Commercial Description:
Our Ayinger Ur-Weisse is an old-fashioned wheat with some fine roasted malt to give it more color and flavor than golden hefe- weisse. It has an immense crown of lovely foam held proudly above a robe of translucent amber. On the palate, malt and yeast predominate, with a delicious balance of fruit and bread-like yeast. The taste is complex, with suggestions of soft fruit, apple, and, in the finish, perhaps, even cloves.

A dark and solid wheat dunkel from Ayinger. I’d call this beer middle-of-the-pack for a German dark wheat. I found the entire Ayinger line-up at a beer store in Brooklyn and am a very happy man.

500. Pours a very hazy dark brown with a towering, almost out of control off-white head. Takes a while to pour. Nutty, husky, brown bread nose. Creamy medium body with soft woolly carb. Sweet brown bread mid-palate, with caramel and soft roasty notes. Delicious and easy drinking.

Bottle. Cloudy, ruddy brown with a dense, thick offwhite head. Good rich, spicy banana aroma and flavours. Hints of apples as well. A very solid and complex dunkelweizen.

Yeasty, spicy nose. Seems a bit watery at first, but malt thickens in the mouth nicely. Bitter and Sweet struggle amongst one another nicely. Loved the gentle fruit aromas and flavors.

Hazy orange-brown with a massive pillowing white head that required 4 pauses during the pour into my big weiss glass. Big aromas of bananas and wheat. Soft mouthfeel, flavours of banana, vanilla, toffee, wheat, and sweet spices. The finish is almost tart. This was delicious!

This is just how I expect a German wheat to taste. This is definitely not one to disappoint on the palate. Taste is crisp and clean with a lingering sour bite on the tongue. Just the right flavor of roasted malts with a bit of tangy nuttiness, fresh bread aroma and a solid malt backbone make this very complete.

Cloudy Orangey brown, with a sloppy, thin head. Spicy, bready, toasty aroma, perhaps with a hint of sourdough. Flavor is surprisingly fruity - raisin & prunes, mostly - with a solid pumpernickel and peppery finish.

It strikes you that this is going to be a Bock, with its rich golden color and frothy cream-colored head. But by the nose it has you thinking hefeweizen, with some clove and citrus, though plenty of malt and dry hops as well, with a bready yeasty quality--not always my favorite, in truth. But for flavor and mouthfeel, there is something very rewarding here. With a rich, light corn syrup-like texture, the beer clings to your mouth to impart a front flavor of caramel, bread, Eastern European snacks, and pretzels, with longer notes of citrus, clove, anise, apple, and banana. Nice blend of things. There is something slightly too much "German" for my taste--perhaps too dry at times--but this is still perfectly respectable.
