This poured cloudy brown.nice tan head that retained fairly well.
smell was of clove and banana, but mildly so,
taste was rich and creamy, with a nice bit of banana, and hint of clove
, some maltyness, with a mild hop kiss. mouthfeel was full and excellent, creamy.
drinkability was fantastic! The best American Dunkel Weizen, that I have had, and stands up well to the best imports of the style...very good!....Thanks again erica!

Wow. what an amazing offering - the first of its kind at Bethlehem Brew Works. One of the first pints tapped on 08.18.05...
Deep and rich dark tan hue graced my glass. A beautiful, unfiltered gem, to say the least. The head was about a finger's worth to start, but eventually faded to a lingering lace along the side of the glass. The only question I would have had would have been whether to use roasted malt instead of chocolate malt. But that makes this Bier no less scintilating.
The aromas were of banana and clove esthers. The chocolate maltiness in this brew came out as a nice twist to the standard roasted malt option.
The flavor was smooth and uncloying. Again, malty goodness, with the ever balancing goodness of banana overtones. One would never know this was 5.8% if they were not told - the alcohol was hidden very well...
A fine, fine brew, to say the least. The Weihenstephan yeast strain was put to fantastic use on this one. Great balance between the sweetness, maltiness and roasty goodness. This is one of the best American interpretations of the German dunkelweizen that I have had in years. Not too bad, considering it was The Brew Works' (and Lewis') first attempt at the style. Well worth seeking out if you are in the area. I know I will be sucking up as many growlers of the stuff as I can while it is available.
