Pours dark amber/brown very cloudy. Large foam head, lasting. Aroma of dark wheat and, hops, and a tinge of alcohol. Mouthfeel is sorta thick. Flavor is dominated by apple, wheat, and banana. Very fruity.

Pours a cloudy dark apple cider color with a small white head. A strong nose of bitter banana liqueur and spices. A very sweet artificial banana flavor and finishes with a ton of clove. Medium bodied and refreshing. Not my favorite style, but pretty tasty.

Pours a deep amberbrown with a big foamy head. Smells of wheat bread and malt. Maybe a little alcohol. Tastes more of the same, caramel malt and a brief hop finish. Tatses a little like flat coke. O.K. but I won’t drink again unless paired with the right food.

500, capped and foiled. Pours slightly hazy dark brown with a thick, moussy tan head. Intermittent lace above. Nice brown bread nose. Medium body, a bit on the light side, with very little palpable carb. Mild sweet brown bread and nuts shine through. Brief bready finish. Tasty, understated, but capable of surviving the transatlantic journey.

Brown clear colour with a large foamy head. Nice wide malty taste with roastiness. Aroma has some spices and chocolate. A slightly light body. Very innovating, indeed.

Bottled. Much better than the usual Franziskaner. CLoudy brown with a citrus taste, inter alia.

Poured from 1 pint 9 oz. bottle into a stein. Poured a very big head and a nice citrus aroma. It was a nice light brown color on pour. The citrus smell was nice original taste is very nice and smooth but it doesn’t stick on the palate long - in that is the let down.

Murky brown, medium head (as for weizen standards). Aroma of lemon, apples, cherry bubblegum, caramel and yeast. The flavor is less intense than expected, a little lemon-like acidity (wheat) and a touch sweet (caramel); nothing riveting here. I miss the freshness of weizen I enjoy so much. As for the palate, a bit watery. I suspect this sample is not young. I’ve had better dunkel weizen, for instance Weihenstephaner...
