Kulmbacher - Kapuziner Weiss Biers

Kapuziner Brauerei is the wheat beer or weissbier producing subsidary of Kulmbacher Brauerei.  I've tried all of the other Kulmbacher beers but haven't tried any of the Kapuziner imprint.  Here is what I thought:

Kapuziner Weissbier - This beer pours a cloudy orange with a very generous head that crested the rim of the glass but held it's shape.  The head gradually dissolves, leaving lots of lacing on the sides.  Cloves, spices and fruits dominate the aroma.  The first taste is one of cloves and hints of bananas and orange.  The finish is crisp and clean with a fruity after taste.  A pretty decent weissbier.


Kapuziner Weissbier Dunkel - A dark chocolately brown with a generous beige head that hung around for awhile.  The aroma is of roasted wheat and slightly smoky.  The taste is cloves and bananas and the finish is crisp and clean. Not my favorite dunkel wiesse but not bad either.


Kapuziner Winter Weissbier - This beer pours a dark cloudy orangish brown with a generous beige head that dissolves down to about a finger width.  The aroma is spices and cloves.  The taste is citrus and bananas.  The finish is crisp and clean with hints of spices lingering.  An interesting winter wheat.


Kapuziner Kristall Weisse - This beer pours a clear dark amber with slightly off white head that dissolves quickly leaving lots of lacing on the sides of the glass.  Aroma is cloves and fruits...oranges and bananas?  The taste is more of the same cloves and citrus.  The finish is light and very crisp.  This one was my probably my favorite Kapuziner.
