Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

This beer rocks. Read the commercial description; it describes this beer to a tee.

Bottle. Cloudy yellowish in color with a nice fluffy white head. Banana and clove. Malty. Spicey. Even carbonation. Enjoyable.

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.

Head tastes of apples and pears. Its wheaty, light and lofty, but also a little heavy. Not quite as good as the great czech dunkels, but certainly nice. The finish is rather sticky, like a minty belgian ale perhaps.

A wheat beer drinkers must try. Bountiful head, aroma of fruit, not citrus, and cloves. Slightly darker than most wheat beers. Taste slightly of apple dumplings, fruity doughy feel. Excellent.

500 ml bottle. Deep orange-brown beer, very cloudy with a thick white but fast-fading head. Aroma is initially fruity, with sweet plummy/cherry maltiness, special B notes overlaying a sweet clove/nutmeg spiciness. Initially comes across as a belgian dark. Very toasty. As the temperature comes up, the normal weizen banana notes come forward along with a heavily toasted malt aroma. Very wheaty. Orange/lemon citrus. This is like two beers in one, both of them delicious.

bottled: these are how wheat beers are suppose to taste! beutiful caramel hazy color with a nice cream colored head. dough and spice up into the nose. nice balance of malt sweet, bananas, cloves, bread. an excellent weisse. PROST!

Bottle from Peace St. Market, Raleigh, NC. Dark straw pour, with combined aromas and tastes of caramel malt, toffee, banana, cloves, and hops. More fruit as it finishes. Nicely done, and another winner from Ayinger.
