Commercial Description:
Uncle Otto’s Weiss Beer. For a beer so refreshing, it’s a very complex, satisfying taste. A special yeast produces esters, compounds that replicate subtle flavors of fruits and spices. This fermentation provides the most critical component of the extremely distinctive flavor. So distinctive, in fact, that trying to describe it leaves one struggling for comparisons; some may find cloves, even banana!

pour a clouy yellow. Smells a wheaty aroma. Good wheat taste with a citrus finish. Slightly yeasty. Bannana and lemon dominate the fruity taste. Almost as good as a german wheat.

Golden pour, slightly cloudy with little head. Nose is yeasty and wheaty. Bannana flavor with some spices, maybe clove? Nice palate with a clean finish.

Hazy unfiltered with good lacing and not much head. Light wheat and alcohol aroma. Flavor has banana and clove esters with a bland wheat background, hops are detectable though. Good clean finish but not as full of flavors as most german wheats.

New batch for summer 2003:Golde beer with orange highlights and a definite hefe haze(poured mit hefe of course!); definite bubblegum and clove aroma from a proper German weissbier yeast, plus rose petal, tangerine and strawberry aromas. The small head dissipated quickly, but the flavor is very fresh and lively, whith just enough lactic acidity to make for a nice long wheat aftertaste. One of the best American brewed German style weiss beers.

Bottle. This accidentally sat on my fridge shelf for about 5 months, so I was expecting the worst but it was okay. Milky-golden pour. Tastes more like a hefe than a true "wheat beer", yeasty, standard banana-clove with maybe a bit more crispness than I expected. Decent stuff with a sweet finish that I liked a lot.

While McTarnahan's might be my favorite brewery when it comes to non-wheat beers, their failure to execute when brewing Weissbiers is uncharacteristic of their otherwise immensely high standards. Tastes more like an American Wheat due to its muted yeasty nature. Drinkable, though.

Citrusy, tangy wheat aroma. Yeast, bit of bubblegum. Small white head and some lacing. Beautiful cloudy pumpkin orange color. Bright. High carb and medium silky, watery body. Very tart, citrusy up front. Hits back of the tongue with an assault. Good wheat/yeast flavor. Sourness detracts. Sour weak after. Overall, has weak flavor, and tartness is a downer.
