Jul 8, 2004 Hazy, copper body with a thick, tan head. Interesting spicy, wheat nose with cinnamon, clove, banana, a touch of both chocolate and banana. The yeast is present, but seems to be more sour than fruity. The body is exactly what I expected: thicker than the typical hefeweizen, but not too thick, and not sticky or harsh. The flavor is reminiscent of the aroma, but with subdued spice and more rounded sweetness. The wheaty, grainy malt comes through here more so than in the nose. The finish carries a unique sour element that keeps this from being too one-dimensional. A more rounded flavor set and a touch more fruitiness would make this world class.

Jul 7, 2004 At some point, I rated Franziskaner Dunkel Weiss and scored it absurdedly high. That rating stands until I try it again, but THIS beer was very, very nice. Thick banana in yeast, good color and head, hint of clove, touch of syrupy sweetness, wheaty tang, slightly sour finish, balanced. Drinkable. Good.

Jun 30, 2004 500 mL bottle: orange, autumn coloured body. Stiff, fluffy head that has good retention. Bready, buttered toffee, and spiced banana aroma. Full clove flavour wraps up sweet banana malts, lightly honey hops, and a subtle citrus tang into a tasty package. Long, sourish finish that is slightly acidic, but pleasant no less. Solid Dunkel.

Jun 28, 2004 Updated: Dec 10, 2008[bottle - Great European Beerfest 8, Sharp Edge Tavern - East Liberty, PA] Poured a medium amber color that was slightly hazy. Malty and wheaty aroma with a mix of citrus and other fruits. Good malt taste with a citrus hint and a chewy, biscuity finish. Very well balanced.

Jun 12, 2004 Cloudy red brownish with nice head and lacing. Great clove/banana nose. Kind of chalky finish. Not as much flavor as the nose suggests. Not a great beer but not bad.

Jun 4, 2004 Cloudy light brown pour with little to no head. Aroma is yeasty and clove. Flavor is similar to the hefe, with lots of clove and malty. Not as much dark malt flavor as the appearance suggests.
