| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 4, 2005 ours a clear deep copper with a huge, dense, creamy ivory head. Lots of lace. Smell is fruity and peppery. Sweet banana and clove. Hints of vanilla.
Taste is grainy and spicy. Pepper and clove evident. Lightly sour malt. Lightly bitter hops in the finish. A sour and bitter aftertaste. Lightly sticky in the mouth. Not one to go down smooth but a good drinker and tasty. My first roggenbier.

I have been looking for a source in the U.S. ever since. I find it a most satisfying brew! Dickinsonbeer (3517), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 30, 2005 At first pour it was a bright orange and very slight haze with a huge beige head. Then swirled bottle and poured the rest and it looked extremely cloudy with small and large yeast particles. Aroma is rediculously fruity, yeasty, sweet and malty. Freaking awesome- better aroma than any other hefeweizen. Lots of banana and apple balancing nicely with eachother. Flavor is sweet and malty with some lemon and clove. Also some fruitiness and yeast. great mouthfeel and balanced finish. Slightly tart in the end. I love burgerbrau. bu11zeye (5675), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 8, 2005 (Bottle) Pours a thick, clumpy, murky brown body with no head. Aroma of mustiness and sour. Flavor of malty with some lemon. thegreenrooster (1848), St.louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 8, 2005 Pour is a maple syurp looking mess. Lost of floaties and a huge white head follow. Aroma is a little hoppy and zesty. Flavor is roasty and you do get a bit of the rye used but overall pretty bland. Kinda a wierd brew but not offensive to the palate.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 5, 2005 Bottle. Looks like backed up sewage. Floaties the size of green peas. Viscosity of a milk shake. Taste-metallic, dry apple, dry spice. Overall very bland. Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Pour is brown apple cider with the most amount of clumps that I have ever seen...taste is thick and sweet (syrupy)...very yeasty flavor... Nuffield (2747), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 3, 2005 A beer that provoked a healthy discussion about whether the word "interesting" is damning praise. Lots of chunks on a nut brown beer, very hazy--and too chunky if you get a bad pour. Huge, zinging palate, with wheat on the front, wheat on the back, and lots of interest all the way through. Rye, fruits, spices, it’s all there...interesting...in a good way, but still not great.
