Ramstein Classic

Brewed by High Point Brewing Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
Butler, New Jersey USA

Serve in Stein, Weizen

Amber in color with a large off-white head. Aroma of cider and oak. Flavor is of fruit and oak with a dry malt finish. Astringent.

on tap at the brewery, a cloudy dark brown with a creamy tan head, the smell of spices and chocolates come out with the sweetness of the wheat. taste was amazing, totally surprised me, a great blend of malts and some chocolates and a fruit flavor i couldnt nail down. a medium to full body with a nice blend of the flavors going down to a crisp, smooth finish with almost no bitterness. i kept going back to the bar for refills, and thought about taking home a keg of this...thats how easy to drink and enjoyable it was.

Pours out a nice cloudy brown color with a nice sized head. The aroma is rather sweet with little notes of wheat. The taste is complex and sweet with a nice balance, a very drinkable beer!

Cloudy brown, with a decent sized beige head. Really nice aroma, with notes of rye and pipe tobacco. Surprisingly light mouthfeel. Delicate woodsy, piney flavor up front. I was trying to figure out the main flavor component when The Bride said "Pumpernickel Bread. It taste like liquid Pumpernickel bread." Indeed. Very rich flavor without being heavy. Very Nice. Thanks to Lou18 for this one!

I’m not sure , hoping I just have a bad bottle, but I didn’t like this wheat beer at all. Virtually no head . Very thin with a sweetish taste.

First thanks to wohlfs for this one. Muddy brown body with a very small light tan head. The aroma is very interesting. Nutty, roasted wheat, light chocolate. I amnot getting any esthers, banana, or clove. The flavor is roasted wheat, again quite nutty, the chocolate is much more pronounced in the flavor then the aroma. Roasted malts are reallt quite dominant and there is no banana or other typical wheat flavors going on. The body is medium a tad watery with some light acidty after the swallow. Very drinkable. This one may have been a touch past its prime.

2004 bottle from Maibockaddict, thanks again! Finally I get to try a god-damned beer from High Point. I’ve had my eyes on the Winter Wheat ever since I started rating 3 years ago. I decided to start with the classic, and it definitely didnt disappoint. Fantastic pour, and it’s very encouraging to see plenty of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Caramel-brown-yellow body, with some deep orange and tan hues, quite muddy looking with a large light tan head. Huge malted wheat aroma, with spicy esters, lightly spicy tettnang hops and plenty of light coffee and roast. Flavor begins with light chocolate, licorice and light coffee. Peppery, natural carbonation seems a problem at first, but giving the beer time to breath eliminates this. Butterscotch (not diacetyl, but a good butterscotch flavor), caramel corn and wheat, with a light trace of hops on the finish. Medium body, slightly watery, yet it dosent hurt the flavor and makes it that much more drinkable. I think I drank this beer in under 2 minutes. A touch of astringency from the roast and wheat could be my only real complaints.

bottle from lmgraz1. Hazy chocolate brown pour with virtually no head. Looks like a glass of cola. Chocolate aroma, some roasted malt aroma, some grassiness too. According to the bottle, best if drinken by July, but they do not indicate what year. Acidic. Malty to start with a slight undertone of hop presence. Acid really takes over the middle, and the finish is a medly of roasted malt, chocolate and bitter hop. This is complex to finish, but the acidity in the beginning/middle is not to my liking.
