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.

500ml bottle. Poured into a small weizen. Cloudy deep amber with a huge almond color meringue head. Cereal malt aroma with underlying banana yeast note. A trace of spice on the nose as well. Dark bread malt and banana flavor, with a bit of lemony tartness. While there is fair bit of fine carbonation, it tastes slightly watery in the palate. Underwhelming.

Nice big head with a wheaty aroma and a nice soft taste with a lingering aftertaste, a very surprising beer as I didnt think much of it when I bought it

Pours with a dark gold honey color and a head that be be very large depending on the pour. An aroma that loses something from the roasted malts as they tend to dominate. Some spices, bread, light body. Not bad but I prefer the regular Hefe.

This beer looks like a typical hefe-weisse, only darker. Aroma is heavenly, with fruits, spices, yeast, and chocolate malt all present. Flavor is much the same. This is somewhat bitter up front. Well carbonated. Dry finish. Not my favorite, but a great wheat nonetheless.

Poured in a weizen; a murky, orange tinted brown. Large creamy off white head. Aroma of yeast/bubblegum, banana, clove, some malt; maybe a little soapy. Flavor was much of the same, but with a pronounced roasted malt. Refreshing flavor, crisp; perhaps a little watery. Good value.

A great beer, this dunkelweizen has a great aroma of wheat and malt. For a malt fan, this is a good beer. It creates a nice off- white head, amber in color, you smell nuts and get a fruit aftertaste. Basically an excellent wheat beer with a little more flavor.

Excellent beer. Pours a dark hazy brown color with a good head. Im in the mood for one right now. Reasonably priced for all the flavor you are gtting.
