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- A cloudy copper brew pours out of this bottle with an amazing white pillowy head. From the looks of it, this beer is vigorously carbonated. S- Smells of sweet bread, reminecent of walking by a good bakery. I get hints of fruit: orange, slight banana. T- Tastes slightly sweet but not nearly as much as the nose lets on. Apricot and a minute taste of banana bread are present. M- Very light and refreshing without being watery. Well carbonated. D- This beer is extremely drinkable because it is so delicious and light. I could easily have a few on a summer day.

Bottle. Deep banana and wheat aroma. Murky orange with handsome white head. Flavor is strong for a weisse this light-colored and has banana, berry and some yeast. This has a wonderfully surprising spicy hoppy finish. Well-carbonated and soft. Awesome beer from an awesome brewery.

.5l bottle, builds a decent head, aroma is rich ripe banana, mild spiciness. Taste is again banana, wheat cracker, sweet maltiness, some drying hop bitterness, slight bit of carnival candy. Super delicious beer, I really like their yeast, best yeast characteristics of all the german weizens IMHO. They used to close their bottles with a cap printed with a bucholic country picnic scene, I liked those, it added to the impression of this beer’s origin- luckily what’s inside hasn’t changed at all. Top shelf brew.

Great beer. Gigantic creamy off-white head. Cloudy/hazy medium amber colored body. Aroma of hay and banana mixed with sweet biscuit. Medium bodied with a creamy mouth feel. Average duration with moderately sweet finish. Extremely well rounded and balanced.

Oh yes, this is what I look in for when it comes to wheat beer. Big banana and wheat aroma and a balanced sweetness in the taste. While this is not too complex I love the creaminess a lot. This must be the best companion to strawberries I have ever had.

Nice. A bold wheaty brew that is also quite refreshing. A great brewery that really knows how to do its wheat beers.

60% barley 40% wheat. I don’t drink alot of wheat beers, so I’m not familiar with anything like this. The well-caramelized barley malt dominates up front with an almost Belgian earthy, bready aroma. Strong toffee, caramel, butterscotch flavors though the wheat makes its presence in a clean, tart finish. A great beer for a warm day when your thirst wants a weiss but your mind says - give me something chewy.

Lots of banana and biscuits, some cloves, light citrus, a tiny bit of indecipherable background fruit. Not much else. A very good German wheat beer.
