dark but clear appearance with a little amount of quickly dissipating head. Appears the beer is filtered.

Tastes primarily of clove and not much else. Overall, very lacking in flavor that you would expect from the yeast or the malt in a dunkel.

Overall, not a enjoyable drink. If I weren't so frugal I'd poor it down the drain.

A: Pours a dark amber/brown color. A one finger dark beige head forms and recedes with a bit of patchy lace.
S: A big clove bomb up front. Not a lot else there, but a plastic phenolic like spice. Light grains, and then fades to nothing.
T: Like the nose, cloves are big up front and pretty much the entire show. Light phenol's, light grainy/toasted malts. That is it. No finish, and just showing off the bare minimum for the style.
M/O: A light to medium body. Fairly smooth, but no finish and no real snap or definition. If that makes sense. Not hard to drink, but looking for something else pretty quickly.

Maybe just slightly above average for the style. At least for most American interpretations. Doesn't compare to Live Oak or any German examples that are easy to get.

Poured on tap at WOB - College Station 16oz. Weisen glass

L - deep amber red with barely no head. Very small amount of lacing left behind.

S - faint clover and banana notes, otherwise pretty clean.

T - banana and nutmeg, not overpowering not too present. Just barely showcasing what the style should taste like.

F - it goes equally as fast as it comes.

O - i'll deem it a good attempt at what the style is, but compared to truly german representative beers of this style it seems to be falling short on all fronts. Feels light and seems faint.

Wanted to give this a chance since it's a local brew. The beer doesn't have any flaws as I can tell, it's just not a style I enjoy. That said, would I drink this again? I think that all depends on the weather honestly. I only think I could enjoy this during the cooler months, in which they might be crushable.

This is my favorite "in town" beer. It has a great flavor, and is somewhat unique in its combination of Hefeweizen and dark fruit and spice. I enjoyed this from a can. Nice but short lived head. Not much lacing. I look forward to the rest of the six pack and buying more.
