Scent of apple juice, flavor is a bit sweet, wet hay, nice finish. A little more malty and less cereal than I think I was looking for, but maybe I'm just really out of practice with these fest biers.

Much less sweet than expected; a savory banana cake of a beer, super smooth finish. Just a bit of yeasty tang sticks in the throat. Very nice from this brewery, as usual.

I speak the language now! Richly malty amber lager, good mix of funk and malt sweetness. Definitely not crisp.

Starts a lot like the Pinkus from the other day, but the finish is more confidently German; white pepper/clove though not as unpleasant in strength as the Belgians can take it. Beats the Pinkus but maybe not enough to put it in the next tier.

Dark plum, but actually kind of watery .

Very nice beer I liked it a lot

Strong, fruity funk immediately noticeable in the scent. Sweet and sharp rather than watery. A little more bitter, and frankly a little more character than I expected .

Nutty and malty flavors. It's semi sweet with a very light bitterness.

Sweet, roasted malt.

Somewhat dank, vegetal fragrance on top of the usual dunkelweizen aromas. Lots of banana and clove, and enough coriander to lend a savory feeling to the affair. The finish is thin and dry, undoubtedly clean but not what I was looking for today - so a "decent" for now. At some point I really want to do a vertical with Ayinger, Weihenstephaner and maybe Maisel or Franziskaner. I think I'm ready.

The second one was not quite as good as the first. The sweet gets to you. But still awesome.

Wonderfully malty with a sweet finish. Reminds me of Germany. I'm going to have at least one more before lunch is over. Life is good.

Slightly fruity malt flavors and a slightly sweet finish. Nothing particularly interesting or offensive

Malty sweetness and roastiness with hints of coffee and caramel. Fruit as it warms up. Finish is pretty clean for such a full bodied beer.

Smells of funky banana. Banana and clove on the palate with a funky finish. No flavors are overdone, the beer is well balanced and very good.

Supposedly this style is the basis for beers like Alaskan Amber, but this was pale yellow and decidedly more distinct in flavor (as one would hope!). A bit of wet hay sweetness on the front and a decently bitter finish, I liked this quite a bit.

Light fruity tang to smell. Crisp cereal-sweet body with good fullness. Pleasant cereal taste lingers.

Nice strong funk to open. Body's a bit thin but flavor-wise it's there. And I appreciate a not-overtly-sweet Oktoberfest, for once.

I liked the flavor - nice caramel malt -but it was somewhat waterier than I expected.

Sweet mild-funky smell. Starting sweetness and a hard-to-pinpoint-sharpness exits quickly.

Estery. A little too much banana.

Too much of the banana ester flavor for me to taste anything else.

Perfect patio beer
