Very little aroma. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. No head. Earthy tones dominate the aroma. A little watery and light without much carbonation. I find this pretty enjoyable. Nice session brew. Friendly and easy. Fun and nifty.

Sweetish aroma but you can just barely detect it. Cloudy rootbeer brown in appearance. malty and slightly bitter. Has a rootbeer background that matches its look. Rather enjoyable with a unique flavor. Well mannered and gentle after the initial mild bitterness. Finish is easy to enjoy. Decent creamy carbonation. Overall not bad!

Nice black brown pour. Has a chocolate mousse head. Roasty aroma that is very attractive. A taste like somebody filtered this beer thru the old coal of a wood campfire. The taste and flavors are well controlled and enjoyable. Barely any carbonation.

Earthy hints on the aroma but you really have to look for it, it is not overwhelming. Slight red hue but mostly brown. Froth for a head. A rather mild malty taste. Very little hapless bitterness. Hardly any carbonation. A decent enjoyable flavor. Slight malt bitterness on the back of the throat that hangs for a while.

Mild weizen aroma and bouquet. Brown hazy appearance. First comes on slightly bitter then that morphs into a very pleasant and friendly companion. Enjoyable and easy going. IMHO a reall good beer. Just enough carbonation to hold your attention. Well mannered and delicious. Enjoyability improves during the session. Overall a just plain old good example of what beer should be as far as dunkleweizen goes.

Cheery pinkish color. Stripped of head. Questionable fruit aroma. No hint of what mirthful bliss lies within. Rapturous light tart cranberry taste, a simple delicious beer. Tart yet acceptable and cool. The flavors are curious and audacious. Decent mild tingly carbonation. Finish, what finish? Is it gone already? BLAST! Rivertowne has hit the nail on the head with this fruit beer. Get me my growler!

Smells like hoppy floral perfume. Look is mostly light brown with some red tinge. First taste coats your mouth with an IPA type palate. Certainly creates a fury in the mouth. Impressive hop bite and bitterness, will not quit. Lasting IPA style finish. I feel like I chewed up a handful of green grapefruit rinds. Quite IPA style bitter. If you like hopped up beers, ignore my numbers and go try this out. I just don’t care much for highly hopped brews and did not anticipate the hops in this brew.

Perfumy aroma, very attractive to the olfactory. Orange brown in color with no head. Darker than most APA. Perfumy aroma caries over into the flavors. Medium hop flavors, but not like an IPA. Easier to appreciate and less offensive than many pale ales. Tho not the impact of an IPA the hop bitterness is ever present. Bitter grapefruit rind finsih that hangs for a while. Not quite as good or enjoyable as Acme California Pale Ale or Stoudts American Pale Ale. Better than Tröegs Pale Ale. The aroma of this is better than most APA.

Slight sweet or fruity aroma. Brownish darker ginger ale color. Big tan head that does not fade. Earthy flavors without bitterness. Freindly and easy to get along with, pretty enjoyable. Some wet hay taste in there floating along with that earthiness. Has an interesting persisting fruity or sweet honey background lurking in there. Barely any carbonation. Overall, not bad. Does not stack up to East End Fat Gary Nut Brown Ale but certainly much better than Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale and Newcastle. Good job.

Stronger ale aroma, with sweet olfactory impact. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color but ever so slightly hazy. The first taste is earthy, wet hay and medium low carbonation. Slight sour hints are prevelant. I could be mistaken but I think it makes me think a little bit of the flavor or Corsy. Not overpowering. Not quite as refined as a wheat beer should be. Comes across more like a german hefe. Hides the alcohol well. Overall a decent wheat beer with a unique flavor. However, does not stand up to the likes of Hoegaarden.
