A Dunkelweizen???

What is a Dunkelweizen?


This is pronounced “doonn-kel vite-sen”.  The “oo” sounds the same as the “oo” in the word “foot”.   This is a dark version of a hefewiezen.  The beer tends to be a bit cloudy and can range in color from a dark yellow to brown.  They are highly carbonated with a long lasting head.  These are not heavily hopped and tend to have a fruity flavor.  However, this type of beer can also have the flavor hints of clove, vanilla, banana, apple, bubblegum and nutmeg.  The alcohol content can range from 4.0% to 7.0%.
