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.

A nice German Pilsener beer. Has a nice balanced hop flavour (not too bitter) and a good beer flavour. May be a bit light for those who prefer a stronger beer taste.
