Pours a hazy brown color. Head is big, off-white and frothy. It shows good retention and leaves a gorgeous lacing. Aroma is very nice, fruity/yeasty with strong notes of banana and vanilla. Other touches of lactose, chirimoya and some caramel come to my mind. Flavor is more subtle, a little muted. I feel the wheaty character which makes this very fresh. It’s a sweet beer with banana hints and a little watery finish. Pretty good and enjoyable. Creamy ultra-smooth texture, medium body. Lightly carbonated. Finish is smooth as hell too. Nice fruity long aftertaste. Lots of subtleties and a little more complex than the other German Weizens I’ve tasted so far. Nice.

Sep 12, 2008 Dark yellow-brown colored with huge yellow head. Chocolaty and grainy aroma with some licorice also, ncie one, though not too traditional with only slight banana. Thin to medium bodied, crispy palated. Flavor is thinner with mild chocolate and some sourness, aftertaste dries strongly with some yeast. Well interesting aroma, not too special flavor.

Sep 5, 2008 Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are banana, yeast and malt. More dark in color than in taste.

does not count  Sep 4, 2008 I’m a big fan of the Hofer, and was delighted in finding this version of Frankfurt’s finest.
It is not as dark as an average Dunkle, and seemed a little light in the first taste. There is defiantly a bit of a banana taste to it but it is too thin. If I was blindfolded I would not think it was a dunkle, there is no malt aroma. It is too refreshing, but overall disappointed, and the taste is average.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle Leipzig department store. Bland thin and dull, a bit fruity. Does have some spice on the top (cardamom) - seems too dry overall. But refreshing. Thin hoppy aroma. Mildly sweet.
