Mar 29, 2009 A rather unusual product. Not a classic weizen-bock by any stretch, but very interesting. The difference is the hops, many many nice hops used for aroma only, very aromatic hop flowers. The look of this is classic, hazy, very thick foamed, dark yellow. Thick lacing. The palate is a bit sour, dry, fruity, delicate. Overall a very nice beer. Thanks for the trade Ron!

Jul 4, 2009 Thistle, pineapple, and pine bouquet. Caramel undertones. Cloudy golden, massive light yellow head, good lacing. Vinous lemon cream pie with pineapple and clove flavor. Pine and clove finish. Much hoppier and less hefe than the Schneider version.

May 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a one finger white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of bananas, wheat, Amarillo hops (YUM), floral hops, yeast, and a hint of clove. Taste is the same as aroma with the clove being a bit more dominant. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness and well hidden alcohol. This beer is so well balanced and just down right tasty. The Amarillo and Palisade hops were a perfect compliment to the yeast phenols and wheat. A very tasty brew.

Jul 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orangish brown color, big white cotton-like head with decent lacing. Lots of Belgian yeast aromas, bubble gum, wheat, hay, grass, with a piney bite in the end. Hops are big up front in the flavor, with hay, wheat, clove, plum, citrus, and a pleasant bitter finish. Very bright and refreshing. Full-bodied, and the ABV is very well disguised.

Nov 12, 2009 Location: 750 ml bottle from Gilly’s, 11/12/09
Aroma: The aroma has some among other things: orange, clove, banana, and citrus
Appearance: Cloudy golden-orange color with a nice fluffy white head
Flavor: Taste is a balanced (really well meshed) combination of wheat, fruit, malt and a hop backing
Palate: This one is quite smooth with a solid amount of body and a nice mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
This is a pretty darn good beer. I liked this one quite a bit. One of those beers that lives up to its rep for sure. One of the owners of Gilly’s gave me a sampling of this one, and I wanted to grab a whole bottle to bring home, but I couldn’t pull the trigger on the $19 price tag, if I see this one sometime in the future for a lesser cost, I will certainly be likely to grab one, because it is quite, quite good.

Aug 23, 2009 Noble hops, dry malt and fruity oranges on the nose. A nice welcoming scent. Vibrant orange color with a heavy head and good lacing. Hearty, balanced beer leaning on the sweet side but with a good hop presence. Dry wheat, honey and mild fruits. A hint of musty yeast as well as fresh bread and a faint woodiness.

Sep 24, 2007 Sampled at the 2007 BrewGrass Festival. Pours hazy straw-onion skin color with a HUGH frothy white head. Aroma was very pleasing with grasses, fresh light citrus, hints of herb and yeast. Well balanced flavor! Just WOW! I really did not have the words for this one and it was early in the festival. Grassy, light caramel or fruit and wheat grains, citrus, yeast, spice. Creamy full mouth feel. I really wanted to drink it all day. This was the surprise of the day for me and it blew me away. I may have over rated this a bit but I just could not believe that I liked this style so much. The best wheat beer I’ve ever had.
