J.T. Whitneys Dunkel Weiss

On tap at the brewpub on 6/22/07: Pours a hazy copper brown with a thin ring of white head. Aroma of lightly toasted caramel malt and lemon citrus which may have been from the piece of lemon served in it. Body is fairly thin and lightly sweet but needs more thickness and yeastiness because it’s otherwise watery.

Sample @ Brewery. Sweet fruit and malt aroma. Murky red body with the lemon slice serving as head. Got more of a cherry flavor out of this one with a medium amount of bitterness. Different brew to say the least.

Toasted caramel and butterscotch aroma with some lemon because they served it with a slice in the glass. I ripped it out as soon as I saw it,...should have known to ask to not have it but I always forget. Super cloudy, dark amber-brown with a thin head. Sweet banana with a tiny touch of caramel malt flavor but then it changes to a sweet bubblegum mid-palate. Needs more dark malt flavors and less candy sweetness. Lively mouthfeel, medium-thin body.

Banana aroma. Cloudy, reddish brown. Attractive. Had a head initially, but as it sat sat waiting for me to get through the other beers in the sampler, it fully diminished. Mouthfeel is a little thin; the banana is clearly there. Not bad actually. Too tart, but otherwise pretty good. Almost there. Just a tweak or two and they’ll have themselves a winner.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured a ruddy reddish-brown with a short off-white head. Caramel and darker fruits grace the nose along with some wheat and citrus notes. Kinda sticky on the palate... somewhat smooth across the middle... nothing memorable. Wheaty caramel and med-dark fruits in the flavor.. with a little chocolate and grains representing. This was OK... but came across as very average.

Came with a thin, off white head sitting on top of an opaque molasses colored body. Scents of caramel, wheat, citrus (from the lemon wedge) and fruits presented themselves as I took in the aromas. The taste was a mixture of cherries, caramel, toffee, wheat, vanilla and molasses. It was well balanced with a subtle hoppiness coming out in later sips. Overall, this was solid and enjoyable. I would give it a try again if there was nothing new on tap.

Hazy brown color with a thin head. Vague alcohol aroma. Little bits of corriander and banana in the flavor. Not much malt. Eh, it’s not bad, but it’s lacking some significant flavor.
