Jun 10, 2008 Pours hazy orange color with huge white head that lasted forever. Aromas of citrus and hops. Flavors of clove, dough, citrus, wheat, hops and a slight burn of alcohol. Medium body with lively carbonation. An excellent weizen bock.

Dec 30, 2007 Picked up a growler of this at Shoreline in Huntington NY. Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow/gold with a medium foamy white head. Smells of yeast, grain, malt and bananas. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty, grainy with a touch of that barnyard funk. Finish is mild and crisp and hides the strength in the alcohol.

Sep 16, 2007 Draught at Pete’s Waterfront Ale House. Poured a cloudy yellow/orange with active carbonation and a thin white head. Yeasty aromas of banana and mild cheese at the forefront, with some floral notes, citrusy hops, fruit and mild spice underneath. Flavor up front was mostly bright grapefruity, definitely American hops. Underneath was off-sweet bready/biscuity malts with some melony fruitiness. With due time, the flavor becomes something akin to a hoppy "Juicyfruit" gum. For comparison purposes, the German-made version seemed to have had way more complexity in spice and body. This version seems lighter and fruitier, with less of a clovey spiciness and more of a refreshing citrus hop quality. Does it blow me away? Not quite. But a pretty good hoppy take on an old world style.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Modarate aromas of grain and cereal ofr the malt side, perfume and lemon for the hops, musty and leather for the yeast, with banana, wood, nutmeg, and alcohol in the background. Head is large, frothy/rocky white with good lacing and is fully lasting. Color is hazy amber/tan. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter, and a touch sour. Palate is medium, slick with a lively carbonation. It’s exactly what it claims to be, a hoppy weizen. Excellent.

Apr 2, 2009 Poured to a hazy golden yellow with medium-thick off-white head that lingered well and left decent lacing. Nose was a very strong and noticeable mix of hops, spices (clove) and fruit, especially bananas. Mouthfeel is full and somewhat tingly, and the taste mirrors the nose, with the pleasant addition of the 8.5% alcohol as the beer warmed. This led to a finish that was slightly bitter, long lasting and very pleasant.
A very nice surprise from Brooklyn brewery, since I’ve not been impressed by most of their offerings.

Nov 10, 2009 Thanks to dear John K. for this sample. Poured great with a big off white head and plenty of lace. Color is a typical of the style hazy/cloudy yellow. Aroma is massively lemon along with some spice, fruit, hop, and malt. Flavor’s almost exactly the same. Body and carbonation are quite good. Bit too lemony for session.
