(bottle) Cloudy, dark brown colour with a big and slowly lacing beige foamy head. Sweet and delicately toasted malty and wheaty aroma with pronounced fruity notes of dark berries, cassis and shy phenolic spices (cloves, vanilla). Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toasty malty and wheaty taste with slightly sourish berry-fruity notes. Sweet and moderately fruity finish with light clove-spicy notes, which makes it pleasant to drink (18.II.09).

Bottle. Clear, chestnut-brown coloured, quickly vanishing off-white loose head. Moderate sweetish-nutty and caramelly nose with some hoppy edges. Moderate sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied, soft MF. Nutty-bitter finish. Decent and simple...........

(Euro2 bottle) Cloudy, amber colour with a very huge and firm, slowly lacing off-white foamy head. Light-sweet, slightly wheaty, cara-malty aroma with a delicate apricot-fruity and herbal hoppy note. Moderately sweet flavour with a tinge of sourness, almost medium bodied with a slick mouthfeel. Wheaty and cara-malty base with distinctive apricot-fruity notes and a touch of banana; almost dry, wheaty and slightly citrousy hoppy finish with a delicate clovy spice. Well-balanced, and tasty Ur-Weizen (19.X.08).

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a big and beige foamy head. Sweet and slightly sugary toast-malty aroma with notes of toffee and a shy tinge of hops. Light-sweet flavour, medium bodied with a calm carbonation. Delicately toasted malty taste with toffee and a touch of sour dough; medium-dry toasty finish with a moderate level of bitterness. Decent but unexciting Franconian Landbier (12.X.08).

Draught at some Pizzeria Trattoria in Lauf an der Pegnitz. OK banana aroma. Cloudy caramelly brown colour. Big stable creamy tan head. The flavour also has some banana. Quite sweet, butterscotch flavour. A standard dunkel or perhaps bernstein weizen.

Bottled. An unclear orange-brown beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, wheat, and bread as well as hints of banana. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of wheat and caramel as well as medium notes of bread and light notes of bananal, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Verwässert süßer Malzantrunk imt deutlichem Hefeneinschlag. Bis auf die Wässrigkeit ist es ein gelungener Antrunk, später weicht die Hefe allerdings der Herbe, das Bier entwickelt sich nur wenig. Die Würzigkeit steigt malzbedingt erst im Abgang wieder auf ein angenehme aber keinesfalls wirklich starke Intensität. Etwas verbrannt malzig, eher lascher Nachgeschmack. 11/9/9/10/8/9

Fruchtiger, etwas kaffeartiger Geruch. Hefiger, etwas säuerlicher Antrunk. Das Bier wird zum Mittelteil würziger und vollmundiger, dabei kommt auch eine gewisse Fruchtigkeit auf, die aber nicht lange hält. Dagegen spielt die säuerliche Hefigkeit auch im Abgang noch eine Rolle, wobei die Säuerlichkeit inzwischen durch eine dezente Süße ersetzt wurde. Keinesfalls schlecht, es fehlt das gewisse Etwas. Test vom 19.4.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,8,9,8,8 - 8,50
