Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

Dirty looks, big head which turns quickly to a long lasting small head. Huge banana smell and taste. Tasty and very full. Pretty good altho a bit too sweet for my taste.

A big bottle of this answered my craving for some Wheat beer. This brew pours a hazy medium golden. Floaties. The colossal rocky bone colored head is fully lasting with fair lacing. The nose is very fruity: banana, bubble-gum, grape, apple, etc. Some spices like ginger aroma also present along with caramel, cereal, and flowers. Finishes like it starts very sweet, kinda acidic, and somewhat bitter. Overall very rich, sweet and fruity. The medium creamy/dry body has lively carbonation with an alcoholic feel to the finish. Ahhh!!

Bottle. Light notes of cereal, flowers, soap and damp basement with a hint of clove and a strong sour milk smell. Head is fizzy white, mostly lasting and has fair lacing, color is murky brown. Flavor starts moderately acidic and lightly bitter, then finishes lightly acidic and sour. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. The sour milk smell was hard to get over, maybe it had something to do with all the other hoppy beers I had that day. I’ll re-rate it by itself next chance I get.

Pours a lovely hazy amber with an excellent long-lasting head & nice lacing. Aroma is lovely - graham cracker, banana, typical wit but a tad sweeter and richer, notes of alcohol too. Tastes great - gala apple, light spiciness, creamy caramel, even a hint of mandarin orange. Body is creamy and delicious, if a tad under-carbonated. Overall, this is another dangerously drinkable beer. Only downside is the slightly underwhelming aftertaste.

Pours a cloudy, straw colored body with a white, rimming head. Smells of banana, yeast, and malt. Flavor is banana, yeast, zest, and barnyard. Finish is decent but fades a bit quickly.

I have to admit to not being a big fan of the style, but I actually found this one pretty interesting. Looks great in the glass and has a little less of the sweet flavor that I generally find off-putting in the style.

This one pours an ambery orange color with fairly active carbonation and a thin but continual frothy head that just wont go away! The aroma is yeasty and bready with a hint of mango, cloves and perhaps other fruits..mainly dark. The taste is predominated by a yeasty front...heavily yeasty for a german wheat to the point that i was surprised! It's followed up by a nectar like fruity/mango finish with a slight bitter floral dry ending. The carbonation level is very active here as is evidenced by that continual head. Some apple and pear acetic qualities in the aftertaste. Very floral and mango-like for my tastes. A nice beer and a good drink, but held back by those floral mango flavors.

Pours light cloudy brown color. Big velvety head. Banana and spices in the aroma. Mild hops in the taste. Banana and a panoply of other fruit flavors. Lots of spiciness. Velvety mouthfeel.
