Sierra Nevada / Ayinger Brewery Beer Camp Across the World: Dunkle Weisse Dunkelweizen at 5.7% ABV | 10 IBU (US$2.15 at Beer Thirty Bottle Shop & Pour House, 355 ml, packaged on 25-Apr-2017, acquired 21-Jun-2017, reviewed 22-Jun-2017)
Appearance: near opaque deep amber with one fat finger of rocky beige head diminishing gradually to a thick persistent cap, minimal lacing. (3/5) Aroma: toasted bread, coffee, caramel, mild banana, light coriander/clove. (8/10) Taste: moderate-low sweet, mild bitter. (8/10) Medium creamy body, moderate carbonation, dry medium duration finish. (3/5)
Another decent offering in this collaboration pack, with Ayinger exhibiting a characteristic dark Hefeweizen. (Not sure what the “twist” promised by the label is, though?) Pleasantly mild, well-balanced, and easy drinking, regardless. (15/20)
