CanIHave4Beers (835), Des Moines, Iowa, USA Nov 9, 2009 Pours a very hazy yellow with a tall fluffy white head. The aroma is lemon zest, bread dough and light clove. The flavor is doughy and bready, spicy and clove like, there are light hints of alcohol and the banana sweetness is well controlled. Delicious. WVHouseofBeer (339), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA Nov 8, 2009 Pours a light hazy orange color with a lot of white head, could be a little darker for a Weizen Bock. Strong banana aroma. Medium bodied with a nice sweet banana and malt flavor. sketchmind (17), Omaha, Nebraska, USA Nov 8, 2009 Poured a hazy orange/gold with a nice head that dissapates fairly quick. Esters stand out here in aroma and flavor. Fruity, with just a slight bitter to balance it. Just a tad strange though, with a banana-pineapple-pepper taste - good, just hit me a bit odd. What I do have to really give this beer is it’s wonderful palate. Smooth, full (but not overful or chewy) mouthful that made it so very drinkable. Got even better once it opened up for a few minutes - and the 7.1% is completely hidden. Good. I’d drink it again. beastiefan2k (1590), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Nov 6, 2009 The beer pours prototypical weizen bock-like. Got a strong medium head that sits on top of a very cloudy and hazy dark golden body. Visible carbonation bubbles bum-rush the surface of the beer. The head just sticks around and around and around. Some light passing through the beer but generally a medium clarity. Aroma, aroma, aroma, what can I say about the aroma... its exactly what the Germans do best (no not kill), make beautiful and bountiful wheat beers. Aroma is fully of grainy, brown banana smells. Its wunderbar, love the esters, very well done, I could smell this for a while. The grainy aspect and a very earthy type of banana ester versus an overly fruity one makes this very good aroma. Flavor is toned down dark banana esters as well. A nice estery beer without being overly fruity. A nicely fuller yet light mouthfeel really works well with the structure of the beer. 500mL bottle in a Blind Tiger Brewery weizen glass, was able to pour the whole bottle and still have room to spare. carruthm (1112), Seattle, Washington, USA Nov 5, 2009 Clear orange color with a white head at pour that disappeared completely. Aroma is very hefe like, bananas, cloves, wheat, a touch of bubblegum and light citrus. Flavor is really smooth, drinkable, lightly bitter almost. SSSteve (2047), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Nov 5, 2009 bottle. really thick appearance pouring from the bottle. a dark gold colored beer under a large creamy white head and lots of speedy bubbles. a lively appearance to say the least. a wheaty banana aroma with touches of pineapple. flavor has mostly banana or weizen notes. a bit of cinnamon lingers in the finish. thick, full body. i wish it were a little darker. michael-pollack (2603), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 30, 2009 500ml Bottle: Aroma of wheat, spices, clove, slight banana, light coriander, and hints of pepper and ginger. Poured flaxen/yellow/brown in color with a small, loose, fizzy, off-white head that disappeared. Cloudy. Opaque. Very sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and slightly bitter.

Aroma is rich wheat, yeast overtones, mild spice. Flavor is lightly sweet, very mild bitterness, nourishing bread, light fruit. Finish leaves a wonderful aftertaste. Simple and exceptional.
