Hazy brown, small fine beige head, light chocolate aroma and flavor, only a hint of banana in the final sip after much warming, average at best, a big disapointment after the excellent hefe-weiss

Score: 4
-------- /> The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Light bronze colour. Slight haze. Slightly sweaty aroma. Sweet, plasticy character. Maybe a little candyish in the finish. Vaguely drinkable, but overly sweet even for a dunkelweisse and doesn’t have any particular dark malt character.

Big beige foamy head atop a clear dark brown body. Aroma is not especially strong, but is medium sweet, clove, some banana. Taste is moderately sweet, banana, clove, some caramel. Light lemon in the aftertaste. Watery, lightly carbonated, light body.

Botella. German rating # 400. Bit hazy amber-brown colour. Aroma of wheat and some banana with caramel and dark fruits. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has caramela and wheat with some dark fruits.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a big tan head. Weak caramel malty, light fruity aroma and taste. Medium body with a sweet finish.
