It's not very often we get a dunkleweiss from an American brewer.
Hefeweisses litter the shelves, especially in the spring and summer, but I love
the deep wheat taste of a good dark wheat beer. A little richer, with more ripe
fruit flavors and less banana, a good dunkleweiss just feels richer than it's
lighter counterpart. It helps that one of the last beers I got to enjoy with my
Dad was also a Mayflower Autumn Wheat Ale.
Mayflower autumn wheat pours a
deep amber and wafts up smells of roasted barley and toffee. The taste that
follows is similar with some bitterness mixed in from the hops. The mouthfeel
is very light but also a little light on the carbonation but it almost floats
on the tounge. The bitter finish is a nice touch compared to some of it's
German counterparts, definitely an American touch. Overall an excellent beer as
I move into a new apartment.
