quickly. Moderate lacing. Nose is sweet, with banana and spicy clove, some bready notes with a slight roast hint. Taste is lots of malt, sweet with mild roast. Lots of banana notes with clove spice, just like a DW should be. This is really tasty. I’m a big fan of Dunkelweizens, and this one is spot on. All of the characters that I’d expect. Good stuff.
