Street market and beer, part 3

After visiting the street market me and Per went to Monks to grab a few beers. They had a german festival and an american wheat beer on sale so we started out with a german lager and the wheat beer.

Irseer Kloster-Urtrunk
(bottle) 5,6%
It poured a slightly hazy golden liquid with a small white foam that left very little lacing. It had a very weak smell of bread and a hint of bathroom. It was fairly smooth with a little bit of acidic bitterness and some sweetness, honey mostly. An average lager but a bad beer.
Total: 1,9/5

Goose Island 312 Urban Wheat Ale (bottle) 4,2%
It poured a clear pale yellow liquid with a very small foam that left very little lacing. It had a weak smell of bread and just the slightest hint of yeast. It was smooth and very watery with just a hint of yeast. Very bad wheat beer, a big dissapointment.
Total: 1,4/5

Riegele Augustus Weizendoppelbock (tap) 8,5%
It poured a hazy brown-golden liquid with a small white foam that quickly dissapeared. It had a scent of butter scotch, banana and a hint of yeast. It tasted of foam banana, butter scotch with a hint of candy. However the butter scotch ruins it a bit, it doesn't really fit very well with the beer.
Total: 2,8/5
