Julius Echter Hefe-Weissbier Dunkel

Brewed by Würzburger Hofbräu (Schörghuber)
Style: Dunkelweizen
Würzburg, Unterfranken/Bayern, Germany

Poured from the bottle to a brownish-red with good carbonation, and a thick off-white head that stayed atop the beer throughout the entire drink, and reduced to excellent lacing up and down the glass. A mild aroma of wheat bread, and at first some clove spice, which faded by mid-glass. Flavor was more of the tasty, bready wheat. My only complaint with this beer was the very thin body, which led to a watery palte. Beside thatr, this was a darn good beer.

Outstanding beer! This was a great dunkelweizen with a nice spicy nose and flavor. This is definitely one to try!

Huge tan head with a hazy honey color. Minimal aroma. Tastes a bit of banannas. Weak sauce, and hardly worth the $3 I paid for 16 oz

Reddish brown with a huge tan head, fades slowly. Very hazy. Aroma is clove, plums. Tart, a little sour. Medium body. Not in love with it.

Cloudy brown/amber topped by a large, creamy, tan head. Nose of toasty wheat, banana, clove, banana nut bread, yeast, and tobacco. Flavor adds a generic spice and some earth. Bubbly medium body. Very nice.

Pours brown into a weizen glass. Caramel notes. Off-white fluffy micro head leaves lacing as it very gradually recedes. Medium bodied. Caramel and some clove. Dry finish. Well made, but boring.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours a murky orange with a beige head. Aroma of caramel malts, fruit, and citrus. Flavor is sweet, bananas, and caramel. Good beer.
