Straw malt and strong herbal bitterhop aroma. Pale golden, creamy lacing head. Light body, strawlike malty base. Herbal minty bitterhops. Too little followup.

Bottle. A sweet bubble gum - peach malt aroma. Dark opaque brown color with decent head. Initial sweet peach-banana flavor with a mild estery bock finish. Well balanced - bock flavor not overpowering and a strong weizen flavor. Another great Kauzen beer.

Bottle. Aroma of a very lemony Sprite(tm). Light yellow with a decent head for a Radler. Flavor on the watery side - primarily lemon-lime soda flavor - can’t really detect the beer except for the merest hint of hops in the finish. A decent enough Radler - if that’s what you’re in the mood for but probably want to avoid if you want real beer.

Bottle. Fruity malt aroma. Pale yellow color with little head. Mild slightly sweet malt flavor - moderate carbonation but only the slightest hint of bitterness. A very enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Coffee, chocolate, chestnut malt aroma - complex. Dark brown color with quickly collapsing head. Very nice creamy mocha malt taste with the slightest hint of hops - palate lasts well after swallowing - this brewery is a hidden jewel in Franconia - great beers.

Bottle. Light banana, clove and malt aroma. Dark cloudy cola brown color. Nice flavor - malt well blended with fruit flavor with mild hops bitterness and minimal sweetness - rather complex but not as strong as some dunkels. Would be perfect if it had a bit more of a ’bite’.

Nice hops aroma. Dark yellow color wtih good head. Full hops flavor with just a hint of sweetness (apricot/peach). Full palate. A very good pilsener.

Very nice banana aroma - very slight hint of cloves. Slightly cloudy appearance (mine had large chunks of yeast floating in it - should have swirled it more). Quite a bit of carbonation - clean tasting but that’s not what I want in a Weizen - banana flavor is very subtle - had to concentrate to even taste it. Palate also not as ful as I like in a Weizen. Good beer but not much character.

Has a spectacular aroma - bananas with a hint of apples and cloves - I could almost be satisfied just smelling this beer. Less head than many Weizens. Quite a bit of carbonation. A mild flavor - subtle fruit flavor (banana doesn’t come out as much in the taste). This is an excellent Weizen. Excellent taste without being overpowering. / Revisit 6-27-25 Cloudy golden yellow with nice head. Banana, clove, orange, apple, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet banana, orange, clove, wheat malt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Damn, I miss living in Unterfranken.
