An unclear brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with ligth notes of caramel, fruit, cowberries, and strawberries - quite weird for a Dunkles Weizen. The flavor is much more in accordance with the style with notes of wheat, caramel and lots of banana.

(bottle, from pivnizub – thanks !) Clear, dark and reddish amber colour with a short and not very persistent foamy off-white head. Aromatic sweet aroma of dark and toasted malt with a distinctive earthiness, notes of chocolate and a whiff of herbal hops. Sweetbitter flavour, medium to light body, smooth carbonation. Toast-malty taste with caramel, light fruity and almost floral notes; dry-ish, malty and spicy bitter finish with dark chocolate in the aftertaste.

(bottle, a “Mitbringsel” from pivnizub – thanks !) Clear, deep golden colour with short creamy, slightly off-white head. Dry-ish malty and woody, herbal hoppy aroma. Bittersweet flavour, medium body, soft carbonation, smooth mouthfeel. Well balanced slightly toasty, honeyish maltiness and an aromatic woody hoppy note; resinous dry and bitter herbal hoppy finish. Unusual dry and quite bitter Festbier. Very good.

Pours a cloudy, light brown into an english pint. Micro off-white head with excellent staying power that lasts throughout. Soft and slightly creamy with up-front bread malt with a medium, dry hop finish. Would make a great session beer.

Smallish white head. Hazy yellow body. Milky wheat aroma with citrusy notes. Milky citric taste with wheat and yeast notes. Hoppiness throughout. Milky bitter aftertaste. A decent weizen, but could be more assertive. (0.5l bottle.)

(bottle, from pivnizub) Clear, pale golden colour with a short but persistent foamy white medium head. Sweet grainy malt aroma with floral and herbal hops. Light-sweet flavour, light to medium body, moderate carbonation. Well-rounded grainy and hoppy taste; dry-ish, soft malty and hop bitter finish. Flavourful and balanced Helles.

Medium white head. Yellow body. Earthy, meaty aroma with grassy hops. Bitter malty taste of grassy, pea-like hops. Aftertaste is bitter hops with a touch of citrus and metal. Very nice. It’s really the hops that do it. (0.5l bottle.)

This is completely different from the New Glarus zwickels I have had. Those were light and yellow, but this is cloudy and brown. There is a lighter malt aroma that includes a hint of fermenting fruit and wet dog. The flavor is straightforward with malt and yeast; with the yeast being something I expected after the New Glarus. A hint of sourness but very bitter in an English way, much like a light bitter or mild in a lager style. The bitterness is mostly in the aftertaste.
