Pours a dark amber-brown color with a medium head. It has a smell of spices with malt, and tastes similarly. I personally don’t like it as much as the edel-weisse but it is a quality dunkelweizen

Aug 3, 2008 ...bottle from Cloudwine. On the nose, hints of carmalized sugar, cloves and roasted malts, with some fruity apple. The color was darker than the typical hef, a cloudy amber. Lively tight carbonation, with an off-whitish head that diminished rather quickly with not much lacing. Mouthfeel was full bodied, with great clove notes, slightly roasted malts, yeast and a dry, slightly sweet finish witha slight hint of alcohol. Overall, a great hef, and I’m glad I tried it, I will have it again.

Aug 2, 2008 Pours somewhat darker than a typical hefeweizen. The beer has a good body and a banana-yeast flavor. Not as biting as some Hefeweizens.

Aug 1, 2008 Hazy deep amber beer with no head. Aroma is spicy, banana, and wheat. Aroma carries over into the flavor, with an added bit of bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth and fizzy. Finish is clean, slightly sweet, with a touch of clove.

Aug 1, 2008 A great- swillable eazy to sink Hef. Shitloads of texture. Again with the banana customs. Cloves and a drunken yeast strain-bitterness is wheaty and dry. Legit .

Bottle brown, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours mahogany - amber body colour, hazy to cloudy in texture with visible yeasty sediments floating in the body texture, body colour is amazing for a plain Hefeweizen, it looks more like a Dunkel Weizen and the same with head, it is white but initially medium and quite quickly decreasing to very small what is again typical of German Dunkelweizen, at least according to my own personal experience. There is no head lacing and head is frothy in its structure. Carbonation of the body is very lively what creates a fantastic effects.
Aroma: Typical of German Hefeweizen, banana, clove, yeasts, all strenghtened by the lively carbonation, very well balanced aroma, not as sweet and alcoholic as the previously tasted ’Wieninger hefeweissbier’. There is additional hint of slightly toasted malts, burned sugar (caramelly like) and refreshing, gentle fruity aroma, apple like.
Flavour: Very well balanced and wheat flavour, for me much better from those Weizens I’ve tasted so far apart from ’Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier’, very complex and compound taste on the other hand. Banana, clove, a hint of blackberry or bramble, yeasts not overwhelming the whole taste but on the other hand no impression of being wattery. Some gentle notes of toasted malted barley and wheat grains, mature, pronounced, perfectly balanced, a real mastercraft. Slightly spicy and positive alcoholic warmth on palate. Finish duration is long.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is rather creamy with a mineral and tangy accents, carbonation on palate is rather soft, finish feel is mineral, salty, slightly accidic, creamy with accompaining floral hoppy nose, gently alcoholic in the end. Really a mastercraft.
