| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 26, 2009 A decent enough beer however it is to sweet and light in color for the style. Pours a slightly hazy sweet tea color with a standard beer head, not a weizen head. Aroma is mainly yeast with some sweet malts and noticeable cloves and banana esters. To me this is to sweet, not that I want some hybrid hop bomb, but something with more balance and wheat.

| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Jan 4, 2010 This is the first "Dunkelweizen" I have had so I am not sure how the beer should or normally does taste, but this isn’t the best Sam I have had. I would agree with most of what the others said about how it pours and looks. I don’t get any nose and little mouth feel. It does have a good dose of CO2 but only a little of the malt I was expecting it to have.
But, again, I don’t know this type of beer so don’t take my rating, try it for yourself. psuCE03 (123), York, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Brown orange opaque color with limited head but plenty of carbonation. Malty flavor with hints of carmel (and maybe clove?). Medium bodied but a little thin, overall very enjoyable. Nimrod979 (25), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Pours a dark amber. Almost brown. Iced Tea is a good description of color. Average white head. Aroma is banana, nutmeg, raisin. The taste is what gets me, I didn’t think i would like this beer but it turned out to be surprisingly good. It has a slight sweetness and has some complexity despite it’s rather light flavor. Light body, soft carbonation and a short finish. Decent surprise from this beer. Nothing over the top but very drinkable. wmubronco1992 (192), Coldwater, Michigan, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Bottle - Pours a nice cloudy brown. Big frothy off white head. Aroma of bananas and cloves. Great presentation, but the weak flavor lets it down. Flavor is somewhat sweet with a little banana, but overall just too watery to be anything more then average. Had higher hopes for this brew. Will try again. rustychiles (1071), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Bottle. Poured a medium brown in color with a small head that diminished rapidly with virtually no lacing. The aroma was that of cloves and raisins with the scent of grainy malts and an earthy yeast odor. It tasted a little acidic and sweet with a mild bitter aftertaste that only lasted a little while. Mouthfeel was smooth, dry and medium bodied. Overall a tasty but average brew.
