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.

Very big foamy head, copper coloration. Apple and white wine in the aroma and taste. Best Hefe I have had.

An almost-tan head took a lifetime to settle over a dense, murky, brownish/copper-wheat body. Yeast particulate is diverse, from the silt that forms the haze to plastery chunks at the bottom, with little sea-monkeys bobbing about at mid-level. As far as the aroma, ’smoked banana’ smells much better than you’d imagine. Add to that roasted corn husks, clove, licorice and a touch of crawlspace (musty, earthen, moldiness). Flavor captures the hefeweizen essence of the aromas and sets it upon a substantially malted body... which gives a nice, hearty impression of a chocolate-covered banana. Thick, full-bodied and flavorful, with a creaminess in the mouth, it’s with beers like this that I can justify why ’Dunkelweizen’ is currently my favorite style.

Clear amber body, big frothy off-white head, It collapses in very neat looking pockets that give it a very unique look. Huge ripe banana aroma. The flavor is straight up banana and wheat. The palate is bigger than its lighther cousins. A nice but by no means great beer.

Pours a hazy amber, has some wonderful carbonation. The head is profuse, creamy white, and has a very velvety texture. The aroma was sweet, had some coriander, nutmeg, and lemongrass. The flavor tasted sour, citric, alcohol and a little bite. The palate was crisp with a slight bite and the finish was sharp and warm.

Bottle sampled. Pours a cloudy amber color with a off-white head. Aroma of banana, bread, yeast, and some spice. Flavor of roasted malts, banana, clove, and a touch of lemon with a creamy finish.

Bottle. Pour orange/brown with a two finger thick off-white head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, wheat, caramel. Flavor is sweet, wheat, bananas, spices, cirus. Good bosy, good brew.

Light amber (this is the dunkel weizen??) with a huge frothy head. Nose is estery but also sweeter in malts and some hints of smoked malts. Medium bodied, banana flavors with tea-leaf hints and long lasting sweet aftertaste.

Pale white-ish appearance, excellent carbonation and head formation. Malty, yeasty, woody aroma with decent amount of peppery spice. Sweet, soft palate, cloves, apples, light touch of banana bread and some bitterness in the finish.
