Natty Greenes Slam Dunkelweizen

Brewed by Natty Greenes Pub & Brewing Company
Style: Dunkelweizen
Greensboro, North Carolina USA

Pours a clouded deep mahogany orange with a pock-marked light tan head. Laces after 1/3 of the glass is consumed in a thin droopy curtain. Fruity aromatics of banana, yeast, and some spice. Has a dry powdery air to it as I inhale. Pleasing. Ripe banana overtones in the flavor with a fair amount of yeastiness. Light brown sugar sweetnesss. That nondescript spice flair shows here also, giving my mind a workout to discern it. More pints needed to be ordered to pinpoint it, and yet I was still at a loss. Solid dunkel mouthfeel. Just enough effervescence. So very drinkable. The first pint was drained easily and from there on out I had to remind myself to slow down.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours copper-orange-brown with well-formed beige head. The aroma is very clovey with hints of caramel and citrus. The flavor is caramel and clove at first, then some mild fruity esters, especially banana and pineapple. Dark wheat flavors hit in the finish and leave an earthy and spicy aftertaste. Mild acidic tartness in the finish. Respectable dunkel.

Copper pour with creamy off white head and lace. Caramel malt aroma. Semi sweet caramel with a nice light fresh finishing bitter. Just a bit thin and a tad foamy. Very solid medium bodied beer. A bit of tartness as well.
