Ayinger Ur-Weisse

Brewed by Brauerei Aying
Style: Dunkelweizen
Aying, Germany

This is a great, original-style Bavarian wheat beer. The color is light brown, the aroma just what you expect in such a style. Flavor is rich, fruity and satisfying. The high carbonation and pleasant hopping level make it a refreshing drink. One of the best.

Color is a cloudy haze of brownish gold with a large loose head of puffed creamy foam that ever so slowly simmers to a light haze on top and has drippy lace in large stringy patches. The smell of this thing is very lively, wow, its all over the place, funky as hell, smokey banana and smoked salmon or bacon, dull lemon, musty horse blanket, soft rubber, and feet. Yep, its funky and pungent and I love it. I need this in a insense form so I can light one and let the whole place smell like this. People would wonder what the hell I'm I cookin' or smokin'. I'd be great. Taste is soft and mellow of banana and frothy malts, touch of lemon and clove, sweetness is light, citrus is flighty with a light but favorable carbonation with a mellow, nearly creamy medium body with a little touch of hop and dryness with clove hints in the finish. The yeast is showcased in this beer quite a bit, especailly in the smell, but with that aside its one fine easy drinkin' dunkel.

Another one of my favorites. Ayinger is professionally consistent with their beers. This beer is a dark wheat beer compared to their Brau Weisse. More head than most Hefe’s, excellent wheaty yeast smell and flavor with a hint of cloves at the finish. Add a lemon wedge and Watch it go!

Bottle: Wow reddish brown but not really, the color is so mystical to me, the off white cream head was just topping on this cake. The aroma of wheat and fruit is wonderful. The taste is roasted malt and fruit that bites at the taste buds. This has to be one of my favorite German beers. I cannot imagine why this is not closer to a 4 on the scale!

Light brown in color with a great foamy white head. Citrus and clove aroma. Hints of raosted malts offset by the excellent yeast. Easy drinking dunkel weiss.

Amazing rocky meringue-like head on this dark amber, hazy colored dunkelweizen. Extraordinarily aromatic too with traditional banana-clove, together with some soft caramel-toffee notes. Fresh bread & yeast is apparent also. Palate is smooth, creamy texture with sufficient carbonation, a soft malt component, and gently spiced in there as well.

500 ml bottle, poured into a german hefe glass. just a little darker than ayinger’s hefe, almost looks like apple cider with a nice white head if poured properly. a little more complex than the hefe, but that taste is not that different. a truly wonderful beer for late summer/early fall drinking. very drinkable.

Bottle. Pour is hazy brown / orange with a pillowy white head. Took quite some time for the head to settle. Aroma is malt, yeast and wheat. Some sweetness too, but smooth. Initial taste is a malt and wheat, balanced perfectly. Finish is the sweetness and a nice bitter. Extremely drinkable, reminds me why I love well made German beers.
