Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Bottle, in Finland. Orange with large white head, good lacings, mostly lasting, unfiltered. Aroma very malty (fruit, bread) and moderate yeasty. Flavor moderate sweet and light acidic. Light to medium body, watery/oily, lively carbonated.

500 ml bottle. Hazy murky orange with a nice head that fizzled out quickly. Aromas of ripe banana and some sweet bread. Flavors fell off a bit. Still some banana, but the bitterness came over what I expected to be sweet. Some Alcohol flavor which suprised me since it’s not that strong. Still not bad.

It pours a cloudy golden colour, with a very large heat that quickly dissapates. the aroma is sweet with bananna, pear and apples. One of the sweeter dunkels ive had, it does look like the water from a river not too far from where I live. it has a very full mouthfeel.

Very foamy and with bronze body. Lovely pungence of yeast with notes of spring and banana in the nose. Enjoyable spiciness dominates, cleaned up by the yeasty green banana finish. Authentic and what one would desire of a German wheat.

Bottle. Deep copper in color with the usual cloudiness of a wheat beer. Aroma is fruity (specially banana). Flavor is fresh with the same bananas coming through and finishes with a slight wheat taste at the back of the throat.

Bottle. Pours cloudy brownish copper with big off-white head. The aroma is full of soft fruity esters, peach, tangerine, banana; there is also some muffin, faint alcohol, and some spice. The flavor is bran muffins with some lemon and peach and general acidic bite. Then some hints of clove, faint nuts, and some allspice. The finish has an acidic kick with yeast and allspice and a soft, confectionary aftertaste. Pretty good stuff.

Big hiss as the cap comes off, mostly hazy orange-to-brown with some yeasties and little beads that form a succinct icy layer for the head. Big cloves waft on first whiff, followed by chocolate powdered bananas, sweet whole kernel corn, pepper and nutmeg. Spicing is hot with the aroma. Flavor makes good on the aroma predictors. Smooth banana crème and caramel chews provide the first layer. Cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and cloves spice up the next. Slight hint of brown sugared rum raisins and golden delicious apples. Sweet and graceful on the palate, departing with much of the same flavoring profile as it rode in on. I feared the effervescence when the cap hissed so powerfully, but each sip was met with a well-toned body. Finish is akin to ginger snap cookies. Pretty damn good.

Poured a fairly light body despite the fairly dark color. The head was nice, just about perfect in my opinion. Smelled like a typical weisse beer with hints of fruit. Tasted very similar. Initially I thought it was basic, but by the end of the bottle I was loving this one. There’s a lot here, and it’s really smooth and sweet.
