Marin Doppel Weizen Wheat Ale

Pours a cloudy dark yellow hue. Nose is banana, fruits, and melanoidins. Flavor is doppel-like malts with a edge of hefe bananas and fruits, finishes sweet. Medium body and ample carbonation. An interesting hybrid of styles that actually works well, extra points for innovation.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a pale golden color with a small off-whit e head. Has a sweetish wheat malty aroma with some hints of citrus. Sweetish wheat malty spicy flavor. Has a sweetish wheat malty and fruity finish with some hints of citrus.

Pours hazy pale golden with a thin white head. The nose is sweet and slightly fruity. The flavor is not as sweet but goes more dry. Decent lasting finish.

bottle, light yellow gold, aroma of sweet wheat and white grapes,flavor is a mix of wheat and some IPA like hops, finish is mild

Draft at Marin. Clear gold, white head. Typical hefe aroma is a bit subdued. Same flavor, very clean but very mild. Medium body, balanced, easy drinking. Decent.

I, too, thought this was going to be a dunkelweizen. Poured cloudy orange-gold with a lot of brown sediment in the end. Strong off-white head. Aroma is musty wheat with some clove. No banana or bubblegum in the taste. Lots of wheat with... hops? In a hefe? All in all, this was a good beer, but not really what I had in mind for a German Hefe.

Somehow I was thinking this was a dunkle or weizenbock. Or perhaps I should say WISHING. Pretty much what it says it is, which isn’t bad, but none TOO attractive to me. An American wheat bee at roughly double strength - not bad, not alluring enough for someone that was looking for perhaps too much after sharing two other bombers.

Hazy, Golden straw colored.Poured nice fluffy, but rapidly diminishing head.Faint bananna,wheat and light cloviness in the nose.Crisp carbonation and tingly sweet mouthfeel with a citric after taste.Slightly metallic.Yet Refreshing.
