This "Bavarian style" dark wheat beer is brewed by Bayern Staatsbrauerei Weihenshephan in Freising, Germany, at what is reputed to be "The World's Oldest Brewery". It comes in a 500mL bottle and contains 5.3% alcohol.Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel is a cloudy, ruddy brown wheat beer topped with a hurricane of cream head. It's nose is both yeasty and fruity, with a nice citrus quality. Wheat flavours come through plainly, as do notes of banana and a gentle spiciness.
This is a class act dunkel. It's quite refreshing for a darker beer--it's not too sweet and it has only a faint, slightly bitter finish. If you're a fan of flavourful wheat beers, you should be on your way to pick some up immediately.
8.5 out of 10.
