Pictured. $4.99 for the bottle these days! That head is still magnificent, the beer still gives that muted banana note, and very light, drying spice in far back end.

If I’m honest, not may favorite style, but it’s important that styles are standardized and this is one of those beers.

$2.49, Green’s on Ponce de Leon, Atlanta, GA, USA.

Poured into the Southampton Weizen glass, this has a head that looks superb. Initially huge, it dies slowly to give a rocky and pitted perfect froth. Surprisingly little lacing. Typical cloudy orange body underneath.

Aroma has some bananas, but there seems to be a spiced overtone to it as well – maybe some apples? As it warms the bananas become increasingly apparent.

The tastes are mainly muted bananas. What I like about this beer is it is quintessential for the style. Ask me what a Dunkel should be – this is it. Maybe I should have scored it 5 across the board, but my ratings are not only style based.

Nice round mouthfeel – satisfying and refreshing and light. Surprisingly light actually. Delicious.

Drinkability is excellent, a lovely example and a quality beer.
