Commercial Description:
Dunkelweizen translates from German to mean dark wheat. Gordon Biersch Dunkelweizen highlights the undertones of dark roasted malted wheat and the unique flavors produced by our special Hefeweizen yeast strain. Our Dunkelweizen adheres to all of the traditions of the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law of 1516) and is naturally carbonated.

Bottle. Hazy caramel beer with a nice light tan head. Banana, clove, caramel, and spice aroma. Wheat, caramel, banana, clove flavor. Medium-light body. Refreshing. Light citrus, caramel, yeast and wheat lingering.

Poured a dark, copper, amber color with large foamy beige head. Smells of yeast, malts, spice and some kind of fruit. Tasted of wheat, yeast, roasted malts and a creamy sweetness... surprisingly good and refreshing with a great aftertaste. What a pleasant brew!

Has a great aroma of bananas and bread (not to be confused with the ever tasty Banana Bread) and had a very bready taste. It is pretty darn refreshing.

Can’t really complain about this one too much, it was actually pretty tastey! Pours a muddy copper colour with a small tan head. lacing is basically nothing, but mouthfeel is nice, bubbly and lively very pleasent. Aroma is of cherries and raspberries, milk chocolate and spice. Taste is creamy, fruity and everything nice. Apples, cinnamon and jerky.

This dark amber beeer poured with a foamy beige head and a yeasty aroma. There is a strong taste of cloves over a decent roasted malt base. This is an interesting brew, but not entirely satisfying.

Hazy caramel/orange with a strong solid head that stayed unusually thick throughout and left thick streaks of lacing. Strong aromas of clove and banana and a hint of wheat. Initial pepper and sour flavors give way to a roasted malt sweetness. Rich creamy mouthfeel reflects the head that remained strong. My first attempt at the style, and this seems like a good one.
