Feb 24, 2009 Pour is hazy gold with a big, foamy white head. Nice lacing left behind in the glass. Aroma of lemon, fresh grass, spice and some floral hopping. Flavor is bitter up front partially due to carbonation. Finishes dry, almost too dry for my liking. Medium bodied. Decent beer.

Feb 23, 2009 Pours a dull thick cloudy orange with a thick head with great retention. Lovely witbier aroma, cloves and bananas. Love the taste - Sweet alcohol, hops, cloves, tasty! Thick and creamy body, good carbonation. Hops! Grapefruit and citrus! Love this beer.

Feb 20, 2009 Pours a thick apple juice color that looks like thick chicken broth.
Banana and wheat malt smell somewhat spicy with a bubblegum aroma.
Thick soupy wheat grain taste, spicy with pepper, and an astringent sour finish.
Full bodied wheat soup resin feel and has lively soft carbonation with the alcohol finish.
Completely surprised although impressed with the balance.

Feb 19, 2009 Sampled at a beer and food pairing with Garritt Oliver. Poured golden with off white head. Aroma was banana, clove, yeast, and peppery hops. Had a medium mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation. Flavor followed the nose. This was paired with a jerk chicken. I never thought I would drink a hot spicy beer before. The spice in the chicken brought out peppery hot spices from the hops. Simply amazing.

Feb 18, 2009 750 ml bottle acquired via trade with Beerlando. Thanks! Pours a hazy goldish orangish, light hued, with big offwhite bubbly head, medium hazed, with a head that dies down somewhat. Aromas are dominated by lemony citrus, belgian spicy yeast, estery fruitiness (Banana) mixed with wheaty malts and some notes of a floral hoppiness. Initial is light on the tounge, but definitely not a light beer. Flavors are wheaty malts and grains, balancing fruity esters (Banana, again, largely), belgian yeasty spice, amarillo hops with some grassy feels, and a nice creamy sweetness. Bitterness and sweetness actually work extremely well together. A very well done brew. Look forward to trying the other version, as I hear it is on / will be on at Binnys South Loop. Cheers!

Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Poured a hazy copper-orange with a substantial head that quickly dwindled. This has quite the solid Belgianesque, spicy aroma. It drinks with a musty, earthy moldiness that is somehow still pretty delicious ... a strange marriage of German wheatiness and Belgian yeastiness ... quite the blend. (#3496, 2/15/2009)

Feb 12, 2009 Bottle (kindly delivered by asheft!) - sampled simultaneously with the "german" version: Golden, cloudy, mid-sized fluffy "dirty" white head; extreme "sticky" piney hoppy nose with illusions of fresly mowed grass and a lighter wheaty-fruity background; very solid dry bitter flavour, creamy MF, medium to full bodied; smooth, lingering, dry hoppy and grainy finish. Great, great stuff.....
The german equivalent is made by the use of different hops, which seem to be - compared directly - a little, little bit less aromatic. Nevertheless also a superb brew.......

Feb 3, 2009 Bottled. Weizenbock? Really? Ok, whatever. Pours with a monster head and beautifully opaque body. Very muggy, sweaty aroma, like a gym locker room, mixed with some sugary notes along with a bitter Belgian hop. Thick, dank flavor, like morning dew dripping off a hop leaf, or maybe like licking a hop leaf after some sweaty jock rubbed up against it. You get the idea.
