| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2008 Aroma is spicy with scents of coriander, clove, banana and roasted malt. Color is a deep hazy gold with light carbonation and a thin head. Taste creamy and fruity. Starting with a medium body that leans a little on the light side, it goes down with a creamy feel. Finish come in with sweet roasted malt then some mellow Hefe like flavors (coriander and banana ). After taste is fruity with the banana lingering on. This is a great example of a Dunkelweizen, very Hefe like with nice roasted tones. GMCC2181 (855), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 1, 2008 500 mL bottle. Pours dark gold. Huge white billowy head, probably 3+ inches. Lots of big sediment, almost too much. Very cloudy. Smell is yeasty and a bit funky. Wow, esters slam into your tongue on tasting. Banana and bubblegum, getting sweeter and sweeter as they head to the back of the throat. Mouthfeel is light-medium. Very nice refreshing brew. This one has a little funk in the aftertaste but it hardly diminished the quality. EricE (454), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2008 500mL bottle purchased for $3.30 - I think it was from Wine Emporium in Boston. Freshness unknown. An interesting pour into a weisse glass. Started off light, getting much darker as the bottom of the bottle was poured in. Although I swished the end of the bottle lots to shake up the sediment, there were still numerous chunks in the glass... so I stirred it with a spoon! My first time ever doing that. The end product is a cloudy grey-gold. Medium aroma of a typical weisse - yeast, banana and bubblegum. Taste is solid. Quite yeasty, which gives it a bit more of a spicy character perhaps than some other weisses.
