Deep clear brown color with a small off-white head. Nutty malt aroma. The flavor is lightly sweet, but there’s a chalky finish that combined with a body that is a bit thin, holds this one back compared to the other offerings they brew.

Properly cloudy with a tall dense white head. The nose is vibrantly full of clove at first then smooth banana. Just the right amount of malt sweetness before a tasty wheat tang in the finish. Full bodied and filling. One of the better Hefes I’ve had recently.

Clear, light amber body, firm white head. Malty aroma with a clean Saaz hop aroma. Well balanced, easy drinking. Good use of hops and malt. Crisp and clean. Not over the top, but good hop presence for the style and sufficiently malty.

A nice offering and my first beer from the Newport Hofbrauhaus. Poured cloudy orange-brown with a nice off-white head. Aroma and flavor were rather one-dimensional with the classic banana/clove hefeweizen yeast combination. Although this wasn't the most complex beer, I found it very drinkable and smooth.

This is an interesting seasonal from Hofbrauhaus. Cloudy orange color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is a little fruity and a little wheaty. I am not that familiar with the DunkelWeizen style but the flavor was a mixture of malt, cider, banana and caramel. Smooth and mostly drinkable but lopsided. I would go back to the Dunkel next time.

Pours a hazy dark yellow with a medium white head. Quick lacing. The aroma is very wheaty and a little floral. Slick body with a wheat flavor along with a little citrus. Finish is clean and wheaty as well. Average.

Dark brownish-orange with a medium off-white head. Thin lacing. Aroma of malt and caramel is pretty good. Sweet malt flavor throughout. The finish is lightly sweet and roasty and is almost satisfying. This is not what I would think is the best example of a Dunkel but it is a drinkable beer.

This is the flagship beer for Kentucky's Hofbrauhaus. As such it is geared toward the crowds who file in to the biergarten after watching a movie or going to Gameworks. This beer is not going to take any chances. Golden color and effervescent with a medium white head. Light hops and malt aroma. Fizzy and light-bodied, with not much in the way of flavor. It is easy to drink and would do on a hot day in the garten.

Light gold and bubbly with a medium white head. Not much in the way of aroma of any kind. Very light and crisp but as with the aroma there is not a lot of flavor to challenge someone. A good introductory beer to the masses who go to Hofbrauhaus and can't find their security blanket beers.
