LtJudge (431), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA Dec 30, 2008 Pours a cloudy dark amber color with a off white head. Gigantic banana and bubblegum aromas.Flavors match the aromas with the exception of the roasted malts that peek through. Not bad at all! Tmoney99 (4655), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Dec 16, 2008 Poured cloudy brown color with an average frothy off-white head that was lasting and produced good lacing. Moderate toasted caramel malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture and soft carbonation. Moderate malty sweet flavor with with a moderate sweet finish of average duration. SSSteve (2045), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Dec 10, 2008 very cloudy brown with great slow moving fine bubbled lace under a large creamy tan/brown head. banana aroma with hints of caramel. flavors of banana and a bit of caramel but not anything to get excited about. no real yeast character, barely any dunkel character, and no spices really kill any chance of this getting a good flavor rating. palate is light, watery, and almost flat. a disappointment for such a great looking beer. troyc (1173), Lubbock, Texas, USA Dec 3, 2008 [Bottle] Pours a hazy dark amber color with a lot of beige colored head. Banana, clove and dry cocoa in the aroma. Better wheat malt characteristics in the flavor. Some light nutmeg and Bavarian yeast notes as well. Good palate and mouthfeel. Exceeded my expectations by a lot... I wish I picked more up. Headbanger (1574), Aurora, Illinois, USA Nov 30, 2008 12oz bottle(Trader Joe’s-Naperville)-Pours a murky hazy brown with a nice off white head that covers the beer nicely. Aroma of caramel, banana, cloves, and wheat. Taste of banana, clove, spices, and caramel. This light bodies brew is rather tasty and balanced. Could drink these all night. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Nov 19, 2008 Sampled on 11/11/08. This dunkelweizen pours a slightly hazy amber brown color from a 12oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel, bready, cookie and sweet, with a touch of banana and clove. A medium to light bodied dunkel. The malts are bready and sweet. The hops are earthy. Decent carbonation. Nice balance. Touch of banana and clove flavors at the finish. A decent dunkel, definitely drinkable, but deficient in depth and density. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet. Strykzone (1458), Wood River, Illinois, USA Nov 15, 2008 A nice orange tan head makes a lot of noise and stays around a good while. Medium brown cloudy. Faint yeast, clove, spice,and caramel aroma. Flavor is very earthy. Light cloves and spice. Thin watery finish. dkachur (2316), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Nov 15, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Short Pump/Glen Allen,
Virginia. Pours a murky reddish brown color with a medium creamy
head, low retention and poor lacing. Big wehat and banana aromas
hit you as soon as the cap comes off. Also notes of clove and
stone fruits. Taste is wheat, banana, clove and stone fruits, much
like the aroma. Active carbonation, smooth and full bodied. Pretty
nice beer for $6 a six pack.
