beerbuzzmontreal (2769), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 30, 2007 Clear copper pour with a thin white head. Mild aroma of bananas and cloves. Interesting flavor of bananas and cloves. The body is medium with a creamy texture and lively carbonation. Very interesting for the style, a solid achievement. MartinT (4458), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jan 17, 2007 <i>Any first impressions?</i><br />
-A transparent orange/bronze surprises; after talking to the brewer, I know why. This is a dunkelweizen! Rather rare that a kristallweizen is based on a dunkelweizen...<br />
-Clovey phenols undermine the caramel sweetness.<br />
-Smooth cereals move amidst a mild weizen character.<br />
-Body is well-fed, surprisingly so for the style.<br />
<br />
<i>What if you dig deeper?</i><br />
-The dry finish isn’t as spicy as it could be.<br />
-Bananas do show up amidst the caramel; this is pretty sweet overall.<br />
-A filtered dunkelweizen...why not! A very quenching and well-brewed one too.<br />
