Ustersbacher Dunkle Weisse

The aroma is slightly
phenolic with a hint of diacetyl. That diacetyl is a flaw and likely
the result of priming with Speise or Kraeusen. In contrast to
bottling and priming with residual extract, priming with Speise or
Kraeusen wil increase the … Continue reading

Another beer that I had
twice w/o knowing it. First at a restaurant where it was sold as
Allgaeuer Brauhaus Weissbier Dunkel and than as Allgaeuer Brauhaus

Schneider Weisse Original

The aroma is a mix of
yeasty, some fruit (although fairly subdued and I was not able to
pick out any particular kind) and even some ethyl acetat (alcohol,
solventy aroma). It assume it is EA, since this beer has only 5.4 %
abv. The taste starts pr… Continue reading

sharpness to it all… Continue reading

Wheat is present in the fin… Continue reading

It has a neutral aroma

slight malt presen… Continue reading

The aroma is clean with
maybe a hint of roast. There is some faint spiciness in the finish
but the overall taste is rather neutral. The bitterness is low and
doesn't linger. It is well carbonmated. Overall, there is hardly any
malt taste. Only… Continue reading

Paulaner Weissbier Dunkel

The aroma is predominantly
phenolic. There is some munich malt character present in the taste,
but it seems rather low for being a dark Weissbier. The beer finishes
with the typical clove spiciness of Weissbiers. At the end I got a
hint of fruit i… Continue reading
