DiabolikDUB (143), Portland, Oregon, USA May 12, 2009 Poured from bottle into Pint glass.
Pours a murky amber with a one-inch light off-white head.
The Aroma is light banana and clove.
There are a lot of similar flavors in the taste with banana and clove.
The mouthfeel is very light and bubbly and a bit dry in the finish which is nice.
Overall its a nice dunkelweizen for the money. Wheats for the most part are just not my thing though so I probably wouldn’t purchase again. FunkyBrewster (437), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 12, 2009 Pours a very hazy and cloudy orange and brown with a lingering off white head. Aroma is very heavy banana and yeasty with a lot of clove, perhaps a bit too sweet and estery but still pleasant. Flavor starts with a mellow fruit character with a slightly lemon and overripe banana character. Just a hint of spice in the middle and finishing very sweet with a caramel malt character. Almost no bitterness. Medium body and an active tickling carbonation. Not the best dunkelweis but the style is so good and it was darn good with a sausage, baked bean and corn on the cob dinner
boFNjackson (1233), Portland, Oregon, USA May 9, 2009 Bottle... Poured cloudy maroonish brown with a beige head. Aroma of sweet yeasts and ester notes. Light, refreshing palate. Clove-like flavors with smooth malts and fruity notes. Very crisp, and refreshing, easy to drink on a hot day with a mild, bitter tangyness in the finish. HonkeyBra (1279), Lemont, Illinois, USA May 1, 2009 Pours a murky murky brown with an off white head. Banana and clove in the nose, maybe some bread, chocolate and a twinge of sulfur. Flavor is yeasty and estery, banana, spice, Finish kind of falls about into watery grain. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Apr 14, 2009 Bottle from Trader Joes - Short Pump on 04/14/2009. Murky brown body with a large frothy tan head. Sweet banana and clove aroma. Banana and clove flavor, some yeasty notes. Medium light body with moderate carbonation and a somewhat thin mouthfeel. durhambeer (1188), Durham, USA Mar 29, 2009 Bottle from Trader Joe’s. Cloudy orange-chestnut brown pour with not much head. Sweet caramel, some chocolate notes, but mostly banana and clove. Nothing to write home about, but not bad, either. One of the better $1 beers one can get at Trader Joes. kuphish (150), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Mar 22, 2009 Bottle. Poured a large, pillowy, off-white head. Hazy, amber body with abundant yeast clouds. Nice aroma. Caramel, banana and clove. Tasted of caramel malt, some biscuit, and a little prune. Nice, balanced esthers and phenols from the yeast - banana, clove as well as some cinnamon and nutmeg. Palate was creamy with soft carbonation. Unfortunately sour and tart finish. Overall a nice Dunkelweizen. Could be better if the sourness was eliminated and the tartness was reduced. SpringsLicker (2041), Tennessee, USA Mar 14, 2009 Pours as it should. Murky medium brown with a tall, long lasting off-white head.
Nice banana nose.
Sweet malt start with a big wheat bite at the end.
A smooth easy drinking Dunkelweizen.
