Bull & Bush Patios Vat Dunkel Weiss

Tap at the brewpub - fairly light in color for a dunkelweiss, but nicely hazy - the flavor begins with a decent dose of wheaty tanginess, with a little tart orange peel character - this is followed by some overripe apple and tamarind sweetness - some clove phenols arrive as the beer dries out a bit for the finish - lingering tanginess and wheat - a decent beer, but it hovers somewhere between a dunkelweizen and hefe.

tap at brewery. golden pour with thin head. orange peal, wheat aroma. flavor much the same with light spice.

On tap @ Bull and Bush poured a hazy copper with a minimal lingering off white head. Aromas of wheat, orange and light spice. Palate was light to medium bodied and crisp. Flavors of wheat, yeast, orange and light spice with a smooth finish.

tap at the brewpub. i hate to quote other peoples ratings, but i saw aubreys while i was starting to catch up on my notes, and he hits it on the head "A lot of "weiss," but not much "dunkel."" very light hazey pour. orange & lemony yeast nose(damn you orange peel, stay out of my beer) light cocoa mixed with the earthy light banan. finish is tart apple and orange with a lingering cookie note.

Draught at brewery. Pours clear light brown with a small fizzy off-white head, mostly diminishing, spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, roasted, nutty), light hops (flowers, grass), average yeast (sweat, musty) with notes of smoke. Light bodied, thin texture, flat carbonation and a chalky finish. Short duration, light sweetness, acidity and bitterness.

Bread dough aromas. Light in color. Came with an orange slice which I promptly removed. Soft, mild carbonation made it smooth and creamy. Sweet and tart orange notes with a lemon tartness. Finished with a dry bitterness. Nicely balanced. Clean and fresh tasting. Bitterness built with time. Enjoyable, lingering flavors in the finish. A lot of "weiss," but not much "dunkel." Nevertheless, pretty good.
