Bavarian Dunkel Weissbier from Waitrose

4.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 4 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 4.5
500ml bottle (Waitrose Bavarian Dunkel Weissbier): BBD Oct 15, poured into a Weizen glass in Dec 14. Murky brown, with a full and lasting off-white head. Nose was of bread yeastiness, light caramel and spice hints. The taste a bit bland and disappointing with only traces of flavour, banana mostly, yet very weak even then. Expected more depth and flavour.

Bottle at home shared with Sarah. This was a Christmas present from Sarah’s grandparents. Clear light golden coloured pour with a lasting frothy white head. Some lace. Aroma is earthy straw, orange and coriander, light honey sweet and some mixed spice. Flavour is composed of semi sweet honey, light earthy straw, light spice, coriander. Palate is very highly carbonated, semi-sweet. Carbonation attacks the tongue. A little lingering metallic note.

Such as it is, such as it was.. such as it always would be. This has an okay copper body with no carbonation and a vaguely familiar head. The aroma is too much fusel and not enough everything else. As for the rest of it - caramel, molasses, intense alcohol, all of this is not intelligently put together nor well presented. These are not heroe’s beers, but a mediocre attempt at recapturing the past. If the past was this bad for you, dude, get a ticket out and some decent party time where they won’t arrest your ass for having a beer.

Bottled from Kent Boys. Pale red color with lace. Nose of roses, fresh plums, a bit earthy. Somewhat vineous, fruity flavor. Interesting and a nice drink.

Bottle. Deep gold color. Malty, honey nose, biscuits and light oranges. Sweet and malty flavor, not a lot of hop presence. Easy drinking and ok but not very exciting.

Bottle from Waitrose, Stevenage. Clear yellow-gold with no head. Not too impressed with this, the pilsner style is very understated with not a lot of flavour. Somewhat floral and grassy, it has a small chemical-like taste that makes this a poor beer.
